Afrihost has the best customer service. I've never waited long when needing assistance in sorting out a problem. The agents are friendly and very helpful. This is the happiest I've been with a fiber service provider.

Honestly, everytime I contact Afrihost for assistance, they are quick and effecient. I've dealt with soo many ISPs and this one is by far the best. I will not move without knowing if they can provide services at my new place! A 5* from me!

I have been with Afrihost for more than 5 years. Their customer focus is unmatched. In 2020 I transferred one of my domains away from Afrihost to another service provider. Within a few months I regretted leaving Afrihost. The customer service at this new service provider was very poor, sometimes it would take a day for them to respond to queries and the only channel to lodge a query was through email. Granted, their hosting package that I wanted was a bit cheaper by about R100. I soon learned that with some services you get what you pay for. I made a decision to transfer my domain back to Afrihost for great quality of service and I'm not trusting anyone with my webhosting needs for now. Afrihost are my go to guys, where I know that issues are attended to speedily. Keep up the great service guys!

My fibre line and domain services are both through Afrihost. I additionally manage my clients domains through Afrihost, and I have never been disappointed with their service. They are always so helpful with issues, which are rare and very quick and getting things sorted. Well done guys!

I have been a client since July 2021 on webhosting and in January 2022 I appointed them as my ISP. I work online and it ia crucial for my business that I have a stable internet connection. They also assisted me when I relocated my premises and I experienced no downtime with the relocation. The call centre staff are always quick to reapond and extremly helpful on all my queries.

Whatsapp support are very helpful and efficient. Still waiting to be using the fibre efficiently but as long as that works well the experience has been vastly better than with Adept who I was with previously.

Afrihost got my internet running after normal working hours. The support was professional and patient with stepwise problem solving. This allowed getting my Fibre up and running before the process of installation had been registered.

It's a great service provider. Every time I have a query, I quickly send a what's app. They normally reply with an automated message saying they are extremely busy, but they have always reply within a minute after a send a message. And they always help you.... Excellent service. Keep it up.

Fully signed up and package handed over to courier for delivery, all within 3 hours from my initial request. Best ISP by far when it comes to customer service! Keep it up.

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.

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.
