Afrihost is an amazing service provider, unlike other providers they get your complaints started with immediately you contact them and ensure they assist you in the best way possible or refer and get technicians allocated to you if it's a technical fault. I don't regret using your services

I recently moved from Cape Town to George. Without good internet I'm screwed. After 2 internet disasters with 2 of South Africa's leading ISP's, mainly due to incompetence and lies from staff regarding what their company offers plus another with a satellite company, my sister finally recommended Afrihost. I will be honest, I had no hope that they could help me. I am on a LTE package with Afrihost. The speed is incredible; literally fibre speed in a SIM connection - greatly doing what other companies either promised or said was not possible. Today I was assisted by Prince via their convenient WhatsApp chat line - same as his colleagues, he was quick, efficient and kind, Adrian Nelson

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.
