I had a great experience with Afrihost agent named Suzan. The agent explained to me in such a manner, that I understood everything. Great service!

Recently signed up for Afrihost fibre to the home (pure fiber 10/10) through vumatel. Very easy setup and installation. I collected the router and set it up myself at home with help via WhatsApp. Friendly and helpful staff. Need to test speed once all my devices are up and running. But so far so good! Long may it last

I’ve had different products with Afrihost since about 2012 if not earlier. When fibre became available in our area I had to choose Afrihost as their service is awesome 👏🏽

Afrihost on my phone is great! So easy to top up and the app works well. Afrihost for our home WiFi is shockingly bad. Extremely slow most of the time unfortunately

Please can you just give Thabang a Bells or a raise. Or both! He assisted with my fibre connection issue and had it sorted out and connected in less than an hour. Two other agents on your team kept me waiting for days! Great service Thabang. And thank you!

When it comes to the world of internet, Afrihost is the best. Always there via whatsapp or calls and very efficient agents. Keep up the good work Afrihost.

Great services received and stable and fast internet speeds at decent prices. Although always choose octotel or any other service provider over open serve. Just from my personal experience.

I’ve been with a number of ISP’s and Afrihost has to be by far the best. Friendly staff always ready and willing to go over and beyond with assistance. Their service is efficient and seamless, payment processing is easy. Everything is just 10/10

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.
