I am using Afrihost for hosting my domain as well as channel my data through them as I find this to be much cheaper than using the normal service provider data packages on my telephone. The assistance that I have received is always quick and I mostly make use of the Whatsapp call centre service, this saves time and money. Not just a great product but also a great service

Afrihost never disappoints with their support team, something which is now very rare with most companies. Been with them for more than 5 years now and continues being happy 😊

I use Afrihost for many years, and I was always satisfied with their services. Through their software they make it really easy to manage your account, track your usage and book a fault if there is any.

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.
