afrihost provides such an amazing service! it's unbelievable considering that we're in south africa 😅. their internet connection never has any issues. the fact that you can communicate with an actual human being through their whatsapp number is just the cherry on top. the consultants have never failed to assist me with any of my enquiries. they are super friendly, always ready and willing to assist. they also go the extra mile by researching (within minutes) any information of an issue that you're unsure of that they seldom have customers asking about. i'm so happy i chose them as my 'internet service provider'. 10/10!!!

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.
