What an amazing experience moving to Afrihost! Professional and friendly staff made the move seamless. A prime example of how things can be done to be set apart from the rest. Thank you.

Ive been using Afrihost for various services for over 7 years. Regardless of the service I used (hosting, reselling or even internet), they have been dynamic, adaptive and cost efficient.

Problems may occur occasionally but friendly, well trained support staff is always handy and capable of helping. Where as other ISP's I previously contracted with I had to wait days on end to get any help, with Afrihost I get immediate support, that's a win in my books.

Frustrated that I couldn't talk to anyone on the phone but the Whatsapp chat option worked well and my question was quickly answered and I was happy with the service.

The WhatsApp support service is great. I've had my queries resolved every time, all without the hassle of waiting on hold for a call operator.

Really great ISP, making thing so much simpler. I don't have to buy air time and stay on hold or even stand in a long line. Just a whatsapp msg and I get a quick response. Thank for the great service Afrihost.

Very happy with my experience with Afrihost! Ive been with them for 2 years now and I've never had an issue with my fibre! The times i have contacted them about hardware issues (my one router lived out its lifespan and i struggled with configuration with the new one) they were friendly and very knowledgeable! I recommend Afrihost to all my family and friends!

I would like to rate all 3 of the agents I had the pleasure to be in contact with Thabang M, Kelso and Prince M. They were all super informative answered all my questions with ease and kindness, excitedly waiting for my fiber to be delivered! Please keep up the awesome service. I hope this level of service will continue, throughout the fiber installation and connection.

Afrihost is a very reliable business their customer service support is top tier. I chatted with one of their agents over WhatsApp regarding my fibre line interruption. The very next morning a team was sent and resolved my issue. It turns out the guys that mow our lawn had cut through the fibre wire that runs through the box on the outside.

Getting started with Pure DSL

Unlike regular DSL, you do NOT need to pay for a voice landline that you don’t even use. With Pure DSL you only pay for the DSL line rental and data - saving you more than R200 every month!

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

Once you’ve signed up for a Pure DSL package, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

Checking Pure DSL coverage

Use our Coverage Tool to check if DSL is available in your area.

No, not all line speeds will be available in all covered areas. This is because of infrastructure restrictions on Openserve’s side. Please use our Coverage Tool to check which packages are available in your area.

If DSL is not available in your area, we’ll check if any of our other data solutions are available. You can also choose to give us your details and we’ll let you know as soon as one of our Internet solutions becomes available in your area.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
