Mduduzi M was brilliant. He assisted me step by step in every way possible and was able to sort out the issue with my connectivity. He was very patient and professional, and it was great dealing with him in every way possible. A great job well done—he is absolutely amazing.

Afrihost offers a great service, has awesome pricing promotions once every now and then. Afrihost has adequate communication in down time and sends out information when it's required. I have been with them for 10 years this year and I won't be moving any time soon.

The additional support offered when I am struggling with the digital nature of our transactions, is of a high standard and allows me to get things done AND feel treated like a special client, even when my questions are stupid.

I have been using Afrihost for years now to host websites. I have now also decided to AirMobile and wow, it has been a surprisingly good experience. From really good connection quality to really affordable data bundles, I would absolutely recommend Afrihost for hosting and definitely to switch to as your cellular provider.

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.
