Don’t waste your time with any other service provider. I have been using Afrihost for over a year now and have never experienced an issue that wasn’t resolved within the hour that I reported it. Great service.

Fantastic internet (fibre and mobile). Good data prices. Brilliant customer support. I especially like the WhatsApp option so I don't have to talk on the phone.

The best ISP. I used them in jnb before moving to George and I will use them again when fibre hits my home! Using them for mobile data at the moment. They are super efficient and the support is phenomenal.

I'm really happy with the service I get from Afrihost. Have been using them for about 8 years now and would recommend them to anyone. I specifically like how user-friendly their platform is and also how there's always someone to assist when I'm stuck

Hate having domain issues but thankfully they are few and far between. It’s a pleasure to have the what’s app line that gets us the assistance needed. It’s quick, it’s easy and it’s friendly. Thanks 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.

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.
