Themba was an efficient, helpful, skilled and engaged assistant who thoroughly investigated the issue as far as he was able to. He referred the problem to Octotel to resolve the internet connection. I appreciate the good service and quick action I have received.

After having the worst experience with Mweb and then WebAfrica, I landed on Afrihost and I am so happy. From their cheerful and helpful telephonic service, to their face to face care, I really felt like an important customer and they installed my fibre in record time. It also seems like they deal with their customer's issues properly, unlike other providers who fob you off to AI assistants. Thank you Afrihost :)

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.
