Great, simple, efficient and affordable. Exactly what an SME business needs. I’d like to see them penetrate the informal market. The opportunity is there to be disruptive.

Afrihost might be the only ISP that really has its support offering working well. I've used it a few times, and they always get me sorted quickly. What more is there to say?

Massive thanks to Shingirai T. at Afrihost support! They helped me navigate the hosting ocean and find the perfect plan for my website. Friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful - what more could you ask for? Highly recommend!

As usual Afrihost always comes through with solutions, not excuses and they are quick to respond when called upon. That in itself is sorely lacking in my experience with other similar service providers, Thanks Guys

I love Afrihost. We’ve been using it as a family for more than six years. We use their fibre, hosting services and even their cellphone network. They’re a great one stop shop and support is quick and easy. Most reliable we’ve had over the years.

The best series the network is the best all the time doesn't get interruptions during the day and in the night I will definitely recommend the series.

I have always been very impressed with Afrihost service. I have multiple domains hosted with them, both for websites and mail servers. So far over the past 12 years, I have had about a hand full of complaints from my clients regarding being down, and even then, about half the problems were not even related to Afrihost. Thank you for your awesome service with hosting.

Been with Afrihost on and off for about ten years, and they've consistently provided great pricing and pretty much unmatched service. The only issues I've ever had with them were because they had to deal with Telkom/Openserve, and it goes without saying that that's not their fault.

Just moved across to Afrihost. Excellent service and very painless. Prefer the online comms as one gets answered quickly and not like left on hold / call cut off like other companies.

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.

General questions

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.
