Edelnet — wireless internet provider in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands
Edelnet has supplied wireless internet connectivity to the public since 2006 and covers a specific list of KwaZulu-Natal Midlands towns rather than making a national claim. Howick, Hilton, Pietermaritzburg, Wartburg, New Hanover and a dozen more are named on its coverage page. The company states it is licensed with ICASA and is a member of the Wireless Access Providers’ Association, and it sells VoIP numbers and handsets alongside the connectivity. Its website now serves from edelweb.co.za.

A named town list, not a national claim
Edelnet publishes fifteen named towns and villages across the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, and that specificity is the most useful thing on the site. A provider that lists Cramond, Fawnleas and Mid-Illovo by name has built something real in those places, which is a different proposition from a national brand that will quote you and then discover nothing serves your farm. Fixed wireless is the right technology for this geography, since trenching fibre to smallholdings between Howick and New Hanover rarely makes commercial sense. The line about contacting them if your area is not listed is worth taking literally, because a nearby high point can sometimes bring an unlisted address into range. VoIP on the same link suits a small rural business that has given up on a copper line. Compare options in the wireless provider directory.
Who Edelnet is a fit for
- KZN Midlands farms, smallholdings and villages outside the fibre footprint
- Businesses in Howick, Hilton and Pietermaritzburg wanting a local operator

How long has Edelnet been operating?
The company states it has been supplying high-speed internet connectivity to the public since 2006, which puts it around twenty years in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
Which towns does Edelnet cover?
The published list names Albert Falls, Camperdown, Cramond, Dalton, Eston, Fawnleas, Glenside, Harburg, Hilton, Howick, Karkloof and surrounds, Mid-Illovo, New Hanover, Pietermaritzburg and Wartburg. The company invites contact if your area is not listed.
Why does edelnet.co.za redirect to edelweb.co.za?
The older address issues a permanent redirect to edelweb.co.za. It is the same business under the same Edelnet brand, not a rebrand, so older invoices and bookmarks carrying the previous domain still refer to this company.
Is Edelnet ICASA licensed?
The company states directly that it is licensed with ICASA, though no reference number is published. It is also a member of the Wireless Access Providers’ Association. Ask for the licence number in writing if procurement needs it recorded.
Can I get a phone line from Edelnet?
Yes. VoIP numbers and handsets are sold alongside the connectivity, which is often the practical answer where a copper line is unavailable or unreliable. The calls ride the same wireless link, so a line fault affects both.
What does the service cost?
No prices are published. Fixed wireless pricing depends on the distance to the nearest tower and what has to be mounted at your site, so ask for the installation cost and the monthly figure as separate numbers.
