We moved from our previous provider and domain hosting company, and since the inception of our relationship with Afrihost, I have never experienced more wonderful service in my life! I think if I could get everyone to move to Afrihost I would definitely recommend it!

I believe Afrihost is the best internet provider. From setup to any issues, they provide the best customer service. All the staff I have dealt with are friendly and helpful. They also go out of their way to explain exactly what you need to do. It really is a pleasure having Afrihost as our internet provider.

I have never had any issues with Afrihost and leave now only because I have moved to the UK. Recently I realised I was still paying for email and was helped quickly and efficiently on the WA line, even though I didn't have my original phone number to receive OTPs.

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. .

I’ve been with Afrihost for many years and the support you get is unrivalled. I don’t think an offering from any other provider could get me to switch.

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
