I have been with Afrihost now for more than 5 years and their service is still exceptional. The client portal where I can manage everything myself is great and if I need to talk to someone, the support staff is friendly and fast in resolving any issues. I have openly recommended Afrihost to many and will continue to do so. Thanks Afrihost, for providing an excellent service.

Always a WhatsApp away and always determined to help me! I am certainly not tech savvy but Afrihost ALWAYS gets to the bottom of my VERY FEW issues. Usually my own fumble with cables 😂

I had an excellent experience with Afrihost during my recent relocation. Getting WiFi activated can often be a stressful process, but this was the complete opposite thanks to their amazing service. A special thank you to Leonard, who assisted me throughout, he was absolutely wonderful! Friendly, patient, and incredibly efficient, he made sure everything was set up smoothly and without any delays. His communication was clear, and he went the extra mile to ensure I was up and running as quickly as possible. It’s rare to receive this level of service, and it truly made a big difference during my move. Afrihost has an outstanding team, and Leonard is a true asset to the company

Afrihost has never failed me thus far, I have been with other ISP that may have provided cheaper rates but the support and service was equally as cheap. I don't mind paying for the quality I receive with this team. I believe that the future of ISP is Afrihost without doubt.

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.
