Internet Generation — now part of HeroTel
Internet Generation no longer trades under this name. Its website, igen.co.za, now redirects to herotel.com — verified 1 August 2026. HeroTel has consolidated a large number of regional wireless internet providers across South Africa, and this is one of them. This page is kept live so anyone still searching for Internet Generation finds out where the business went, rather than hitting a dead link.

Why this page still exists
Brands outlive the companies that used them. People carry on searching a name for years after it stops appearing on invoices, and deleting a URL that still ranks would send every one of those searches to a dead end. So this page stays, says plainly that Internet Generation is now part of HeroTel, and points onward. What it deliberately does not do is reconstruct a history of Internet Generation from memory or from the unverified copy this listing used to carry. An accurate short page is worth more than a detailed invented one. If you need a working provider today, the quote request below goes to South African providers we have verified.

What happened to Internet Generation?

HeroTel. The old Internet Generation contact routes are no longer maintained and any service you held will have moved across.

Because we could not verify them. The description this listing previously carried was not sourced from the company, so it was removed rather than repeated. WhichVoIP publishes what it can check.
Why keep the page at all?
