Sicelo G is an absolute superstar. The patience was beyond with me. This is why I will not use anybody else. The WhatsApp support is efficient, knowledgeable and patient which must be quite a challenge at times I am sure.

I've had various products with Afrihost for more than 10 years and it has always been a positive experience. They are easy to deal with and one of the most affordable providers available (especially if you consider the upgrades they have provided over the years, often at reduced or no additional cost).

Professional, fast, patient, friendly and above all incredibly useful. Today's interaction and call for help was with an Afrihost team member by the name of Geraldo and he was excellent.

If you're tired of being tired, by these large cellphone companies, in 'South Africa', why don't you give, 'Afrihost' a try. Have come to an end of a two year contract, with one of the largest cellphone companies in 'South Africa'. Now, looking for a month to month deal. 'Afrihost', depending on your particular area and thus, cell / signal coverage, offers fantastic products and service. Their pricings are competitive, they utilise well versed and skilled, sales and back office personal. And every time that I need to communicate with one of their professionals, I'm always reassured and leave with total peace of mind. Well done. Keep it up. Thank you.

Great service and assistance. I did not have to wait too long and the person helping me understood my needs and was able to help me 100%. Great job Afrihost!

Best Technical consultant I've ever dealt with in anything. I sent a message to their whatsapp. FUMANJI responded and helped me sort out my wifi after I was getting terrible signal for 2 weeks straight only to find out router software was faulty. He replied to each one of my whatsapps within seconds of my response and didn't leave me hanging until the problem was solved. Give this man a Bells! Honestly jokes aside best service ever from consultant.

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.

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.
