Afrihost is always an absolute pleasure to deal with. The WhatsApp chat makes it work seamlessly because I don't have to juggle things with a phone at my ear.

I’ve been with Afrihost for close to 7 years now. Great service provider. Easy to reach with prompt responses. Reliable and affordable packages. No hoops to jump through just easy setup with a short notice period when stopping subscriptions and easy reconnect when you’re ready to start up where you left off.

Can't believe the service: On a Sunday afternoon 3 people (Mpho, Wilfred, Gopika & Themba) helped me reinstate & transfer an urgent domain (entire brand depending on it) - using 3 different channels (ticket, whatsapp help & email - all 3 channels worked well). Huge thanks to Afrihost for fast & reliable service when it mattered. Very impressed, thank you!

The online system is very convenient and works very well. I also used the WhatsApp chat line where I received prompt responses and assistance.

What an experience! I decide to collect my router myself as I was too excited to wait for delivery. As soon as I entered the building, I felt this vibe of happiness and excitement. I couldn't help but notice the beautiful break/lunch area set out for the employees. The representative who assisted me (unfortunately his name was to long to remember) was extremely helpful, friendly and made me feel right at home. Thank you Afrihost for the great experience today and for looking after your employees so well!

5 stars for Ryan at Afrihost Ryan went above and beyond to sort my issue quickly and clearly. Patient, knowledgeable, and actually made tech support pleasant. Afrihost is lucky to have him.

Went online yesterday on a hunch looking for fibre. Afrihost popped up I took a chance and so glad I did. We were kept informed throughout the day. Installation was done today by OpenServe Nelspruit. Technician was super nice and so fast. Just waiting for the rooter but damn so impressed with the service so far. I think this was the fastest service I have received in a long time. Will recommend!!

Best customer service of all time. May bot always have the best deal. But I would choose quality customer service over anything. Their WhatsApp chat makes it so easy to get help efficiently.

Friendly and helpful attitude on the WhatsApp helpline. Took a bit of time and several restarts of my router and ONT unit but got sorted with reasonable ease. Afrihost is certainly focused on service. Grateful to be able to rely on them.

We've been with Afrihost for over a year now and the service is fantastic. We've only had problems twice and both times they were solved within a few minutes. Internet quality and service is exceptional. Two thumbs up.

Had a great experience with Kgothatso, her prompt response and her sense of humor was amazing. She basically assisted me with my problem on WhatsApp and made me laugh 😃. Because of her customer service I would strongly recommend Afrihost to anyone.

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.
