I've been with Afrihost for several years now, and I won't be changing from them any time soon. Their prices are at the lower end of the scale and their support is always superb.

I have used Afrihost in two properties. They have a good and reliable connection. The customer service is understanding and very helpful. Communication through WhatsApp has made it possible to provide them with pictures of the issue, which lead to a quick and helpful solution.

Been with Afrihost for years. I generally don't think of them as my connection just works. On the rare instance where I do need to reach out for help, they are always attentive, friendly, and provide very effective support.

This company is one of the very few companies still left in South Africa that are truly client-centric focused and have the proper working systems in place to ensure their clients experience that! Kudos to Afrihost for providing an outstanding service experience! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to meet my needs and deliver exceptional results in getting a second Fiber line installed. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction is truly commendable. Thank you, Afrihost, for setting the bar high and proving that excellent service is still possible. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and customer-oriented solutions. #HappyCustomer #GreatService

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
