I've been with Afrihost for 4 years, and their customer service and response times are excellent! Staff are well-trained and friendly. Highly recommend for web hosting and fixed wireless!

No waiting for 40 mins on a call to eventually not have your issues solved like my previous isp. Afrihost whatsapp chat is easy to use and responses are quick. And calling in on the toll free line gets you connected to knowledgeable technical staff that actually understands tech jargon.

I would recommend using Afrihost as I found them to be as advertised, pure internet joy. We moved recently and the transition was seamless and was up and running in no time. My family and I appreciated it.

One thing I've come to know about Afrihost is that their staff has been efficient in dealing with most of my issues and even when they don't solve the problem right there and then, I still get quite the experience dealing with them.

Afrihost! What can I say? Support above and beyond! I have been dealing with them since 2H 2018 when I joined them to host my website. I developed and set up my website myself. I mostly Googled what to do. When I got stuck their support people gave me advice. Not their job or responsibility! Yet they are there when help is needed. Just this week, I got stuck setting up my email account on my new Laptop. Again! Not their responsibility, yet I have been helped! I am on Afrihost fibre service as well for about 5 months now (2022). Had an Internet problem this morning which was not on their side. Yet, their support stuck with me, and helped me to get it sorted. Judging by comments on social media, and from experience with my previous Internet service provider, I can only imagine the response from other service providers. "All is OK on our side sir". ie Sort out your own bloody problem. Not with Afrihost! Their support is what truly sets them apart from other service providers!

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.
