The best, all enquiries solved quickly, responce rate absolutely great. TANNER is the definition of Brilliance :D .Fairly easy platform (client zone) would recommend to anyone. I had to come back and add a few comments ;D absolutely great,tech wise am on 0, but i managed to built my own website with the aid of previous QnAs. So if a person who just knows word can do it mm just smiles. 19/12/22 Received the worst of assistance today. I was calling because my website was showing errors and and it said disc usage full in cpanel. The guy could only say they can't assist contact your web developer, I told him I created it using YouTube so I don't know what's wrong myself. Last time we had a similar problem it was resolved just aftr emailing. He advised to upgrade the package, but that's not the solution,even f I upgrade it wi still happen and you will say upgrade again. I already have 8 different packages with afrihost, I know this is busines but after so many years how can the only solution to my problem be upgrade the package clearly they are not keen on helping or just define the service provided to just 'hosting any other things its not our area'

Afrihost you are the absolutely very best service provider in every sense of the word. My wife and I teach English online and have not got a place to call our own. So we have been by 3 places in the space of three weeks. We have a Pure LTE set up and afrihost has assisted us with such speed and kept us online so we can earn salary and survive. Thank you Afrihost 💗💐

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.

General questions

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.
