Second time I'm logging a service request in as many days and I must say I am highly impressed with the speedy and efficient service provided, thank you George and Germaine

Afrihost is amazing, they reply immediately on WhatsApp, oh and I mean immediately, 30 seconds is too long. Their only flaw is Vuma, you know Vuma, the one that doesn't reply to client emails and requests. But Afrihost talks to them for you, you don't have to do anything 🤌🏽

The service I recieved from Afri Host and Lerato today, was outstanding. Lerato was professional, friendly, patient and kind with me over a protracted issue - I have been with Afri Host for almost three years and am a very happy customer ❤

Great service! I’m a sucker for excellent customer service, and every employee I interacted with was helpful and kind. From Lindokuhle, the agent who assisted me via WhatsApp, to James at the gate, the lady at the front desk (whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch), and Happy, the gentleman who assisted me at collections. Each one left a positive impression. I even told Happy how impressed I was with their service; it’s clear they’ve been trained well.

Love Afrihost, their service is unmatched. I accidentally migrated my fibre to the incorrect service provider and without any issues they assisted and corrected my mistake. I can see why they were voted best ISP service provider.

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.
