Been with Afrihost for many years and am always impressed with their service (fibre and mobile data) and help when I call. Their staff is always friendly and will not give up until the problem is fixed.

Caring and efficient! Excellent service from customer care, ordering my new line to my new home. I can just tell the after sales care and support will be just as great. I'm extremely happy with my decision to use them

I have only had the very best service and experience from Afrihost. They have assisted me in a professional and highly skilled manner everytime I had a question and as a ISP, the very best. No problems 😊 ever. Good communication from them as well. Well done and keep up the good work.

Great company. When migrating fibre just make sure you use the WhatsApp help to follow up regularly. If you leave them they will leave you for weeks without fibre with no updates when your line was active the whole time.

Excellent fibre products available from Afrihost. They maintain a focus on clients and keeping customers happy. Excellent technical support and overall service. For this reason, I've upgraded my fibre package to top tier available, for a fair price, and I haven't looked back.

Been with Afrihost since 2018 for Fibre. Best ISP I've experienced. I also make use of their domain parking and airmobile services and plan to make use of more of their services in future. I also found them to be decently priced.

We have been with Afrihost for over 7 years. It’s safe to say that we are family now. We love the support centre on WhatsApp and the overall experience with WiFi and data usage. I would recommend Afrihost to many.

Afrihost is always an absolute pleasure to deal with. The WhatsApp chat makes it work seamlessly because I don't have to juggle things with a phone at my ear.

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.
