I refuse to use anyone else for internet. I have always had the best service you can possibly get! Even the people that are installing the lines go above and beyond to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Don't bother with anyone else

Well managed and helpful. Migration of LTE from Cell C to Telkom was seamless but Telkom's inability to provide live data usage updates is a nuisance. I've subsequently been given a way of getting live usage updates via Huawei, which works very well.

No ISP is perfect, but I've enjoyed good service from Afrihost for years and it seems to me they genuinely seek out continual improvement and I appreciate that.

I’ve moved homes several times, and getting fibre up and running has always been a headache. It usually took more than a week, and I never once had it working on the same day I moved in. This time, with Afrihost and Openserve, the experience was completely different. Afrihost kept me in constant communication with regular updates, so I always knew what was happening. On the actual moving day, there was even a missing cable — and they had a technical agent on-site within 2 hours to fix it! I was honestly blown away. Everything was running smoothly the same day I moved in. Their service, reliability, and responsiveness truly set them apart. Afrihost is hands down the best ISP in South Africa.

Fantastically helpful, the rare moment when there are any tech issues the communication is always immediate and all is resolved at speedy turnarounds. Stable and fast internet, fantastic app for checking usage and easy mobile service provider update plus now even an e sim. Amazing all round. Thank you Afrihost

I absolutely love Afrihost, by far the best internet provider I have ever dealt with. So easy to get in touch with them with a click of a message from WhatsApp. If you ever want a internet provider that can assist you when you need it most, contact Afrihost, they get the job done!

We moved our fiber to Afrihost. Put order in on 31/03/2024 which is the day our previous ISP ended. Waited until after public holiday and on 02/04/2024 the new line was requested, approved and activated. The new router is on its way but we are already online with our old router. Amazing service, great app and super fast internet. We are very happy.

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.
