Relocated my fibre package to my new residence and had no more than 4 hours downtime, mainly due to my own difficulties in linking the devices again. Support staff very quickly assisted with setups and all sorted. really good service.

I have dealt with many service providers before but Afrihost is on top of their game. Every time i go to their whatsapp chat im positive to get great service, all the agents i have dealt with are the best. Lesley M was just awesome, patiently took me step by step while setting up the router. Well done Afrihost, you make this sad life bearable 😃

I've been with Afrihost for years (they host my website) and recently with AirMobile. The time you really see their value is when you need support. They are always quick with support and very accurate. Support is also accessible via multiple channels like whatsapp, email and a phone call.

My SIM card wasn't working, we ran through the diagnostics and although we couldn't resolve the problem, the operator didn't hesitate to escalate to their critical department. It's really a pleasure when you are treated with promptness. Well done on training your operators really well!!!

Afrihost has been fantastic hosting my website. A few months ago I moved my internet from Telkom to Afrihost and it was the best decision I ever made. I know any issues will be sorted out right away. There's always someone to speak to and multiple ways to communicate.

Everything was explained so well. Person I chatted to was very patient with me. I'm not very clued up with this kind of technology and what is offered. I was told about whatever I wanted to know.

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.
