Have always had amazing experiences with Afrihost. Though I would warn those trying to start up with Vumatel did take a frustratingly long time (this was 2020)

Great customer service experience I have received by Tumelo(technical dept) he went over and above to assist me even after his shift. That young man kept to his word when he said he needs to leave but will give me a call once he gets home and thats what he did,a man of his word. Well done young man for your excellent service you have provided me keep it up. My over all experience that I have received by other consultants that I was in contact with regarding my request was extremely helpful and I will definitely recommend Afrihost to family and friends for there willingness to assist and great customer service.

Siphiwe was friendly, helpful and very informative. Because of your attentive customer service team. I’ve joined right on the spot. No wonder Afrihost has such a high positive rating. Highly recommend. Sincerely, George

I have been a Afrihost customer since 2009. The best ISP I have ever been in partnership with. Whenever I move from province to province I always give them the first choice to provide us with the best internet services. Very happy with the support structure and the prices are reasonable.

Kulie, Sakhile, Richard, Elvirna, Kate, Larry, Rhulani, Germaine and Thulanie to name but a few Afrihost support staff very friendly,helpful and professional 5 Star rating for them. Please note Elvirna has gone above and beyond the call of duty and I feel should be rewarded with a bonus for all her hard work.

Been without internet for 2 days with a teenager in the house, is an absolute nightmare! Contacted Afrihost, I initially thought it was an outage, but the issue was with the router. In a couple of minutes I was guided by Nombulelo M, how to hard reset the router, the settings was fixed and the internet is up and running! Thank you for making this process so easy. Excellent Service!

Never had issues with them. On the occasional time when lines were down, they were handled very quickly. Their customer web portal is first-class.

The whatsapp service is the best most efficient way of getting through and communicating with them. And they are so caring and quick to respond

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.
