Afrihost has always delivered an awesome service. Delivers order on time, good service on a monthly basis and also good customer care. In being with them for on and off 6 to 7 years the service etc never changed. Well done

Great customer service! You can't expect any ISP to be perfect, there'll always be technical issues of some sort. But Afrihost handles these issues the best out of any ISP I've ever dealt with

The WhatsApp assistance team is excellent! So much easier when one can send screenshots of the actual issue instead of explaining via a phone call.

Been with Afrihost for 6 years - exceptionally pleased. Uptime > > 99% bar one incident of intermittent drop-outs caused by my fibre equipment had become outdated - got routed to Vuma who replaced expeditiously Maybe not the cheapest but if you need / want reliable hassle free internet this is the way to go

After a long afternoon trying to resolve my problem it would seem that the problem is with the Rain network and not Afrihost. Very grateful for the help and patience of Sasha.

My query was sorted in such a professional manner. The agent was so helpful and stayed on line with me till I was satisfied that all was well. Thank you so much. The what's app line is such a breathe of fresh air, no waiting for someone to respond to an email, in 2 to 4 days.

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.
