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.

Webafrica is the real deal. No wonder for all their accolades since inception. Well done boys. Shout out to my colleague Greg Payne in the executive team. Hope all good buddy.

I’m extremely happy with Afrihost. When I first moved to Vaalpark, I had tried a few ISPs to only be disappointed. Until a friend of mine recommended Afrihost. I moved over to them and haven’t regretted it a single day. They gave me everything I needed in an ISP. No speed reduction in the evenings. And honestly the best value for money. And special offers for being a loyal customer.

Afrihost is my preferred hosting provider for the websites I build. They are super helpful and the WhatsApp support is amazing. I dread working with other hosting providers and really notice the difference when a client has a different hosting company. I recommend that all my clients use Afrihost.

There support is effortless, I stopped offering hosting service and would send customers to them, while I focused on the website and email accounts.

The support I get from the WhatsApp communication line is just super good! The response time is minimal and always helps me to get to the business going. Even the newly introduced automated payments method, for overdue invoices helps. Keep it up guys

Afrihost has been the best ISP I've been with. I've been their client for around 6 years and I've been happy all that time. Great service and prompt response

Great service but geez please we need other dates for debit orders. The 1st is not always working for everyone. Please just consider other flexible dates

Always a pleasure to interact with Afrihost client services, via telecoms or WhatsApp or email. Responses are swift, agents are friendly, patient and very courteous. Been with Afrihost on different packages for almost 15th are now, and never have I ever encountered any issues that went unresolved with immediate affect. Really glad I chose Afrihost over all the other service providers!!!

They are very nice to work with, they get the job done while still being polite and respectful to the clients requirements and timeline. I think that they are the perfect image of how a business should treat their clients

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.
