I had an excellent experience chatting with Nonjabulo. From the very beginning, Nonjabulo demonstrated a clear understanding of my needs and provided precise and helpful responses. The communication was smooth, efficient, and empathetic, making the entire process enjoyable. Nonjabulo's expertise and attentiveness made me feel valued and supported throughout our interaction. Thank you for the outstanding service!

This was one of the best experiences I've had. Scelo was extremely helpful, where others had failed and escalated the issue to other departments. Scelo was able to troubleshoot and resolve my query. I am very grateful. Scelo deserves a raise and a promotion. The only problem is that we might miss their expertise.

The best ISP service provider. Even though you pay a little more, the service and resolve is the most efficient. I guess you get what you pay for!

The Afrihost hosting team helped me restore a website backup after 10pm on a Friday night, well outside of their working hours. This is above and beyond the call of duty and I'm very happy with their support, whether via email, whatsapp or phone. Thanks guys, you're always there to help!

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.

General questions
