Love working with Afrihost! Always efficient, professional and quick to assist where necessary. Never had any issues, and if a small glitch happens they are all over it and sorting it in no time. Thank you Afrihost!

Call lines are busy, but the assistance in WhatsApp more than makes up for that and is far cheaper to boot. 10/10 assistance once communication was established.

Fantastic service ethos. Love their WhatsApp chat service offering, which is very user friendly. Not a customer directly, but will recommend then on the experience I had with them.

Thank you Afrihost for assisting me after hours via your Whatsapp Chat line. As a Virtual Assistant we need to have people like yourself at our fingertips and it was really comforting to know that I could still be attended to even if it meant chatting to someone online. This is what i call Value Added service!!

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.
