There are not enough words that will describe the unbelievable service received from Mr Gian Visser, Kgothatso Lechuti and a gentleman whose name I unfortunately do not know. These 3 gentlemen went far and beyond for me and I am absolutely humbled by their kindness. Thank you to all.

Their agents are always professional and always willing to help. They are very knowledgeable and passionate!! I always leave their chat with being assisted. Well done!! I have a personal account with them and a business account with them and they are just amazing, which is an understatement! They even went at for as getting my 2 months worth of coding code back which I thought I lost, (my own fault, I deleted it by accident) hassle free. Now that I call exceptional customer service!

The Afrihost App is simply awesome. I am able to see my usage for my, and my family’s devices all for data, airtime and sms. Top up is just so easy. I can move data between devices. Invoices can be quickly transferred via Airdrop. Their presentation of everything is clear, concise and comprehensible. Card payments work perfectly. 10/10 guys. Well done !

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.
