Awesome customer service and use to have competitive prices, however i think over time they didnt bother adapting their prices(mobile data prices), and there are currently better offers out there. I am 100% positive i would've stayed with them if their prices were just better because like i said, customer service and satisfaction is better than any i have experienced before...

Great place. Good service.. Had a client router that had stopped working.. The unit was replaced with no hassles.. I couldn't find the original box it was packaged in. Yet they still assisted me and got it replaced.. Their service is great, from walking in to walking out. I was greeted by everyone, and everyone is friendly.

Every time I have had an issue with my domain I have gone to the support whatsapp line and within moments I have received (human) help (not AI) and been able to get through the issue successfully. This immediate support is a game changer for me.

Their Offices in Rivonia are world class with very well equipped client support centres and probably the quickest response time in both service and sales.

I have been using Afrihost for more than a decade and have only found ease of use and support across their entire products range from web hosting, mobile service and fibre connectivity which can all be effortlessly be self managed within the Clientzone portal. I believe they are the best in the business.

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.
