Each and every query I ever had has taken longer than 5 minutes to resolve. Today I spent less than 5 minutes on a chat with an agent named Tshepisho and my query was resolved within less than 5 minutes. I must say I am impressed as service is getting more and more smooth each time🫡🤭

Service always great, but today i have met the showstopper...was assisted by Ethan via the WhatsApp chat and he was the best in terms of efficient and helpful. Well done Ethan, you make it impossible for me to want to deal with anyone else besides 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!

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.
