NWET — wireless internet provider in South Africa
NWET is a North West province internet service provider founded in 2009 and trading from Botha Street in Leeudoringstad, registered as NWET Pty Ltd. The company builds fixed-wireless links to farms, smallholdings and small towns that sit outside fibre footprints, and it runs its own high sites to do it. Alongside connectivity it sells network setup, remote technical support and ICT consulting to the same rural customer base.
Key facts
| Who they are | A North West province wireless internet service provider trading as NWET Pty Ltd since 2009, based in Leeudoringstad and aimed at rural and remote addresses that fibre has not reached |
| Wireless services | Uncapped and unshaped fixed-wireless internet for homes and businesses, delivered over the company’s own high sites. Packages are split by use case rather than by raw speed alone, with a pension subscription, a starter subscription and a dedicated CCTV subscription that prioritises upload |
| Also offers | Professional wireless network setup, remote technical support, ICT consulting, and customised higher-bandwidth links for business customers |
| Head office | 63a Botha Street, Leeudoringstad, 2640, North West |
| Coverage | Rural and remote parts of the North West province. Every install needs line of sight to an NWET high site, so coverage is checked per address rather than by suburb |
| ICASA licence | No ICASA reference is published on the site. That is common for smaller regional wireless operators and is not in itself a quality signal, but ask for the reference in writing if your procurement process requires it |
| Pricing | The pension subscription is published from R300 per month and the starter subscription from R450 per month, both uncapped and unshaped for up to three users. A CCTV-only subscription is listed from R300 per month. Installation is quoted per area rather than published |

High sites and line of sight in the North West
Rural wireless lives or dies on line of sight. NWET runs its own high sites across the North West and checks each address against them before quoting, which is the right order of operations when the alternative is a marginal link that degrades in weather. Farms and smallholdings are the natural fit here, and the package structure reflects that: a pension tier priced at R300 a month and a CCTV-only tier that prioritises upload rather than download tell you the company knows its customers are watching a gate camera or streaming in the evening, not running an office. Ask about the mast or pole height your site needs, since that is usually the variable that turns a marginal path into a workable one and it lands in the installation quote. The wider market sits in the wireless provider directory.
Who NWET is a fit for
- Farms and smallholdings in the North West with no fibre and weak mobile coverage
- Pensioners and light households that want a low monthly figure rather than headline speed
- Rural properties running CCTV that need upload prioritised over download

Where does NWET provide internet?
Across rural and remote parts of the North West province, from a base at 63a Botha Street in Leeudoringstad. Every connection needs line of sight to one of the company’s high sites, so coverage is confirmed per address.
How long has NWET been trading?
Since 2009, which makes it one of the longer-running independent wireless operators in the North West.
What does NWET charge?
The pension subscription is published from R300 per month and the starter subscription from R450 per month, both uncapped and unshaped for up to three users. A CCTV-only package is listed from R300 per month. Installation is quoted per area.
Does NWET work for CCTV?
Yes, there is a dedicated CCTV subscription that prioritises upload traffic. That matters because camera footage travels the opposite way to normal browsing and will choke a link tuned only for download.
Is NWET ICASA licensed?
No licence reference is published on the site. Smaller regional wireless operators often do not publish one, and that alone says nothing about service quality, but request the reference in writing if compliance requires it.
Does NWET support businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Alongside the residential packages the company offers customised higher-speed and higher-bandwidth links for business customers, plus network setup and ICT consulting.
