Terms and conditions
General terms
- Although we endeavour to keep our coverage data as accurate as possible, we are reliant on the maps provided to us by Openserve, which may sometimes have slight inaccuracies.
- The advertised line speeds are a representation of the maximum possible throughput on that package. This speed is dependent on and varies from exchange to exchange as regulated by Openserve. In certain areas, some speeds are not achievable.
- Due to Openserve infrastructure restrictions, some line speeds may not be available in your area. Check coverage in your area to see which packages are available in your area.
- All Pure DSL packages are subject to an Acceptable Use Policy.
- Pure DSL accounts are locked to a single location. The location it gets locked to is the location you supply during sign up.
- Regular Openserve copper line required to apply for a Pure DSL package. A voice line, however, is not required.
- Performance is subject to contention. This means that data speeds and latency may be affected by factors outside of Afrihost’s control or demand for bandwidth at any given time.
*Save more than R200 every month
- Based on a basic Telkom Landline rental package at R210pm. Actual monthly saving might differ depending on the landline package you are currently using.

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.
