Only reason for not 5 stars is that I think the responses could come a bit quicker, but I do understand that Whatsapp help is still in beta and that staff is probably inundated and responding to several chats at once ... Oh what the hell, have five stars for Asaph! ;)

Thorough, patient, on time, each encounter has been great even when asking what may seem obvious to some people, I appreciated the patience in understanding what was needed and speedy assistance.

I have on several occasions used Afrihost for fibre connectivity and they are quick and efficient and no holding on in callcentre queues, simply contact them on whatsapp or self service on their app CS Zone which is really easy to navigate.

I have been with Afrihost for roughly 6 years and I don't think any other network can compete in terms of value adds and stellar customer service provided to me as a customer. Bravo Afrihost, may our relationship continue for many more years, thanks!

It was such an easy and clear process to open an account with Afrihost as SP. I believe we are going to have a good provider and client relationship.

So far, I am super impressed with the professional service which is fast and keeps the client in the loop at all times. They responded immediately to a query.

I know a lot of people will have bad things to say about Afrihost. My personal experience with them so far has been mostly positive. They are always friendly and understanding and resolve my queries in no time. The informative mail we get from the CEO makes me feel valued and not just another number. Keep it up Afrihost, you guys are Rockstars!

Quick whatsap responses - usually able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue - but sadly today wasn’t a router issue but an a dual line issue which has to be routed to the vumatel provider to investigate and correct

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.
