I've been considering moving over to fibre, and naturally I tried various ISPs of which I encountered a technical issue and received no favorable help, told that it just means that I don't have coverage and it was just left at that. No resolve. I tried Afrihost eventually, encountered the same technical issue and instead of sending me away or killing my spirit - 2 agents helped me. The first Agent (Reabetswe M) logged the ticket of my issue to relevant departments. The second Agent (Hopewell M) tracked my case and gave me an update instantly. She rectified misunderstandings and had my order processed immediately. I am beyond grateful for their contributions to my resolve. Sincerely, A very happy Afrihost customer 😊

After months of hell with WebAfrica, I made the change over to Afrihost. What a wonderful experience it has been. I’ll never use another ISP again! 5* customer service and issues are solved almost immediately. Couldn’t ask for more! Thank you Afrihost for leading the way.

Doing what another ISP couldn’t get done! After 6 weeks of zero communication & no fibre installation with RSAWeb, Afrihost had us setup & installed, communicating the entire time. Their WhatsApp chat like is fantastic too. Thank you so much!

I have been with Afrihost on and off for many years. My website has been hosted by them since 2010. I have left them as my internet provider once or twice but always go back. I am now back for good! They ARE the BEST!!

Afrihost has been the best ISP I've been with. I've been their client for around 6 years and I've been happy all that time. Great service and prompt response

I was upgraded to a higher download speed in April 2020 and have been struggling to get assistance as to why I wasn't getting those speeds. After many consultants and many help requests, finally Anrich v. assisted me and resolved my issue without hesitation on New Years day of all days. I am very grateful for this specific operator for taking time out of his New Years day plans to assist with and resolve my issue. Many thanks to you Anrich, Happy new year and may you have a blessed year ahead!

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.
