Shout out to Nomfundo, well trained and knowledgeable in navigating Chat services. She was patient and directing with such politeness and humility Positive experience and well trained agents who take their jobs seriously leaves an everlasting impact on customers and I am one of those. I have been with Afrihost for little over 10 years and and their service is consistent across all the organisation. Keep investing on your staff... It goes a long way and they are the ones to retain us. Thank you Nomfundo for such a positive experience. Ms. Maybenne'

Great customer service with exceptionally easy upgrade, relocation and migration processes. The app is also pleasant to use. I've never had a contract issue or serious functionality problem since getting fibre with Afrihost several years ago. They communicate when there are minor issues and they resolve them quickly. Also, the contract prices are very good.

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.
