Afrihost has a WhatsApp chat, that assist with faults. I found this chat helpful. The person assisting was patient, helpful, understanding, and knowledgeable. This makes the process to get faults reported very easy.

I was experiencing a connection issue with one of my fibre lines and Andile N sorted me out quickly and effectively - on Whatsapp, after hours. I've been with Afrihost for years and have mostly had good experiences and customer service.

Always a pleasure in dealing with Afrihost. They make connecting to the internet easy, even for people that don't know what wifi is. And the best part is that you can request a call me back or chat via WhatsApp. Also the fibre is fast and reliable. I don't know if there's any need to look any further.

As a new business I decided to use Afrihost as my website service provider, I however made the mistake not to order the correct package, Thulani assisted me on whatsapp and it did not even take 10 minutes to correct the mistake I made. I am so impressed, such customer service deserves more than just 5 stars.

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.
