I was assisted by Prince on the Afrihost whatsaap help centre, firstly there was no waiting time, Prince immediately texted me and helped me with an issue that another ISP could not help me with, he did this within a couple of minutes, sent proof and assured me that my issue will be handled accordingly. I am grateful to Prince and the team at Afrihost for their excellent customer service and their willingness to help with my issue.

Without a doubt, afrihost provide the best customer service I have ever experienced from an internet service provider. The quality of their service, combined with their competitive pricing and no contracts locking you in, is the reason I now use them as my mobile network provider.

I was truly impressed with the service received so far. The person who helped me (Flavia) was both courteous and very professional. All of my questions were answered and I was left feeling very satisfied. Thank you Afrihost. Let's hope we can build a good relationship going forward and I look forward to using your product as soon as it is delivered. Thank you.

Ordered their Pure LTE package. From ordering off their website to receiving my package in hand was less than 24hrs. Brilliant service guys - Thankyou! They even prepared the router for me so all I had to do was plug in which was flawless. MTN and Vodacom… you guys have no understanding of Customer & Service.

I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate having the live chat assistance from an Afrihost technician over Whatsapp. This Saturday morning George assisted me over Whatsapp with patience and understanding with router issues after problems with our OpenServe fibre line was fixed. Afrihost, you are setting a high standard in customer service, service on a level that I can only dream of from other vendors. I would recommend Afrihost without reservation to all my friends and family. Thanks a million.

I've never been to the physical location, but I was asked to rate their service. This star review is a measure of their online customer service, not the physical location.

Getting started with Pure DSL

How is Pure DSL different from other DSL products?

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!

How to get connected to Pure DSL

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

How long will it take to get connected?

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

How to check if you have Pure DSL coverage in your area

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

Will all line speeds be available in covered areas?

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 you do not have Pure DSL coverage 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

Are your DSL packages shaped?

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.

General questions

Is the price of the DSL line included in the package price?

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.

Will I have to pay a setup fee?

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

Do I need a copper line to use Pure DSL?

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

I do not have a copper line, can I get one installed?

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.

Can I use my current DSL modem?

Please note, however, that Pure DSL is a service separate from your existing DSL Internet. You’ll have to sign up for a new package via our website and Openserve will have to install new DSL services at your premises.

Follow our Getting Connected guide for instructions on how to get Pure DSL.

Please note that if you change from an older Afrihost DSL package to Pure DSL, you will NOT be able to change back.
