Key facts
| Who they are | Maxitec Internet & Cellular is a South African internet service provider that has been trading since 1997, making it one of the longer-established ISPs in the market. It sells connectivity nationally rather than from a single regional footprint. |
| Voice services | Maxitec lists VoIP among its services. It is sold alongside connectivity and hosting rather than as the company’s primary product, and the site does not publish a per-extension rate card. |
| Also offers | Fibre, fixed wireless, ADSL and LTE/3G mobile data, plus mailboxes, domain registration, web hosting, website design and marketing services. Mobile offerings run on the MTN and Telkom networks. |
| Head office | Not publicly stated. Maxitec publishes contact channels and business hours but not a full street address. |
| Coverage | Advertised as nationwide — the site states it can connect customers anywhere in South Africa, with fibre delivered over partner networks including Openserve and Lightstruck. Actual availability still depends on which network reaches your address. |
| ICASA licence | No ICASA reference is published on the site. Maxitec displays ISPA membership; most South African ISPs of this size do not publish a licence number, and its absence is not a quality signal. |
| Pricing | Published entry prices: fibre from R399/month, WiFi from R99/month, email from R59/month and hosting from R49/month. These are advertised starting prices, so confirm the speed and term attached to each. |

A long-running ISP selling across every access type
Maxitec has been selling internet access since 1997, which predates fibre in South Africa entirely, and the product range still reflects that history: fibre and fixed wireless sit alongside ADSL and mobile data on MTN and Telkom. For a buyer, the breadth is the point. If fibre does not reach your premises, the same supplier can put you on wireless or LTE rather than turning the sale away, which suits sites outside metro fibre footprints. The company bundles the surrounding services too, including mailboxes, domains, hosting and website work, so a small business can consolidate suppliers. Published entry prices start at R399 a month for fibre and R99 for WiFi, but those are starting figures rather than a full rate card, so the speed and contract attached to each is worth pinning down before you sign.
Who Maxitec is a fit for
- Businesses outside metro fibre footprints needing a wireless or LTE fallback
- Buyers who value a supplier with a long trading history behind it
- Small businesses wanting connectivity, email, domains and hosting on one account
