Best customer service of all time. May bot always have the best deal. But I would choose quality customer service over anything. Their WhatsApp chat makes it so easy to get help efficiently.

Afrihost & Tshepo, made my experience with this brand feel like no other. Thorough, engaging, friendly, passionate, and so much more. Everything, that you wish you had in other (external) brands. You guys are simply, just amazing!

I was treated most professionally, competently and with great patience by Sicelo, despite being irate and flustered at month-end. Extremely happy with the service.

(Translated by Google) Afrihost's products and service are great. Help is just the proverbial click away. (Original) Afrihost se produkte en diens is puik. Hulp is net die spreekwoordelike een kliek ver.

We have been with Afrihost as our fiber supplier for six months now, and we couldn't be happier with their service. They have consistently provided us with excellent support and have been a pleasure to work with.

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.
