From the get go, Afrihost has been nothing short of prompt and professional! Certain ISP (RAIN) could certainly take lesson or 2 from your book - no, make that a whole novel! Thank you, Afrihost.

After being with 2 x HORRIBLE ISPs.... Afrihost has been a breath of fresh air. From the order process, to the easiest and quickest installation EVER... This is what service is and the rest of SA should take notes. Keep up the good work guys!

Very seldom have any issues with Afrihost as our domain host and when we do have a problem or question, it is quickly sorted out. Much appreciated.

Installation was on time, neatly done and connection activated with no troubles. Thank you Afrihost. Moving to a new installation address soon, let's hope the infrastructure provider is as switched on as Afrihost ISP services :-) One year later, Afrihost significantly upgraded the speed on more than one occasion, while keeping the cost the same. Service requests were attended to promptly and easily - the WhatsApp chat service channel is a winner! Very effective, and much more convenient than holding the line and burning airtime. Still a happy customer!

(Translated by Google) We have been customers at Afrihost for +- 15 years. Had very few problems with their service. If there were interruptions, they were very helpful in resolving them. Usually did more to help than was expected of them. Definitely recommend them! (Original) Ons is al +- 15 jaar kliënte by Afrihost. Baie min probleme met hul diens gehad. Indien daar onderbrekings was, was hul baie behulpsaam om dit op te los. Het gewoonlik meer gedoen om te help as wat van hul verwag kon word. Beveel hul beslis aan!

Recommend. Signed up with afrihost and had my intenet up and running in less then 5 working days. After being stuck with no internet for over 2 weeks due to previous provider issues, this was such a huge help and relief

Got my Fibre connection sorted out through Afrihost and OpenServe pretty quickly and effortlessly. Service was great from both parties with the OpenServe technician (Godfrey) even wanting to bring his personal petrol generator in order to get the connection sorted out during loadshedding! :-D Now THAT's service! Update on the 24th Aug 2023 - Cancelled my fibre as I moved out of my place, moved back in after 3 months and reactivated - took less than 6 hours to get back up again! Amazing service yet again thank you Afrihost!

I've been with Afrihost since 2017 and I have no complaints. Excellent service and I like the fact that there's no contracts to tie you down.

Short description, my fiber line was moved from my old location to a new premises. Working with huge amounts of data I've notice slow speeds and did a speed test. The line was underperforming and I contacted my provide, Afrihost. I was assisted via the whatsapp line by Nhlakanipho who was super helpful and assisted promptly. From Afrihost side all was in order and a ticket was logged with the last mile provider to re-provision my line with the correct line speed. Thank you very much for the prompt assistance and support Nhlakanipho, it's much appreciated. Great JOB!

Need help?

Getting started with Pure DSL

How is Pure DSL different from other DSL products?

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!

How to get connected to Pure DSL

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

How long will it take to get connected?

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

How to check if you have Pure DSL coverage in your area

Use our Coverage Tool to check if DSL is available in your area.

Will all line speeds be available in covered areas?

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 you do not have Pure DSL coverage 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

Are your DSL packages shaped?

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

Is the price of the DSL line included in the package price?

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.

Will I have to pay a setup fee?

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

Do I need a copper line to use Pure DSL?

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

I do not have a copper line, can I get one installed?

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.

Can I use my current DSL modem?

Yes, you can use any DSL-ready Wi-Fi modem with Pure DSL. Need a new modem? Check out our DSL Modems and Wi-Fi page for more information.

Will my Pure DSL package be locked to a single location?

Yes, Pure DSL packages are locked to a single location.

Can existing Afrihost DSL clients get Pure DSL?

Yes, existing Afrihost DSL clients can sign up for Pure DSL.

Please note, however, that Pure DSL is a service separate from your existing DSL Internet. You’ll have to sign up for a new package via our website and Openserve will have to install new DSL services at your premises.

Follow our Getting Connected guide for instructions on how to get Pure DSL.

Please note that if you change from an older Afrihost DSL package to Pure DSL, you will NOT be able to change back.
