I would like to commend Apfeswaho for her outstanding service. She was the first agent who genuinely took the time to understand my issue and resolve it properly. She was patient, clear in her explanations, and very professional. Vuma is lucky to have someone like her on their team.

Been with Afrihost for more than 20 years! From Dial-up to ISDN then ADSL and now Fibre! Never had connectivity other than National Internet outages. I've tried many ISP's. Afrihost is definatnevely the best. I have Pure Fibre and Pure Voip with Afrihost and while posting this review, my Pure Mobile Sim card is on the way and I know its gonna be worth waiting for another super product. Thank you Afrihost

The WhatsApp remote assistance is awesome. Refentse was amazing at helping me fix my router. I'm glad I didn't have to wait for 2 days for a technician to come in person.

Love their customer support! No more waiting for hours on the phone just to have it hung up when you finally get through like so many other companies. Thanks Afrihost!

You may pay a little more for their services, but that "little extra" speaks volumes when you need support. I've been with them for years and I've yet to be let down by them, their services and/or their team.

Absolutely exemplary service from Afrihost and specifically Sibusiso M. Quick, efficient and concise with that personal touch. We could definitely benefit from more of this kind of quality in the service industry... Will definitely be recommending Afrihost to all of my clients!

Beverly helped me when my domain was down and I couldn’t receive emails—she was an absolute star. Polite, professional, and incredibly respectful, she asked for the right access before doing anything, which made me feel totally secure. She resolved the issue quickly and kindly, and honestly turned a stressful situation into a breeze. Massive kudos to her—Afrihost, she’s a keeper!

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.

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.
