I have not had a single day of problems with them. All my queries are resolved immediately and they stay in communication with you untill everything is resolved to your satisfaction. Highly recommend using them. Prices are also extremely competitive. Hands down best provider.

I have been an Afrihost client for many many years. Host many domains with them. Have had issues but with Afrihost they resolve them. They care. And fast. Even when I moved to Cape from JHB they assisted me with loan device to remain connected while i wait for fibre in my area and when I moved twice since they moved with me. You cannot go wrong with Afrihost.

We very seldom have any trouble at all with our internet feed, but when we do, Afihost's extremely efficient, easy to reach service centre offers the solution at the blink of an eye. I found Afrihost's whatsapp service incredibly helpful. Anyone looking for a fast reliable internet service provider, I recommend Afrihost.

I’m very happy with Afrihost’s service. I really appreciate how they personalise the Wi-Fi setup details, rather than just relying on the default router information. Their team responds promptly to customers and ensures that any issues are fully resolved before closing tickets. Great service all around!

Been a customer at afrihost since forever. Service excellence perfection. Never ever had any problems and their watsapp portal is so fast and professional. If a problems ever arise its always telkom and never afrihost. Always delightful talking to afrihost staff and answering questions professionally and always helpful and stay with you until your problem is resolved. Would recommend afrihost to everyone as in almost 10 years had zero negative experience. Well done afrihost.

My query was assigned to Shingirai, it was very frustrating and took over an hour. Shingi was super patient and professional. I was amazed at the outstanding level of customer service I received on a Saturday late afternoon, when their offices are supposedly closed. THANK YOU SHINGIRAI and Afrihost that your excellent customer service does not keep business hours!

Been with Afrihost for more than 20 years! From Dial-up to ISDN then ADSL and now Fibre! Never had connectivity other than National Internet outages. I've tried many ISP's. Afrihost is definatnevely the best. I have Pure Fibre and Pure Voip with Afrihost and while posting this review, my Pure Mobile Sim card is on the way and I know its gonna be worth waiting for another super product. Thank you Afrihost

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.
