Everyone online: Try Bluehost. Yep. Minimum one year contract. Afrihost: Just pay for whatever is left over of the month! Then monthly. No contract. And cheap. The Whatsapp help is great, and friendly. And their data is cheap and available in many formats. Where I live, LTE data with MTN is available. Also no contract. Beat that Bluehost, Hostinger, whatever. But hey, it's South African. What do you expect.

Glen M was extremely professional, patient, and helpful throughout our WhatsApp interaction. He listened carefully to my questions and concerns, and provided clear and thorough responses. Glen's demeanor was friendly and reassuring, which made the process smooth and stress-free. I was very impressed by Glen's product knowledge and his ability to explain things in an easy-to-understand way. He took the time to ensure I had all the information I needed and did not rush me at any point. Overall, the service I received from Glen was exceptional. He is a credit to your company and I would highly recommend him to others. Please pass along my sincere thanks for his outstanding customer service.

If I could give more I would. Sicelo was more than patient and unbelievably kind when I asked the stupid questions. What a massive asset to your company. This whole experience (move to you) has blown me away. Mind blowing quick less than 24 hours to bring in the cable to set up the banking and configure my set up. Your website FAQ and your interaction are predictive informative and easy to understand. Cannot say enough good things about the move. Well done and thank you

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.

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.
