Been with these guys since about 2013 and I have never looked back. Just dealt with a dude on a Sunday who was available and assisted me to the best of his ability.

Must just commend Afrihost on their incredible service. Had another need this morning that was beyond my DIY ability and as always they guided me to solve the issues. Thanks Veronique! Happy to do the amount of business I do, with Afrihost! The Best!

Their WhatsApp customer service is fast and efficient. Their tech guys are super helpful and patient, asking for clarity when they're not clear on your issue. That's a definite win for me.

I've been a customer of Afrihost for almost three years and they always give good service. Friendly staff and a very stable fiber connection. I barely have issues. I did buy a UPS two weeks ago and it was faulty I had to return it. They tried to fix it but it wouldn't work and they gladly gave me a brand new UPS.

Great company. Customer Service is next level. I have been a client of theirs since 2016, and I love dealing with them. Minimum down time and if it is down, it is resolved very quickly.

Thank you Afrihost for assisting me after hours via your Whatsapp Chat line. As a Virtual Assistant we need to have people like yourself at our fingertips and it was really comforting to know that I could still be attended to even if it meant chatting to someone online. This is what i call Value Added service!!

(Translated by Google) When you experience a problem that is extremely rare, Afrihost helps you lightning fast. Afrihost's technical experience is very good which is extremely important. Afrihost is always very friendly and communication is extremely easy. Afrihost definitely cares which means a lot to me. Thank you for your excellent service in a country where things are no longer as good as they could be. (Original) Wanneer Jy n probleem ervaar wat bitter min is, help Afrihost mens blitsig vinnig. Afrihost se tegniese ondervinding is baie goed wat uiters belangrik is. Afrihost is altyd baie vriendelik en komminikasie is uiters maklik. Afrihost gee beslus om wat baie beten vir my. Dankie vir Julle uitstekende diens in n land waar dinge nie meer so goed is as wat dit kan wees nie.

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

Afrihost was so helpful via our WhatsApp call. I was so appreciative. They sorted out our issue patiently until we were completely satisfied.

A lot of ISPs are at the mercy of Fiber providers, most I would guess. AfriHost’s WhatsApp support makes it way more bearable when you are faced with delays from the Fiber provider. Thanks to Refentse M for the great support!

Afrihost is easy to use, affordable, and getting assistance when needed is easily accessible. Their support team is also very professional, well-trained and offer clear instructions and answers to any request. Highly recommended!

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.
