I've been migrating from another slow, without network at times service to another reliable one as promised. The guy who helped me was excellent, very professional and kept on asking me if there's anything else I need help with. To me that's more than just service, it's a top-notch service.

This was the best experience I have had with a service provider ever. It is incredible that they call you and you don't have to wait for hours to be assisted. I love that I could do this online in the comfort of my home. Their website is user-friendly, such a pleasure for someone like me who struggles with technology! they are surely geared to make life easy in this world of technology. The people were very professional and extremely helpful. We also have Afrihost as our service provider for our internet. What a pleasure.

Good day I would like to take this opportunity to say how greatful I am to Faith G, she was the agent that assisted with refreshing my wifi line. She helped and sorted it out in no time. I would like to rate her service a 10 / 10 and I would like to thank afrihost for their great service.

Their WhatsApp customer service is fast and efficient. Their tech guys are super helpful and patient, asking for clarity when they're not clear on your issue. That's a definite win for me.

Had no internet since last night 23 november 202. Did everything and nothing worked. Then this morning i went on to the whatsapp chat with afrihost and they connected me with Thabiso D. And you would this that a chat is going to take forever but not with afrihost and Thabiso. I was helped so quickly that im thinking now why did i stress the whole night if theres a Thabiso D at Afrihost. Thanks for the excellent experience. This was awesome.

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.
