Always professional no matter how frustrated or upset I am. Always finds the answer if they don't have it or take up the issue and resolve it for you. Customer service is always great and by actual human beings not something automated.

I tried Afrihosts WhatsApp support Within 30 seconds I was chatting to Dineo. Within 5 minutes I was sorted. This is the best support I've received in a long long time. Keep it up Dineo!

Fast and effective support. Their WhatsApp support option made it easy to resolve issues / options I had when signing up for a new fibre account.

The reason for my considering to migrate is because web Africa does not have an inbound call centre and I don't fancy chatting over WhatsApp 2 a robot as the response time is usually very long. Issues can be resolved much quicker if you had verbal contact over the phone

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.
