Have been with Afrihost for a number of years now and even migrated with them to Fibre. They are very helpful and I would recommend using the Whatsapp support service as it works very well. We have had extremely little down time so their up time is excellent

Afrihost is a superb ISP. I highly recommend them to anyone. It is a pleasure to deal with them if you have a problem as they are helpful in problem solving and will escalate matters when required. You are not shunted from one department to another as is the norm in most businesses in SA today. Keep up the outstanding service Afrihost!

Had an issue with my internet connection, on a Sunday morning of all days, and the response from the Afrihost Whatsapp Support Service was immediate, professional and efficient. This was also the first time I had to log an issue after years of being an Afrihost client, and I was treated with respect and professionalism. Thank you for taking such good care of your customers and making us feel valued. Your service is excellent.

Just a quick note to say that I have been with Afrihost for a few years now. On the odd occasion when I have needed help with my wifi I have received excellent service. The consultants are polite and friendly and the technicians have been so patient and understanding. Keep up the great service Afrihost.

Ricky was absolutely amazing—fast, clear, and incredibly efficient. He gave me accurate, helpful information that got me unstuck and allowed me to complete my registration without any stress. This was hands down the best customer service experience I’ve ever had in my life!

It was a pleasure to be assisted by Gildo from Afrihost this morning over Whatsapp. He was very knowledgeable and patient and his messages were very courteous. Well done Afrihost for hiring the right people for the job!

No waiting for 40 mins on a call to eventually not have your issues solved like my previous isp. Afrihost whatsapp chat is easy to use and responses are quick. And calling in on the toll free line gets you connected to knowledgeable technical staff that actually understands tech jargon.

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
