Tshepiso was courteous, helpful, and professional throughout our engagement. I appreciated the clarity and patience with which they assisted me. It’s always refreshing to receive support that feels both efficient and human.

Great service from the get-go. I run all my domains via Afrihost, and all my clients' websites, and now I've just applied for fibre. So let's see how it goes. For now 5 stars

The best service provider by far. They have hosted my domain and email for 15 years and are also now my mobile service provider with Air Mobile. If you don't migrate to Afrihost you are losing out. Do it now!

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

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.
