Really impressed by Afrihost's post-sale service. Their support teams are quick to respond and are knowledgeable. It seems like they've got a 24/7 support team as I've requested assistance late at night and got feedback within a few hours.

Thorough, patient, on time, each encounter has been great even when asking what may seem obvious to some people, I appreciated the patience in understanding what was needed and speedy assistance.

From start to finish the staff were polite, extremely patient and efficient. The costs exceeded my wildest expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending Afrihost to everyone. 5 star rating definitely deserved.

We've had several services from Afrihost and I've never had any issues. Their after sale service is FANTASTIC! I will always try to take a service from them, because what they sell, is what you get!

We have been using Afrihost at home fibre since 2019 & have had minimal problems with their service. On the odd occasion that there was an issue it was quickly sorted out via their WhatsApp. I definitely recommend them to all my friends

I think we often give reviews for negative things and while it's great to help others who want to know about a company or service, it is good to acknowledge great service. I have been with Afrihost for close to 5 years now and I am extremely happy with their service. They give excellent service honestly and are the best in the business. It's always prompt and efficient service and friendly chat agents on the WhatsApp service. Even when they do not have an immediate solution, they always keep you in the loop. Big ups to them.

We moved our fiber to Afrihost. Put order in on 31/03/2024 which is the day our previous ISP ended. Waited until after public holiday and on 02/04/2024 the new line was requested, approved and activated. The new router is on its way but we are already online with our old router. Amazing service, great app and super fast internet. We are very happy.

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've walked a long road with Afrihost, we've had our ups and downs. I must say that things are going very well these days. Support is fast and good. All has been going well for some time now and I am happy.

Afrihost is simply the best. Do not even think about Mweb they are nonsense. Afrihost is very timely in their response sometimes even on weekends. Their app is efficient as well. Top ups are fast and easy to do. Very good company to trust.

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.
