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.

In my recent interactions, Nombulelo exhibited a level of dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail that exceeded my expectations. Her commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction is truly commendable. Nombulelo’s positive attitude and exceptional service have undoubtedly contributed to a positive experience for me. I believe it is essential to acknowledge outstanding performance, and I wanted to ensure that Nombulelo’s efforts are recognized at the managerial level. Her exemplary service reflects positively on your team and contributes to the overall reputation of your department. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to continued positive interactions with your team.

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.

I had an excellent experience chatting with Nonjabulo. From the very beginning, Nonjabulo demonstrated a clear understanding of my needs and provided precise and helpful responses. The communication was smooth, efficient, and empathetic, making the entire process enjoyable. Nonjabulo's expertise and attentiveness made me feel valued and supported throughout our interaction. Thank you for the outstanding service!

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.

Kulie, Sakhile, Richard, Elvirna, Kate, Larry, Rhulani, Germaine and Thulanie to name but a few Afrihost support staff very friendly,helpful and professional 5 Star rating for them. Please note Elvirna has gone above and beyond the call of duty and I feel should be rewarded with a bonus for all her hard work.

Now this is 21st Century ISP! I am get pure Fibre, no shaping, no throttling, 30Mbps/30Mbps at R799, a super fast 3Gbps Wifi router for free and the application was all online within 5 minutes. No calls, no nonsense. Then for support they have an absolutely functioning whatsapp chat line with quality staff. I can say nothing bad about these guys.

I had a wonderful interaction with the afrihost support centre this evening although they could not immediately fix my problem. I'm looking forward to the feedback I was promised.

The assistance I received on whatsapp, was friendly and effecient. I would recommend Afrihost to my friends, colleagues and family. Thank you for also making me feel appreciated as a customer.

Thanks team. I think it would be a useful exercise to keep track of how customers have been helped. I had three very helpful agents try and test the same thing on my fibre line and each time the outcome was that it is a fibre issue and not anything related to AfriHost. It took up 2.5 hours of my time and it was unnecessary 🙏🏼

Afrihost is the one ISP that does not tie you to them with a long term contract. They even installed my fibre connection and gave me a wifi router free of charge and with absolutely no strings attached. They do however keep you tied to them by providing very good end-user support. There staff members are all knowledgeable, friendly and efficient in the manner in which they provide support.

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.
