Afrihost always impress with their prompt responses and knowledgeable staff. They are always friendly, listen to the request and ask questions before offering a solution. Their whatsapp chat is very convenient! Have been a happy client for nearly a decade!

The team was so quick to assist and soon as you log a call they did not waste time, they came back to me and soon as the chat end cause of my delayed reply, someone from their team quickly takes over the chat and continue to assist. Happy with Afrihost.

Afrihost renders excellent client services throughout. They respond quickly when you request assistance. Their interactions are friendly, kind, understanding, and professional throughout the process. I placed an order on Monday and today (Wednesday) at 12 pm, I received the product and was sorted. I am glad I changed to Afrihost as my ISP. I can really recommend them.

The support is so much better than the awful "service" offered by their competitor that starts with Voda and ends with com. Let's see how the bandwidth is when I move!

I've never had to call or send an email. I get swift, adequate assistance on WhatsApp. They are very helpful. I visited their office in Joburg to collect my router. Ordered it via WhatsApp in the morning and got it same day. Their office is nice, ambience was lovely. I was in and out in 15mins. I also received assistance via WhatsApp to login and connect my router. I used to use Mweb for over 10years and Afrihost is so much better customer service wise and has more affordable packages. I really hope they maintain this quality of service.

Awesome service as always, sad that I left you guys when the copper lines were stolen on my ADSL connection. I shouldve been with you guys from the inception of Fibre. Finally I've had enough with subpar customer service and im coming home. Afrihost is simply unrivaled

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.
