PCN — fibre and wireless internet provider in Cape Town
PCN is a Cape Town internet service provider based at 75 Roeland Street in District Six, selling uncapped, unshaped fibre from 10Mbps at R599 a month. It runs its own PCN FTTH network and also sells over Vumatel, Openserve, Frogfoot and Octotel, so a customer can be connected on whichever network reaches the address. Wireless internet, VoIP and cloud PBX, web hosting and VPS hosting round out what is sold, and the company pitches itself on neighbour-to-neighbour local service.

Part network owner, part reseller, all Cape Town
PCN is unusual in the mix it runs. It has built its own FTTH footprint and it rents lines on Vumatel, Openserve, Frogfoot and Octotel, which means the answer at your address could be either, and the two are not the same deal. On its own network PCN controls the line and the fault resolution end to end; on the others it is the retailer and the network operator owns the trench, so escalation goes through a second company. Worth asking which one you would be on before you sign. Being a single-city ISP is the rest of the pitch, and it is a real one for a small Cape Town business: the support desk is local, and the neighbour-to-neighbour framing is not marketing filler when the technician is fifteen minutes away. VoIP and cloud PBX sit on the same account, which keeps the phone system with the line. Compare the alternatives in the fibre provider directory.
Who PCN is a fit for
- Cape Town homes and small businesses wanting a local support desk
- Addresses inside the PCN FTTH footprint, where PCN owns the line
- Buyers who want internet, a phone system and hosting on one account

How much does PCN internet cost?
The published entry point is 10Mbps from R599 a month, uncapped and unshaped. Higher speeds and installation costs are not listed on the site, so ask for the full price list against your specific address.
Does PCN own its own fibre network?
Partly. PCN runs its own FTTH footprint and also resells Vumatel, Openserve, Frogfoot and Octotel. Which one serves you depends on your address, and it is worth asking which before you sign.
Why does it matter whose network I am on?
On its own network PCN owns the line and the fault resolution. On a rented line the network operator owns the physical infrastructure, so faults are escalated through them, which usually means longer repair times outside PCN’s control.
Does PCN offer a phone system?
Yes. VoIP and cloud PBX are sold alongside the connectivity, which suits a small business that would rather have the line and the phone system on one account and one support number.
What if there is no fibre at my address?
PCN sells wireless internet as well, which is the usual answer for Cape Town addresses that no fibre operator has reached. Ask for both options to be quoted so you can compare.
Where is PCN based?
At 75 Roeland Street, District Six, Cape Town. It is a single-city provider, which is the basis of its neighbour-to-neighbour service claim.
