Absolutely the best ISP by Far! Being able to msg on WhatsApp, and the person your chatting to actually fixes the problem or passes it on to another department without any delay, is just superb. Thanks Afrihost!

I needed to change my password and upgrade my network and it took less then 5 minutes and everything was dealt within a very professional manner, thank you for this experience

So far out of all the ISP providers I have used, I recommend Afrihost solely for their communication. It is generally so difficult to get something sorted or get ahold of someone but never had a problem here. Within 5 minutes I have my answers on a Whatsapp chat which to me is really convenient. Never had a problem with my speed or connection either. Highly recommend.

I had a really positive experience with Afrihost. It was easy to get in touch with them, especially via WhatsApp, which made the whole process quick and convenient. What stood out to me most was that I was able to speak to a real person - Siphesihle N who actually listened and understood my situation. I felt heard, held and supported throughout the interaction. Great service overall — I would definitely rate them 5 stars

Their whatsapp customer care line is great. Skhumbuzo and Tutu have helped me before and they were on top of their game. Thank you so much for a great service

You haven't experienced great customer service until you spoke with an Afrihost agent. It's always such a breeze setting up wifi/ re locating wifi. Great company, great staff. 10/10

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.
