All the ISP's have a similar price, but with Afrihost you always get knowledgeable answers and I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to get a reply. They also have an awesome WhatsApp help line.

WhatsApp communication is unlike any other service provider I've experienced. Their Wi-Fi is fast, and the installation was smooth. I ordered mine over the holidays, and they installed it in 3 days. I highly recommend. Thank you Afrihost.

Been with Afrihost for 10 years already. Reason why they are the best is the support you can get from them call me back and within 10min I get a call back. There are other cheaper options but not worth it because of lack of support afrihost is top tier

Afrihost has been around for sometime now, before wifi became fashionable. The agents are quite knowlegeable and patient. Very good service from Afrihost

Maybe the best service provider in South Africa possibly the world. Any issues that I've faced have been resolved in a timely manner even as far as during early mornings (2am). They are always friendly and put you first. They offer total control over your account and subscription allowing you to upgrade and downgrade as your wallet allows. I recommend them to anyone that is in need of fast internet and service.

Service is always really good and they've proven reliable over the last 2 years. My only issue is that their phone lines don't work on holidays and weekends. They do have a very helpful WhatsApp help centre that's available daily, but it also has shorter hours on weekends and holidays. So if you have an issue on a holiday, depending on the time, you might have to sit tight until normal business hours

Good Internet service provider with excellent customer support. I have not regretted my choice singing switching to Afrihost over a decade ago.

I moved from Rain to Afrihost and I don't regret it. Am getting the speeds am paying for and their Whatsapp help desk is user friendly and efficient.

I’m extremely happy with Afrihost. When I first moved to Vaalpark, I had tried a few ISPs to only be disappointed. Until a friend of mine recommended Afrihost. I moved over to them and haven’t regretted it a single day. They gave me everything I needed in an ISP. No speed reduction in the evenings. And honestly the best value for money. And special offers for being a loyal customer.

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.
