Very helpful and always willing to help . I've had a issue before and the agent called me back to confirm if everything is up and running after the technicians left me premises .

This was one of the best experiences I've had. Scelo was extremely helpful, where others had failed and escalated the issue to other departments. Scelo was able to troubleshoot and resolve my query. I am very grateful. Scelo deserves a raise and a promotion. The only problem is that we might miss their expertise.

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.

Been with Afrihost for more than 6 years now. Very good service. Almost never any issues with my ADSL, but when a issue pops up, it gets resolved very quickly. Thanks for being such a awesome service provider.

Ordered a Fixed Lte on Sunday 1 Dec, the order was ready to be picked up on Monday 2 Dec, I walked into the Afrihost center, registered my name and cellphone number, waited for 10 min in the Que. While I waited, I was offered either coffee or water. The service is excellent

I have been using Afrihost for years now to host websites. I have now also decided to AirMobile and wow, it has been a surprisingly good experience. From really good connection quality to really affordable data bundles, I would absolutely recommend Afrihost for hosting and definitely to switch to as your cellular provider.

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.
