My website server was down for several days, my I.T provider was terribly slow to assist. I looked up afrihost help desk on my own, with little knowledge on the issue . Sent a watsapp to their help desk and received awesome service. Totally exceeded my expectations. We are back online

Ordered Pure Fibre 20 on 3 Dec. Openserve called on the 4th to schedule install and installed today 7 Dec. Just activated the my Fibre on my old B315 LTE router and it works! (while I wait for the new router I ordered to arrive). Love the WhatsApp support line, very quick responses. Love the ClientZone website. That was quick and painless!

I am struggling for 4 days with Supersonic with no luck!! I will never ever recommend them. I have contacted Afrihost and immediately got service and excellent service too. I will definitely recommend Afrihost to anybody, especially for working moms doing meetings and homeschooling in lockdown where you need internet

In a country where good client service can be rare, Afrinatic is really a gem within Afrihost and deserves the highest praise, always extremely helpful and friendly and always does goes above at beyond. Any staff member at Afrihost should really aim to be like Afrinatic. Really can't thank him enough.

Nompumelelo was professional and quick to respond. He attended to my problem and fixed it with the first attempt. That shows me the standard of his work. It was good to get this professional support.

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.
