I've been a little while with Afrihost and can only say it is the best service and support I've ever had in South Africa. Real people working hard even right down to customer service to bring really great working products to their customers. Tech and human factors of a high level.

Afrihost provides a service that is easily accessible through different media, email, WhatsApp or voice call and their officials are knowledgeable of the work they are doing. I'm a happy client.

My experience with Afrihost has been great! There are always friendly professionals waiting to assist, from installation, to problems you may encounter. Not to mention they upgrade your line speed at no extra monthly cost... how fantastic!

The WhatsApp assistance team is excellent! So much easier when one can send screenshots of the actual issue instead of explaining via a phone call.

Afrihost are the customer service that MTN can't offer. It's such a shame that they rely on the MTN infrastructire which often lets the down. From Domain creation to Support, Website builders, Mobile Data plans and Airtime management, Afrihost are amazing !

Afrihost never disappoints with their support team, something which is now very rare with most companies. Been with them for more than 5 years now and continues being happy 😊

The service from Afrihost is absolutely amazing with very efficient and friendly consultants. Nokwanda was a superstar and assisted me immediately. I promote Afrihost to everyone wherever I go, as they are the best fibre provider and deserve all the credit they get. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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.
