Been with Afrihost for years. Had an issue with e-mail delivery and the Whatsapp webchat support was right on it. Sorted in 10 minutes, efficiently and politely. What's not to like about that?

We have made our losses with MWeb. Just started the process with Afrihost and we are amazed!! The customer service is great and get a response within a minute, MWeb is touch and go with hours of waiting periods. Phone MWebs customer care service it takes hours, but their sales department is on point, they’ll sell you something so you stuck and then you’re no longer a priority to them

Chatting to a consultant was an absolute bliss. Richard assisted me very efficiently and he managed to get my issue resolved in a couple of minutes. Happy that you introduced the Whatsapp chat as a mode of communication with customers. Service at your fingertips.

Always professional no matter how frustrated or upset I am. Always finds the answer if they don't have it or take up the issue and resolve it for you. Customer service is always great and by actual human beings not something automated.

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.

General questions

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.
