I have to say, out of every company I have dealt with, Afrihost has, by far, the best technical support. It is a PLEASURE to deal with them, they are always fast, knowledgeable and helpful and frankly no one else can hold a candle to them. I have been using Afrihost for years, for email and website hosting, and I don't see myself changing anytime soon. I definitely recommend them.

I love Afrihost, I have had very few errors in the years with them since ADSL and really happy with how they have always treated me. I am in IT myself so a lot of troubleshooting is done by myself if I do have issues to provide the required information to resolve issues.

In my recent interactions, Nombulelo exhibited a level of dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail that exceeded my expectations. Her commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction is truly commendable. Nombulelo’s positive attitude and exceptional service have undoubtedly contributed to a positive experience for me. I believe it is essential to acknowledge outstanding performance, and I wanted to ensure that Nombulelo’s efforts are recognized at the managerial level. Her exemplary service reflects positively on your team and contributes to the overall reputation of your department. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to continued positive interactions with your team.

Great service, never had problems with net work. And monthly data expires every other month so you never run out of data as a the new data add ontop of the last month data.

Afrihost has excellent whatsapp support. My internet somehow went down , I used the whatsapp number to report the problem & it was resolved within 15 minutes.

What I like about them is that, they have a WIFI help platform which means you can send them pictures of all those technical funny stuff that you don't even understand as you go along so that you and the operator are on the same page ,and you don't have to worry much about whether you've explained the problem to them correctly because they see it as well. This reduced my anxiety as the client during the entire process. LOL, I was setting up my WIFI router just incase you're wondering as to what happened because I had recently switched from another service provider, and boy am I glad I did. Anyways, I think I will be stuck with these guys for a very long time, and thankfully by choice!

One of the best hosting providers out there. All providers experience some turbulence, impossible not too. But Afrihost in my experience has the most helpful support staff I have ever come across.

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.
