Sound familiar?

For a business, internet isn't a luxury — downtime is a cost.

If any of these are part of your week, you're paying for it in lost time, lost calls and lost revenue:

The line drops during loadshedding — right when you need it
Cloud accounting and card machines time out mid-transaction
Buyer / client calls on WhatsApp or Zoom break up
Cameras, pumpstations or POS devices keep going offline
"Uncapped" that quietly throttles you after a few hundred GB
Support that only answers in business hours — from another town
Speeds you were promised that you never actually see
Providers blaming each other while you lose a day's work
Before you sign anything

7 questions every business should ask an internet provider.

A business line is a multi-year decision. Ask any provider these — and hold us to the same standard.

Google their name and check HelloPeter. No reviews — or no replies to complaints — is a red flag.

techCONNECT: 4.8 / 5 across 134 Google reviews.
2

What's your published, guaranteed uptime?

Not a verbal promise — a number you can verify. 99%+ means minutes of downtime a month, not hours.

We publish live, per-tower uptime at status.techshops.co.za, and back it with an SLA.
3

Is it a dedicated line, or shared with the neighbourhood?

Contended/shared links slow to a crawl at peak. A dedicated point-to-point link is yours alone.

We build a dedicated Air Fiber link to your site — separate to any other line in the area.
4

Is it truly uncapped, unshaped — no Fair Usage Policy?

Many "uncapped" plans throttle hard after a hidden threshold. Ask for it in writing.

Uncapped, unshaped, no FUP. Full stop.
5

Does the network stay up during loadshedding?

"Pinky promise"? Ask how. Stolen tower batteries and unprofitable sites are why most can't.

Low-power equipment on solar + battery — built to ride out the dark.
6

Do you optimise video calls and cloud apps?

~80% of business traffic is video + VoIP. Without prioritisation, calls break and apps lag.

We run Preseem, so Zoom, WhatsApp calls and cloud apps stay smooth even when the line is busy.
7

Is the network secure, and is support actually reachable?

Malware wastes your bandwidth and risks your data. And when something breaks, who answers — and how fast?

Built-in Whalebone security + extended-hours local support, on the phone and on-site.
Why ours feels faster

A fast line is only half the story.

You’re getting a proper 100Mbps line — plenty of speed for a busy office, shop or farm. But here’s what most providers won’t tell you: when a line gets busy, everything fights for space at once. A big download can choke your card machine; someone streaming can break up an important call.

So we run a system called Preseem — think of it as a traffic cop for your line. Picture your connection as a highway and your router as a tollgate: Preseem waves the important things through first — card machines, WhatsApp and Zoom calls, your cloud apps — so they never stutter, while the big downloads wait their turn. You get the speed and the smarts.

Your network, your rules

Take control of what happens on your network.

Because it's a managed business line, you get more than connectivity — you get control. Using Bequant deep-packet inspection (DPI), we tune the network to how your business actually works:

Block the time-wasters

Switch off social media, streaming or gaming on the work network — all the time, or just in business hours — to keep the team focused.

Prioritise what pays

Give your card machines, cloud accounting and VoIP first call on the line, so the tools that run your business never wait.

See what's really happening

Know exactly what's using your bandwidth and catch trouble early — no more guessing why the line feels slow.

Safety built in

A network that protects your business — automatically.

Viruses and malware don't just put your data at risk — they quietly flood your line with junk traffic and slow everyone down. So every techCONNECT line includes Whalebone.

It's a constantly-updated database of dangerous and suspect websites, compiled by the world's top security firms. If anyone on your network clicks a bad link, Whalebone blocks it before it loads — protecting your devices, your data and your bandwidth, with nothing to install.

Why we can promise this

Built for the Lowveld — and built to stay up.

Our own dedicated network

New business-grade equipment on our towers and at your site — a point-to-point link that's yours, not shared.

Loadshedding-resilient

Low-power gear on solar and battery, so your line stays up when the grid goes down.

Local, certified team

Our own certified installers, close by — on the phone and at your gate, even on weekends.

"techCONNECT provides our WiFi for our three Kruger lodges and our home/office — the most responsive IT support we have ever received. We judge suppliers by how they perform when things go wrong, and techCONNECT gets 10/10 in that critical test. 100% recommended."

Hester Fereirra
★★★★★

"I run a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week operation. What I really love is they're close by and a phone call away. Before, I'd wait days for someone from Nelspruit. Time literally is money — now I know if I call, they'll be here within hours, even on weekends!"

Amanda King
★★★★★

"Our entire IT infrastructure is run by techCONNECT. Before them we waited weeks for any IT support. Now they run our servers, PCs and internet and we haven't had a glitch since they arrived!"

Real story

A 400-hectare sugar farm near Malelane.

They had a 20Mbps line, office days lost to slow speeds, pumpstation telemetry and cameras dropping, and guest WiFi eating their bandwidth. We built a dedicated Air Fiber 100 link and split their network.

Questions

The honest answers.

Is it really free for 30 days?

Yes. R30,000 of equipment and R5,000 of service, installed at your site, free for the trial. Walk away at day 30 and we remove the hardware at no cost.

Will it disrupt my current internet?

No. It runs in parallel to your existing line — nothing gets switched off while you trial it.

What happens after 30 days?

You choose: a 24-month contract (the R30,000 hardware is yours, free), month-to-month (R30,000 hardware once-off), or walk away (R0).

Is it a dedicated line?

Yes — a point-to-point Air Fiber link to your site, not shared/contended with the neighbourhood.

What about loadshedding?

Our equipment runs on solar and battery and is low-power by design, so your line stays up when the grid goes down.

How fast can you install?

Our crew builds 4–6 new Air Fiber lines a month. Reach out early to hold a slot for next month.

Try it free for 30 days. Then decide.
