Afrihost renders excellent client services throughout. They respond quickly when you request assistance. Their interactions are friendly, kind, understanding, and professional throughout the process. I placed an order on Monday and today (Wednesday) at 12 pm, I received the product and was sorted. I am glad I changed to Afrihost as my ISP. I can really recommend them.

I think we often give reviews for negative things and while it's great to help others who want to know about a company or service, it is good to acknowledge great service. I have been with Afrihost for close to 5 years now and I am extremely happy with their service. They give excellent service honestly and are the best in the business. It's always prompt and efficient service and friendly chat agents on the WhatsApp service. Even when they do not have an immediate solution, they always keep you in the loop. Big ups to them.

Amazing Afrihost with the whatsapp contact centre which allows you to always be in touch but not have to hold on for long. I can now log an issue during work time and not sit on the phone. Your operators are super helpful and efficient. It truly is a pleasure dealing with you guys. A special mention to Enoch in finance and Sakhile who helped me tirelessly to get up and running. You guys are leaders in customer service

Afrihost has been my service provider since fibre was installed in my area 2 years' ago. They are rarely down and are very quick to assist when I have had the odd connectivity issue. They have excellent after sales tech support. I've had no issues updated domain information or getting assistance with my website that they host. Highly recommend Afrihost.

Excellent service because they keep good engineers. I logged a call for an issue, it was handled extremely professionally. The engineer fully understood everything and took ownership of the problem. This company is definitely going to go from strength to strength with this level of people within its ranks. 5 Stars to them.

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.

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.
