MAXITEC started in 1997 as a local Point of Presence (POP) for Interlink - one of the first Internet Service Providers (ISP's) in South Africa to supply commercial, dial-up services to consumers. The opportunity arose to obtain full control of the local POP when Interlink sold its client base to M-Web, a few years later. From this humble start, the company has grown to become a fully fledged, National ISP, providing premier services to a broad range of customers anywhere in South Africa.
