Apelele went above and beyond to provide me with the best service from Afrihost, ensuring my service was restored and even logging a request with MTN to identify and resolve the root cause. This is the first time I've received such exceptional service from Afrihost.

Afrihost has been fantastic hosting my website. A few months ago I moved my internet from Telkom to Afrihost and it was the best decision I ever made. I know any issues will be sorted out right away. There's always someone to speak to and multiple ways to communicate.

Easy to use their website to find exactly what I needed and all details were clear to read and understand. There is a WhatsApp chat feature if you need clarification on anything to speak to a person in real-time. I found it stress-free and fairly quick.

For how Iong i dreamt of having my own wifi. I tried getting wifi by 2 companies (Telkom was one) and both turned me down. Afrihost assisted me plus by sending my router before i payd it. They were patient with payments and still friendly. And till today they still help with good and friendly service. For the price and service they give i give 10 stars. If it was not for them, i still would not have wifi. I love u guys!! Keep up the good work!!!

I contacted Afrihost on WhatsApp and I was assisted by Neo M, I was bit confused about my order; he clarified everything, took me through all the steps. Afrihost doesn't only offer best services but hires passionate individuals. I'm happy with Afrihost 😎🤗.

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.
