I chatted on WhatsApp with a gent called Ethan. He was brilliant, patient and understood exactly what I needed. My sister trusted them, and I do too. I recommend the professional service to anyone and everyone looking for LTE or uncapped solutions. I spoke to Steph M and again, a repeat of amazing service. Thanks so much.

On time, quick & professional service, and the internet speed is as advertised, so far the best internet service I've experienced over the years and would recommend it to anyone. Especially for online gamers. Much faster gaming & no lagging👌.

I have used them as an Internet service provider for years and have always been very happy with their service. They seldom have outages, and when they do they are addressed quickly and efficiently.

After almost two weeks of not being able to access my fibre line. I decided to use the "Request a callback" option. Your consultant Siyabonga was EXTREMLY HELPFUL and patient.

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.
