Effective, efficient, dealing with them via WhatsApp chat so easy, love when they also send messages about outages and when it's restored. Highly recommend choosing Afrihost paired with Openserve.

Been a customer for years. It's an honest service. What you pay for is what you get, no hidden b.s. They don't cheat you with hidden costs or 'special offers' that screw you over, This stands out among S.A mobile data providers.

I've been with Afrihost for just over a year now and I've had no issues with them thus far. The one issue I had recently was resolved in minutes. I do recommend Afrihost as a service provider.

I had a problem with intermittent connection and speed, and when I contacted Afrihost and see I need to communicate via WhatsApp I thought this is going to be a disaster l, but it was totally the opposite, sufficient and they solved my problem without any headaches Athzr was the technical person that dealt with my problem and a big thumbs up to him, really friendly and he does not let you feel like an idiot seeing that not all of us is IT guru's, some of us is still a bit BC. Big thumbs up for Afrihost I would recommend them as a service provider any day. Good products, well priced and awesome service and support. Support is from 07:00 to 20:00. Really a convenient company to do business with.

I've been struggling with Webafrica for more than 2 weeks and I got told they can't pin my location on vumatels portal (make no mistake this was after reaching out to me on Facebook saying they will sort it out in 2-3 days )......I decided enough is enough and told them to cancel .....contacted afrihost and in 20 minutes process was completed and payment was made for the installation to take place. 20 minutes it took to resolve an issue plaguing me for 2 weeks.

Great, simple, efficient and affordable. Exactly what an SME business needs. I’d like to see them penetrate the informal market. The opportunity is there to be disruptive.

The advertised line speeds are a representation of the maximum possible throughput on that package. This speed is dependent on and varies from exchange to exchange as regulated by Openserve. In certain areas, some speeds are not achievable.
Due to Openserve infrastructure restrictions, some line speeds may not be available in your area. Check coverage in your area to see which packages are available in your area.

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.
