One of the best, if not THE best, ISPs in South Africa. After MWeb's horrible service and customer support, Afrihost is a breath of fresh air.

After four agonizing days without internet, Ayanda C was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment I reached out, she was professional, patient, and genuinely committed to solving my issue. What I appreciated most was how she stayed on top of things and saw the problem through to resolution, not just passing me along or leaving me with vague answers. Getting internet restored might sound like a small thing, but after four days of disconnection while working from home, it felt like the lights came back on. Ayanda made that happen, and she did it with warmth and efficiency that’s honestly rare in customer service. She’s the kind of support agent who reminds you that there are real people on the other side who actually care.

They always help with problems and network errors. This is one place where you don't have to wait for hours to get a consultant or technician to help fix your problem.

Network installation was done fast and professional. Keep using Quinton and collegue from Britelink - Vumatel, he is very polite and professional, minimum messing where they worked. Very clean installation. This is for an uptime sensitive business, so I will be glad to evaluate and comment in the near future. I am a new customer with Afrihost so service still to be seen. .

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.
