I'm very happy with Afrihost. I've been using Afrihost for hosting my website and creating my domain. I'm new to the whole process and I've dealt with 6 or more Afrihost staff. They were always willing to help and assist with all my questions. They were all very friendly and didn't mind simplifying the terminology to make things easier to understand.

I have never had any issues with Afrihost and leave now only because I have moved to the UK. Recently I realised I was still paying for email and was helped quickly and efficiently on the WA line, even though I didn't have my original phone number to receive OTPs.

THE most friendly and profesional service I have ever received. Afrihost is in my books is the best service provider. From employees that know what they are talking about, and have patience with clients to answer all the 'dumb' questions, to the courier service they use. Keep it up Afrihost. Well done.

Afrihost on my phone is great! So easy to top up and the app works well. Afrihost for our home WiFi is shockingly bad. Extremely slow most of the time unfortunately

Afrihost has always been great. Now Vumatel part of it all and we still waiting for our WIFI to be relocated. Vumatel put in the cable and box but did not connect and ended up blowing another fibre line in the process.

Super amazing to deal with this company. Problems almost don't seem to be problems. Fixed my issue in a flash. Been a customer for almost 6 years and only had to contact them twice for help. Both times an amazing experience, problems sorted in a flash.

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.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.
