Got great service today on 25 August 2020 from Timothy from the fiber department. He took my number and called me back as he promised and gave me feedback about my request. Have been with Afrihost for a few years now and they are one of the best service providers you will find in SA. Again thanks to Timothy who provided outstanding customer support.

Afrihost is seriously on top of their game with their service. They use whatsapp as a source of communication with any queries you might have. They assist led me within minutes and they are very sharp!

I was with Afrihost many years ago using ADSL and was very happy with the service back then. I have now decided to move back connecting via Fibre and am sure I will receive the best service. In fact I already received great guidance on what to do on the Whatsapp line. Thank you Afrihose

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.

I've used afrihost as my isp for the better part of 16 years,all I can say is, if you're not with them, don't ask why, just move to them! You will not get better support anywhere else.

I have been a life long customer of Afrihost. Amazing deals are what first got me to sign up, however the exceptional service I have received by them over the years is what has kept me using their services.

90% of the time I am very happy with Afrihost. Now-and-then (load shedding problems?) I experience some slowdown, but mostly very happy with them.

Have always been impressed with service from Afrihost. After almost 2 decades I'm sad to cancel service. If I can in the future I'll happily reinstate.

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.
