The business face of the RocketNet network
Directel and RocketNet are two names for one operation seen from different ends. RocketNet is the consumer-facing fibre brand with 450 Google reviews; Directel is the business-facing side, and both describe the same network from the same Cedar Square office. That is useful to know rather than confusing, because it means a business buying from Directel is buying onto infrastructure with a visible public track record, and the licence references RocketNet publishes belong to the same group. What the Directel site does not do is describe its products in any detail, so the conversation has to do that work: what connectivity, what cloud, and above all what the telephony actually is, since no platform is named anywhere. Establish which legal entity your contract sits with. Compare alternatives in the fibre provider directory.
Who Directel is a fit for

What is the relationship between Directel and RocketNet?
RocketNet states it is a division of Directel Communications (Pty) Ltd, and Directel states its network powers RocketNet. Both operate from the same Cedar Square address in Fourways. Ask which entity your contract would be with.
Is Directel ICASA licensed?
The Directel site publishes no reference. RocketNet, part of the same group, publishes I-ECS 0382/IECS/MAY/2009 and I-ECNS 0382/IECNS/MAY/2009. Ask Directel to confirm which licences apply to your service in writing.
What telephony does Directel offer?
The site mentions telephones as part of a cloud, internet and telephones offering but names no platform or features. Ask exactly what the product is, how many extensions a quote covers, and what the call rates are.
Does Directel cover my address?
No footprint is published. Because the same network carries RocketNet, coverage is decided per address by where that network has been built. Ask for an address-level check.
Why is no customer rating shown?
The Directel Google profile has fewer than five reviews, below the threshold WhichVoIP uses. The RocketNet profile at the same address carries 4.3 from 450 reviews, but that is a different brand and is shown on its own listing.
What does it cost?
No pricing is published. Ask for connectivity, cloud and telephony priced as separate lines rather than a single bundled monthly figure.
