I was with Afrihost (first Mobile internet then Openserve Fibre) from ±2013 to 2019, and then decided to go with Vox (Frogfoot) because it was a good special. I am now going back to Afrihost and Openserve because Frogfoot is trash over the past 6 months, and working from home I need reliable internet. My experiences with Afrihost again, so far, have been positive.

I phoned Afrihost to request information because I was looking for the possibility of joining their FTTH unfortunately the email connected to me was blocked and the gentleman who was helping me was excellent and he understood my problem. He was patient with me and went all the way to Investigate my problem and pointed me to the relevant Depart of Afrihost that will assist me further. Well done Afrihost that is the reason why I want to join you. Your service is excellent!! Mike Taffa

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.
