Team is fantastic. Service is beyond excellent. Every experience I have had... and there have been many... as been slick, problem solving, and on more than one occasion keeping me on the line, when I am sure I'm all set, to do the extra checks and and ensure all is in order before I leave. Really incredible. We'll done!

I've just moved back to Afrihost, now AirMobile. Service has been excellent. Network quality has been excellent. LTE and 5G coverage has been phenomenal. The data packages are nicely priced.

Afrihost always goes above and beyond to help their customers. Where most companies were taking away from clients during covid-19, Afrihost was giving more (upping our connection speeds at no cost for a few months)

Extremely happy with the service that we have received from Afrihost. We have been with them for 2 years and have had very little problems with our Fibre line. On the odd occasion when we do have a problem, their staff are always willing to help and sort the issues within minutes.

Easily some of the best customer-experience in SA. Now using them for my 5/6th time for an internet or mobile product -- fast responses, (normally) easy info/instructions etc.

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.
