Since I joined Afrihost 3 years ago I just had the joy of experiencing good service from them - they go out of their way to help their clients to their clients needs

Have been with Afrihost for years, left once for slightly better pricing and was back less than 24 hours later. Customer service queries are always sorted quickly and with the least amount of fuss possible.

I have dealt with many service providers before but Afrihost is on top of their game. Every time i go to their whatsapp chat im positive to get great service, all the agents i have dealt with are the best. Lesley M was just awesome, patiently took me step by step while setting up the router. Well done Afrihost, you make this sad life bearable 😃

Afrihost is one of the better ISP's and very customer orientated. Being using different services with them over many years, LTE, hosting, Fibre, etc. and never had a challenge that they could not resolve professionally and speedily. I would highly recommend them..

After the SHOCKING customer service I’ve experienced with ISPs recently, Afrihost is honestly a breath of fresh air! Helpful and friendly staff and easily accessible assistance really set them apart.

Been a customer for years. It's an honest service. What you pay for is what you get, no hidden b.s. They don't cheat you with hidden costs or 'special offers' that screw you over, This stands out among S.A mobile data providers.

I've just moved from another isp to afrihost. So far so good. Hopefully, I don't have to change the rating in the future. Love the support as they make you feel like you are the number 1 priotory.

Afrihost is my "go to" service provider cos their online portal is "user friendly" and so are their staff 😉. They are quick to sort out issues if you have any.

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.

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.
