ScottNET — VoIP, connectivity and managed IT provider in KwaZulu-Natal
ScottNET works from Scottburgh on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast and has grown to four offices, adding Shelly Beach, Cape Town and Johannesburg. Its position is that voice belongs on the same network as everything else, so phones and computers share the internal infrastructure, and it handles the cabling, the connectivity, the cloud, the security and the PC support around them with its own in-house cabling teams.
Key facts
| Who they are | A managed IT and internet provider rooted on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, running VoIP and IP telephony, connectivity, networking, cloud, security and PC support |
| Four offices | A wider footprint than a South Coast provider usually has: 77 Galway Street, Scottburgh (head office); Lot 2081 Shelly Beach Business Park; Servitude Road, Hypermarket Centre, Ottery, Cape Town; and corner William Nicol and Leslie Drive, Fourways, Johannesburg |
| Voice position | The company describes voice as integrated into the IT network, with phones and computers sharing internal infrastructure. That is the correct modern architecture, and it also means the quality of your calls depends on the quality of the cabling and switching — which is why the in-house cabling capability matters here |
| In-house cabling | The company emphasises its own cabling teams rather than subcontractors, covering internal cabling, fibre connections and wireless point-to-point links. For a multi-site business, one accountable team from the cable to the handset removes a familiar blame loop |
| Coverage | The KZN South Coast around Scottburgh and Shelly Beach, plus Gauteng and the Western Cape from the Fourways and Ottery offices |
| Customer rating | 4.2 from 6 Google reviews. The profile carries no website field, but its address matches the published head office exactly, which is what ties it to the company. It is a small sample, so read the individual reviews rather than the average |
| Pricing | Quote-based. Voice and IT are scoped per business rather than sold as a fixed retail package |
| Founded | Not publicly stated on the site |
| ICASA licence | Not published. Confirm the licensed entity behind your specific voice service when you request a quote |
| Best suited to | South Coast and multi-site businesses that want VoIP, connectivity and IT support from one supplier with its own installation teams |
| Listed In | Cloud PBX Providers |
Own the cabling, own the call quality
Cloud voice arrives over your internet line, but the last thirty metres decide how it sounds. Once phones and computers share the same internal network, a badly terminated cable, an unmanaged switch or a saturated uplink shows up as choppy calls rather than as a network fault, and the argument between the voice supplier and the cabling contractor becomes the customer’s problem. ScottNET runs its own cabling teams and sells the voice, which collapses that argument into one accountable supplier. If you are fitting out a new office or a site with ageing wiring, that is the practical reason to shortlist it. The four-office footprint is unusual for a company rooted on the South Coast, and it makes the provider viable for a business with a head office in Durban or Scottburgh and branches in Gauteng or the Cape. Ask whether response times are the same across all four, since a footprint on a website is not the same as staff on the ground. The Google sample is small at six reviews, so read them individually rather than relying on the 4.2, and ask for two reference customers of similar size and shape. Compare providers in the cloud PBX directory.
Who ScottNET is a fit for
- Offices being fitted out or rewired, where cabling and voice from one supplier avoids finger-pointing
- South Coast businesses with branches in Gauteng or the Western Cape
- Companies wanting phones, network, cloud and PC support under one relationship

Ask whether the internal cabling and switching is included in the voice quote or priced separately, because that is what determines call quality once phones share the data network. Confirm response times at each of the four offices rather than assuming they match. Request two reference customers of similar size, since the published review sample is small.
