Findinternet

We run free public WiFi in South Africa.

Findinternet is part of Counet (Pty) Ltd. We built Counet Connect, the sign-in page people see when they join the free WiFi at one of our venues.

Getting online costs the visitor nothing.

What a visitor sees

Every venue has a router that sends new devices to the same sign-in page. It takes a few seconds to get through, and people see it every time they connect.

Internet at home

The portal also helps people who don't have internet at home find a provider that covers their area.

"Say hi for home WiFi"

A lot of people use public WiFi because they don't have internet at home. The portal has a button that opens WhatsApp so they can say hi to our bot. Sending that message, or ticking the box on the sign-up form, is them asking to be contacted. The bot then:

  1. asks them to share their home's location,
  2. checks it against the coverage maps of the internet providers we work with,
  3. if it's covered, takes their name and the best time to call,
  4. passes that to the provider as a sales lead.

How we treat people's details

We follow South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Nobody has to agree to marketing to use the free WiFi.

  • We only contact people who askHome-internet follow-ups go only to people who messaged us, ticked the box or filled in the form on this page.
  • We don't sell phone numbersA lead goes only to the provider covering that person's home. Replying "stop" ends the messages.
  • We keep as little as we canWe store what we need to run the WiFi and clear old records on a schedule.
