Thank you for your expertise. After sitting with no wifi and internet for a month, it took about 5 days for Afrihost to sign me up and organise Vumatel to install new fibre in my home. Thank you, your team is fantastic.

My navrae is vinnig en professioneel beantwoord. Ek wens almal wil hierdie tipe diens inbring! Dis ŉ baie oulike idee om van Whatsapp gebruik te maak om navrae te beantwoord. Nou het ek alles byderhand en kan terug gaan om dit weer te lees indien ek iets vergeet het! Ek gee hulle 5 sterre en 11 uit 10 vir die persoon wat my gehelp het!

I have used them as an Internet service provider for years and have always been very happy with their service. They seldom have outages, and when they do they are addressed quickly and efficiently.

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.

General questions

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.
