Afrihost makes dealing with my email issues a breeze. Their consultants on WhatsApp are knowledgeable and really friendly. The fact that I can WhatApp and get an almost immediate answer is an absolute pleasure.

Received excellent service and assitance from Arthur. He was cordial, very willing to assist and was able to identify my problem with the least info. He is certainly an asset to your organisation. Keep up the good service.

In the current state of service levels in SA it is always a pleasure dealing with Afrihost whom might not always have all the answers or the best answers. But under trying circumstances in the current business environment they sure go that extra mile to make things a little more enjoyable.

Afrihost has ALWAYS managed my challenges with the upmost professionalism and efficiency. Yes, there are the odd bad call, but they have never disappointed or underdelivered. Shout out to George, the most recent consultant, this dude was kwaai. Keep it up Afrihost, proudly South African.

So far the experience is great. Service is good, and we will see once the router arrives and we actually move over, but the onboarding is excellent

The support is so much better than the awful "service" offered by their competitor that starts with Voda and ends with com. Let's see how the bandwidth is when I move!

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.
