Out of the numerous ISPs we've been with, Afrihost have been the best. Yes, some days are not always great but there's the saying "You can't have a rainbow without a little rain"

What an experience! I decide to collect my router myself as I was too excited to wait for delivery. As soon as I entered the building, I felt this vibe of happiness and excitement. I couldn't help but notice the beautiful break/lunch area set out for the employees. The representative who assisted me (unfortunately his name was to long to remember) was extremely helpful, friendly and made me feel right at home. Thank you Afrihost for the great experience today and for looking after your employees so well!

(Translated by Google) I like Afrihost in general but would like a more personal telephone experience. (Original) Ek hou van Afrihost in die algemeen maar sou graag ‘n meer persoonlikke tellefoniese ervaring wou he.

Super amazing. Been with the service now for 5 years - starting with just email domain, then website hosting, now added wifi to the packages. Always available to assist (when it's not after hours), super friendly and efficient. Would totally recommend to other consumers looking for reliable and tech-savvy providers.

My account was sorted out very quickly with Afrihost this time. So I'm very satisfied with their service as the agent understood my situation very well too

As far as their customer service is concerned, they're the best company I've had interactions with. Even with the most frustrating issues — that can sometimes take much longer than anticipated to resolve — I've always found them responsive, patient and helpful. It's great to see a company that makes an effort to train their consultants to attend to clients with the respect and patience they afford you, and to do so consistently irrespective of who the luck of the draw allocates you to. With some companies, you have to ask for a specific person to help. With Afrihost, never. Thank you. May you grow from strength to strength.

I have been working with Afrihost for over two years now and they are consistent in terms of quality, value for money, professionalism...you name it. Guys you have been there for us when we had no clue what we expected from a website, you provided us with all resources needed for building own website and designs to suit us. Much appropriated team Afrihost, keep it up!!

Afrihost has been great from the start of Activating my service all the way through to setting up my router. Their staff is helpful and well trained to assist. Their feedback on open requests is impeccable. Moving over from Vodacom fibre to Afrihost has been the best move. Looking forward to having them as our ISP. Thank you Sihle, Eugene, Ompha and Buhle for your great service. Special thanks to Eugene for getting my line released by Vodacom and seeing the order through with all its difficulties.

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.
