Have been using them for over 10 years now. Had a few issues along the way but they were always able to sort it out quickly and have always been available to assist. Would definitely recommend them.

Afihost customer feedback and products has always been quick and helpful. It is worth to pay a bit extra for excellent products and customer assistance.

Had a less than ideal experience with someone from support because they immediately thought they were addressing my issue instead of listening. I then called back and was met with someone else who took the time to ask questions 1st to fully understand the issue before working on the solution and hence knocking it out of the park.

Afrihost is the only Internet service provider that responsd in reasonable time and has been able to resolve my issue in spite of many difficulties. Everyone else was one big frustration.

I chatted on WhatsApp with a gent called Ethan. He was brilliant, patient and understood exactly what I needed. My sister trusted them, and I do too. I recommend the professional service to anyone and everyone looking for LTE or uncapped solutions. I spoke to Steph M and again, a repeat of amazing service. Thanks so much.

Thank you Afrihost for assisting me after hours via your Whatsapp Chat line. As a Virtual Assistant we need to have people like yourself at our fingertips and it was really comforting to know that I could still be attended to even if it meant chatting to someone online. This is what i call Value Added service!!

All the ISP's have a similar price, but with Afrihost you always get knowledgeable answers and I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to get a reply. They also have an awesome WhatsApp help line.

Afrihost is by far the best service provider in South Africa, cost effective and no frills service. Very fast resolution to the issues if any.

Great customer service with exceptionally easy upgrade, relocation and migration processes. The app is also pleasant to use. I've never had a contract issue or serious functionality problem since getting fibre with Afrihost several years ago. They communicate when there are minor issues and they resolve them quickly. Also, the contract prices are very good.

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.
