Outstanding service - thank you Afrihost! - we have fibre for almost a year now and we couldn’t be happier. Very little, if any downtime, usually resolved in a couple of hours. Exceptional customer support. 10/10 would recommend to all my friends and family.

Definitely recommend AfriHost as a service provider😊. Professional, fast and efficient from order and installation, right up to after-sales service😃. And the prices are so reasonable, really a great offer for anyone wanting fibre.

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.
