World Class Service. I applied telephonically - I was assisted by a courteous, patient & knowledgable Staff Member (Brian) who processed my Application flawlessly. Installers booked & arranged our Installation two days later. Congratulations Afrihost!

The agent was patient and always polite when getting back to me during my interaction via WhatsApp. I was assisted with my query and was asked to assist with any other queries. The agent was again patient advising how to resolve my query. I was also assisted as to how to make the payment on my app. Truly appreciate the customer service provided.

I have to place on record, I am over excited and satisfied with the impeccable service from afrihost and the after hours service is excellent, I have spoken to few consultants and said to them they must report my good rating to their manager's. I'm amazed, my order was delivered and installed and activated in a week. The installation and delivery process was quick. I have referred my neighbor to sign up with you guys and helped him with the signing up process on the online application. Please keep your standards high at all times, I must admit the afrihost App is user friendly and everything as a client we need to know is on it. Keep up the good service and I wish you guys well and many more signed on happy client's. 👍🙏😁

A very profient and reliable internet service provider. They're always just a WhatsApp message away, with experienced, skilled, patient and friendly staff to guide you on whatever your query may be. In a world where many companies don't prioritise after-sales care...Afrihost and their staff gets it spot on. Reliable, stable, internet connection, I've never had a problem since connected with Afrihost

My SIM card wasn't working, we ran through the diagnostics and although we couldn't resolve the problem, the operator didn't hesitate to escalate to their critical department. It's really a pleasure when you are treated with promptness. Well done on training your operators really well!!!

Very easy to contact. Fast efficient service and competitive pricing. Easy to check online on your account and to change services as well as upgrading or downgrading. Best ISP in my opinion as others dont ever get back to you when you try and contact them. Also brilliant deals available.

The offices are exceptional quality and the service is exceptional. Please give us better prices on the mobile data you guys used to be the ones with the best prices on all platforms.

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.
