Crunching the Business Numbers: Big Five, Big Four and Now Big Three

Why connectivity isn’t just a line – it’s the backbone of your business

Connectivity today is no longer just a simple line to the internet – it’s a robust network to ensure that daily operations run smoothly.

What’s in a number? What do we think of when we hear the phrases ‘Big Five’, ‘Big Four’ and ‘Big Three’? And what does ‘Big Three’ have to do with the successful running of your business?

The first answer is easy, at least for South Africans. Just say ‘Big Five’ and visions of lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo appear – some of Africa’s most iconic and dangerous wildlife species. We regard them so highly here in South Africa that they all live on our bank notes!

Big Five

As for the term ‘Big Four’, we generally think about SA’s traditional four biggest banks. (Although do watch out for the competitor snapping at your heels – we all know the names.)

But what about the ‘Big Three’? What does that have to do with your business, and what does your modern business need to run effectively?

 

The Utilities Needed Today

From a purely utilities perspective, modern businesses have always required access to electricity and water as baseline conditions, which are necessary in the background for them to run effectively and be positioned for growth.

Today, these two important utilities must also include a third one, namely internet connectivity as well. Not only that, but a company’s connectivity must be both fast and stable – the days of ADSL lines are arguably now the dinosaur days, at least at the enterprise level.

Super-fast and stable connectivity is now a necessity, not a ‘nice to have’ – and it could arguably also have become the most important of the new ‘Big Three’ for your business.

Consider this:

  • No electricity for hours or days at a time? It’s always extremely inconvenient and annoying, but alternative power sources do exist, as businesses across South Africa discovered during the dark days of Eskom (pun intended). Certainly, sometimes the high cost of alternative power sources (generators, for example) definitely ate into the profits, but staying connected was the literal price of a company’s survival, when many company owners had to settle simply for staying in business until better days returned.
  • No water? It’s also deeply inconvenient, but again, plans can arguably be made for non-industrial businesses at ad hoc moments, for example enabling a remote work force where possible, and buying water for those left on-site as required.
  • No fast and stable internet? This is more complicated. Connectivity is the backbone of modern business, functioning as a foundational asset that links people, systems and data. When it’s not stable or fast enough, growth is made more challenging.

 

In short, we can argue that connectivity is the backbone of your business, and it’s critical for growth.

 

Simply Inconceivable Without Lightning-Fast Connectivity

Connectivity Isn’t Just a Line - It’s the Backbone of Your Business

Connectivity today is no longer just a simple line to the internet – it’s a robust network to ensure that daily operations run smoothly.

Business-grade connectivity requires a robust network to ensure that daily operations are seamless, from enabling real-time collaboration to Voice over Internet Protocol (VOiP) technology for your company’s internal and external communications, to processing payments… and the list goes on.

As outlined previously, enterprise-level companies also require significant speed.

We look at some of the reasons why business-grade connectivity is the new player in the utilities team.

 

Connectivity: The Backbone of your Business

Connectivity

Connectivity is the foundation for operational continuity: it prevents downtime, and provides ‘always-on’ infrastructure, which allows uninterrupted access to Cloud-based tools and applications, which are essential for modern business operations.

A properly set up network enables backup and redundant paths, as well as enhanced security measures (for example encryption and firewalls) which protect against costly downtime and cyber threats (see here for Vox’s cybersecurity solutions).

In addition, modern connectivity also enables digital transformation, including maximising the power of AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) for automation, real-time data analysis and proactive maintenance. Moving operations to the Cloud requires high-speed, low-latency connections to ensure data is accessible and secure. In addition, investing in high-speed, scalable connectivity such as Fibre ensures that your infrastructure can grow as your business expands.

Modern connectivity enables productivity and collaboration by allowing for remote / hybrid work, while also ensuring that departments can remain connected for seamless collaboration on projects and data.

And finally, from the perspective of the customer, fast, secure and stable connections ensure that websites and e-commerce platforms operate smoothly, preventing lost sales due to slow load times or downtime.

Reliable connectivity also allows for immediate customer service, such as live chats and social media support, which can improve satisfaction and loyalty, while high-speed, secure connections provide real-time access to customer data, enabling targeted and personalised marketing.

In today’s digital-first world, a strong internet connection isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Robust connectivity allows your entire organisation to communicate and function effectively. Whether you’re running a small local office or managing a distributed remote team, your ability to stay connected determines how effectively you can serve clients, collaborate and see business growth.

One Final Note

There are many reasons why Internet networks fail, including congestion, physical damage to the Fibre, area outages, planned or emergency maintenance, router issues, DDoS attacks, malware on devices, outdated software on customer equipment, and more.

Did you know that Vox offers state-of-the-art failover solutions, to ensure that your business connectivity is always on? Failover options keep your services running when faults or outages happen.

Vox offers passive-active as well as active-active failover options – click here to find out more. It’s just the Vox way of ensuring that our role in your business’s ‘Big Three’ utilities doesn’t ever need to go down!

The Small Consistent Actions that Change Lives

People of Vox: Brian Rossouw

At Vox, we believe our employees are the beating heart of our company, with merit and value built into all our available positions. In this edition of People of Vox, we find out more about Brian Rossouw, who is Vox’s Regional Sales Manager for Mpumalanga and Limpopo. When you meet Brian, you notice straight away how warm and funny he is, with an incredibly positive attitude.

As Vox’s Regional Sales Manager for Mpumalanga and Limpopo, Brian’s daily work sits where sales leadership meets customer experience. In addition to chasing targets and working on quotations, his daily purpose includes solving problems and creating consistent momentum, for both customers and his team members.

Before joining Vox three years ago, Brian worked in retail and telecommunications. He’s experienced a number of curveballs and challenges during his lifetime, but instead of using former hardships as an excuse to throw in the towel or feel sorry for himself, he has let those experiences shape his approach to work and leadership.

Let’s meet Brian and find out more about his amazing work ethic.

 

Juggling His First Job with His Final School Exams

Brian actually began his adult working life while he was still writing his matric final examinations. “When I was growing up,” he says, “my family was extremely poor, and my mom sometimes struggled to make ends meet. But, you know, God has always been good to us and I believe that He always had a plan for us. I knew that just as soon as I was able, I was going to start working to try and help her and my siblings.”

An opportunity arose when Brian was offered a short-term contract job as a picker-packer for a company that supplied frozen fish to restaurants. He explains: “It was a bit problematic because of the clash with my final school exam period, but I took the job to help my family. It was challenging – I was working the night shift in freezers that were about 10 degrees Celsius below freezing point! – but I managed.

“During the day, I would study and write my exams, and then I would work the night shift until about four or five o’clock in the morning. I’d get back home, study a bit or sleep if I could, depending on my exam schedule…. It was tough, but I made it through!”

After matric, Brian was able to find more permanent work and later landed up selling tech accessories in stores.

Young Brian | Vox | The Small Consistent Actions that Change Lives
Young Brian already knows the importance of having fun at work!

“These early jobs were tough but formative,” he says. “They taught me resilience, humility and the value of small, steady steps. Taking consistent small actions is a personal philosophy for me, which I like to describe with the acronym ACSA: ‘Attitude and Consistent Small Actions’. I believe this mantra will help with achieving success in any realm in this world but I find it especially helpful within the sales arena.”

Brian believes everyone has the potential within them to change the world for the better. He elaborates: “And if you don’t have the power to change the world, at least change your world for the better!”

 

Human Connection: The Competitive Advantage

Brian describes himself as someone who creates ‘magic’ for customers when things go wrong. He treats each problem like an opportunity to deliver exceptional customer experience and to show his team how to close the loop properly.

For Brian, attitude includes emotional resilience and the ability to keep going when prospects are difficult or rejection happens. “I believe that attitude is a choice: you own how you feel and react, and resilient people outlast obstacles,” he says. “Consistent small actions are the daily disciplines that compound into success: making calls, following leads, refining quotes and improving process detail. “

Brian wants those he leads to cultivate emotional resilience, and he also believes in leadership as a teaching opportunity.

“I want to model the behaviour that I expect from my team members: doing the work, being present for others, and demonstrating how to handle objections and close deals. I’m proud to be in the role I once looked up to, and I enjoy helping others to climb the same ladder.”

Brian’s day starts early: he’s in the office at 07:00, reviewing sales interactions, quote volumes and order accuracy for every team member. From 08:00 Brian meets the team, unpacks individual performance and looks for the precise actions that will turn a weak day into a better one tomorrow. He spends the rest of the day in meetings, solving customer queries, planning strategic projects for multi-dwelling units and liaising with stakeholders. His role combines hands-on sales with coaching and troubleshooting.

For Brian, the best part of his job is the people he works with. He says: “People matter above all: customers, colleagues and the communities around them. I find people fascinating – how everybody is different and has a different story to tell. And in the work environment, human connection is a competitive advantage. While it’s true that AI and automation is bringing uncertainty, my advice remains the same: build adaptable skills, stay curious and focus on the human capabilities that technology cannot replace.

“My favourite success story is about a team member who could not write one quote in four months; after coaching, encouragement and steady accountability, this person became a top performer nationally. That is the essence of consistent small actions – you don’t need overnight successes; instead, you need persistence.”

 

Why Vox? The Human Difference

Brian believes that the combination of customer care and front-line coaching is what sets Vox apart, together with its people.

“Vox employs a direct sales force, with employees out in the field who represent Vox, not outsourced contractors,” he says. “This human connection matters. Customers speak to someone who knows the product, owns the process and cares about the outcome. For me, this is a defining advantage: it makes Vox personal, accountable and responsive.”

He also values how Vox embraces newcomers, explaining that when he joined the company, product managers and colleagues reached out to help him learn. He says: “This culture of openness and ownership impressed me, because not every company welcomes new starters with that level of support. My colleagues are incredibly generous and will always go the extra mile.”

Brian Photo 1 | Vox | The Small Consistent Actions that Change Lives

One of Brian’s most memorable Vox experiences was a team event in Nelspruit where colleagues from across Mpumalanga gathered for training, laughter and community. After a day of face-to-face coaching and team building, the group sang together late into the evening. He explains: “It was a spontaneous moment of unity that moved me deeply, and reinforced my conviction that beyond metrics and targets, shared human experiences build a stronger company culture.”

 

Ending on a Positive Note…

Outside the office, his family life gives Brian his solid foundations. He lives with his wife Fanisia, and two young daughters, Klara and Donné, who are around three and one years old currently, and spends most evenings with his family after work.

He explains: “Most days, I work until just after four o’clock, and then I go and pick up the two most beautiful children in this world – and lucky enough they are also my children, otherwise that could be a bit awkward!” he laughs.

Brian Family | Vox | The Small Consistent Actions that Change Lives

“I can’t imagine a life without my children – when it comes to kids, you just can’t fake those feelings. They are little now, but when my daughters are bigger, it’s my ambition to travel with my wife later in life, and we would like to alternate time between developing and developed countries on a three-month global trip,” he says.

Brian is also community-minded. He once chaired a Round Table chapter and helped raised significant funds – over R10 million – for local charities in Mpumalanga, which is a reminder that his leadership extends beyond the sales floor.

He adds: “My ultimate aspiration at Vox is simple but also ambitious: I’d like to be known as the person who brings positivity to every room, and as a leader who inspires others day after day. And I definitely don’t believe in ‘pity parties’ – throw yourself a pity party if you must, but make sure it’s on a tourist visa and doesn’t take up permanent residency!”

And with that blend of honesty and humour, Brian sums up his attitude to life: acknowledging life’s difficult moments while always keeping his eyes on solutions.

Easing Into 2026 Gently with Vox

Switching back into work mode, after weeks of not looking at computer screens or checking messages regularly, is usually tough for most people. So be kind to yourself – with Vox as your partner – as you continue making the transition into 2026.

SA’s energy has shifted from sun-and-fun mode into normal gear again – otherwise known as ‘The Great Back-to-Work Depression’! As holidaymakers everywhere started going home, and the road and air traffic got moving in earnest, there was a sense of new beginnings but also some simultaneous low morale.

And with the December bonuses long spent, ‘Janu-worry’ (and now even ‘Febru-worry!‘) became a reality for most of us; a bit like the Springbok Bomb Squad sent in to take charge of the game: basically unstoppable, oh dear… The good news is that there are still practical ways that we can all use to regain focus and build positive momentum in these early weeks of 2026.

And so, whether you’re turning on your digital screens or closing them again at the end of the day, Vox is here to help you make the most of this still-new year.

 

Staying Mentally Balanced as You Re-Embrace Work

yoga 4565903 640 | Vox | Easing Into 2026 Gently with Vox

Here are some ways to embrace normality and make life easier for yourself once more.

Hint: None of it is really rocket science, but common sense is all about being like the Nike ads and just doing it!

  • Prepare in advance: Whether you’re working remotely or going into the office physically, it’s always useful to organise your calendar, plan meals or your work outfit, and make sure you get enough sleep.
  • Organise your workspace: Especially when you’re returning to your tasks and responsibilities, a clean, structured environment – both physical and digital – can calm your mind and boost your productivity.
  • Block out time: Try to stop your days from being swallowed up by too many meetings by ensuring that you have some time set aside to do or plan important tasks.
  • Decide what truly matters: Not every email will require immediate action, so you could create a priority list to take control of your workload. Ask yourself: right now is it truly urgent, or less important? This useful method, which uses the Urgent vs Important matrix methodology, might help you decide how to prioritise getting stuff done.

 

Ensuring Your Connectivity

So why not ease yourself into 2026 gently with Vox as your partner, for your back-to-work hours as well as your down time?

May your early 2026 moments be as smooth as the natural Greek yoghurt that’s currently still a big part of your eating plan – and good luck with that too!

Perseverance and Tenacity: A Golden Thread at Work, in Life

People of Vox: Spotlight on Dylan Lockwood

At Vox, we believe our employees are the beating heart of our company, with merit and value built into all our available positions. In this edition of People of Vox, we meet Dylan Lockwood, who works in the Sales Department as a Key Account Manager. He combines business discipline, insight and steady habits with the physical and mental discipline of ultra‑endurance sport, which helps him to tackle life with incredible energy and enthusiasm.

It’s not every day you meet someone prepared to take on a race that’s 100 miles long – and no, that wasn’t a typing error; the sentence is correctly saying ‘miles’ and not ‘kilometres’ (which is obviously what we in South Africa are more used to seeing). Let’s meet Dylan Lockwood, a Key Account Manager at Vox.

Dylan is one of an elite group of athletes who takes on the traditional ultramarathon challenge – and then runs significantly further! We find out more about what inspires and motivates Dylan, both at work and when he’s out running in nature.

“Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it.” ~ Oprah Winfrey

 

A Trusted Adviser to his Clients

Having spent his early years in Johannesburg, Dylan today is based in Sea Point, Cape Town, with almost three years at Vox under his belt. His colleagues admire him for balancing his work responsibilities with a deep commitment to endurance sports (more on this later).

While Vox is widely known for providing Connectivity and Voice solutions, Dylan’s role is to identify additional opportunities for his 70 or so enterprise clients, across the full Vox offering. In this way, he’s able to enhance their business experience overall, potentially introducing additional offerings such as firewalls, Wi‑Fi, audiovisual (AV), hardware and Microsoft licensing into the overall product suite.

He explains: “My job is to be the customer’s first point of contact, and their trusted adviser. I don’t need to be a specialist in every product offered by Vox, but I do need to understand the breadth of offerings well enough to guide clients and facilitate their access to the right product managers. My job combines technical understanding with relationship management.”

Two lessons stand out for Dylan: “Firstly,” he says, “don’t take things personally – in client service, it’s critical to separate out negative emotion from the work. Secondly, it’s important to build strong daily habits. For me, consistency is the backbone of success. I like to start the day reliably, prioritise the activities that move the dial and trust the process when complex deals take months to land.”

He’s very happy working for Vox today, but if Dylan had had access to a fortune teller when he was still studying, he would probably have been surprised to see the company’s distinctive bright green branding pulsing out from the traditional crystal ball.

Life Before Vox: Not Quite a Linear Process

Dylan’s journey after school didn’t entirely follow his originally intended path. Having first studied for a BCom in Industrial Psychology, Dylan later completed an Honours degree in Business Management while working full time: “This experience taught me how to juggle heavy workloads and study commitments!” he says.

His early career was in corporate sales with the Bidvest Group, where he discovered his deep love for the sales arena. Bidvest then sponsored further studies at Wits Business School, and he used this learning experience to further enhance his commercial skills.

He realised quite early in his career that he wasn’t entirely happy living in Joburg, especially as his love of endurance sports began to grow. He explains: “I’ve been quite active and sporty since I was at school, and when I started working in my first full-time corporate job, I found myself looking for a challenge outside work. I began exploring endurance sports when a friend persuaded me to enter a half Ironman race (70.3 miles) in 2017.

“Initially I was nervous about not having had enough time to prepare, but I was able to complete the event, which involved an ocean swim, bike ride and half‑marathon run, and from then on, I was hooked on the idea of participating in a sport that really pushes you to define your limits! I got into trail running and mountain biking and while I was based in Joburg, I rode the 947 Ride Joburg cycle race a couple of times. This helped to grow my interest in moving to Cape Town, where so much of the lifestyle is focused on nature and the outdoors.”

Dylan Lockwood 8 1 | Vox | Perseverance and Tenacity: A Golden Thread at Work, in Life

A move to remote work then allowed him to move to the Western Cape: Dylan took a role as branch strategist for a consumer review platform, which allowed him to relocate. After a year of remote working, he wanted to return to a more corporate role, which is when he was able to join Vox.

What Sets Vox Apart?

Dylan highlights two things that he believes differentiate Vox in the ISP market: the ability to deliver full turnkey solutions and the calibre of people. He explains: “Vox can supply connectivity, telephony, licensing, cabling and hardware, in other words, everything that a new business might need, and this breadth of service – our ability to offer more than just Fibre – is a competitive advantage.

FTTB Web Banner Mobile Nov25 | Vox | Perseverance and Tenacity: A Golden Thread at Work, in Life

“The other thing that I think differentiates us from our competitors is the people. I’ve had the opportunity to work in such an amazing team, including my line manager, Vanessa, and our fantastic sales administrator, Fagmidah. I’m immensely grateful for all the help and support from all my colleagues, who have often gone out of their way to support me.”

Challenges Along the Way

Dylan is candid about learning to deal with a particular health challenge – he lives with a chronic hearing condition in the form of tinnitus, which causes a constant high‑pitched ringing in his ears.

“The condition struck when I was about 21, and it initially created a big challenge in both my sleeping patterns, and being able to focus in meetings. The doctors I saw told me that it was something I unfortunately had to learn to live with. Mindfulness meditation became an essential tool and over time I’ve learned to manage the condition, so that it now affects me significantly less.”

Fortunately, Dylan’s love of running and outdoor sports also plays a role in helping him to manage the condition, and here again he’s grateful to be based in the Western Cape.

From Triathlon Rookie to 100‑Mile Finisher

Today, the easy access to the Cape’s beautiful scenery has allowed Dylan to embrace the unique enjoyment of ultra-distance trail running.

He explains: “I was expecting to continue my triathlon journey when I moved to Cape Town, and especially my mountain biking interest. But when I moved here, being so close to the mountains, I realised that the Cape outdoors is probably more ‘runner friendly’ than ‘mountain bike friendly’, and this was when trail running in the mountains opened up a wonderful new experience for me, offering me a sense of truest freedom.”

Shortly before joining Vox, Dylan completed the UTCT 100-kilometre ultra-trail race. He’s since taken it to the next level, and after six months of intense training, he recently tackled the UTCT 100-mile (165 kilometre) trail race, which started at 17:00 on a Friday afternoon, and finished on Sunday morning of the same weekend.

Race image | Vox | Perseverance and Tenacity: A Golden Thread at Work, in Life

The course loops around the Cape Peninsula in a figure‑of‑eight, starting and ending at Gardens Rugby Club, taking runners over Lion’s Head, Signal Hill and Table Mountain, through Llandudno, Kommetjie and Simon’s Town. Dylan recalls running through the night on Table Mountain with a head torch as being a surreal highlight, a part of the race he described as “brutal” but unforgettable.

This gruelling 36‑hour feat showcased the same perseverance that he brings to his work. He explains: “I find that what I’ve learned during the preparation for these races, as well as what I learn on the race day, overflows into my personal and professional life. As a whole, it just makes my life better and easier – it gives my mind the tools that it needs to work hard and persevere.”

It all comes together to weave a tale that embraces Dylan’s professional achievements together with his passion and determination to push boundaries. Looking ahead, his personal goals include completing a number of additional trail races, such as the world-renowned Otter Trail in the Garden Route; snowboarding in Japan; and ultimately becoming a dad. He also aims to be Vox Key Account Manager of the Year one day, which is a career target that keeps him motivated.

In running, as in life, there are people who go the distance, and then there are those who go beyond. Dylan goes way, way beyond – both in life and in running. He truly embodies the Vox spirit – bold, committed and unstoppable!

Which Vox Internet Option is Best for You this Holiday Season?

Staying connected as end-of-year down-time arrives

Our summer stories are starting to happen and the end of the year is really here! But even when we’ve packed our suitcases and made sure the pets are taken care of while we move into down-time, we still want (and need) to stay connected this holiday season.

Summer in South Africa means more streaming, online shopping and banking, video calls with family and online gaming – so choosing the right home Internet, and being aware of Internet options offered by your holiday location, can have an impact on your festive connectivity.

The good news is that, just as we all want a variety of ice cream options at the beach, so Vox has a connectivity option – and speed – to suit every home this holiday season. And in the spirit of the holiday season, we’re running some current and ongoing promotions to sweeten the deal even further.

Vox offers a mix of Fibre, Fixed Wireless, LTE/5G and Satellite options, with each option suited to different needs. So here’s a guide to help you pick the best option for your home, do your research on your holiday Connectivity options, and also make the most of current Vox promotions.

Let’s take a look.

wifi 2 | Vox | Which Vox Internet Option is Best for You this Holiday Season?

 

Fibre To the Home: Best for Top Speed and Reliability

Fibre to the Home delivers high-speed, low-latency Internet directly into your home (or holiday home).

Benefits include very fast symmetrical speeds, which is excellent for 4K streaming, multiple devices and video calls. Uncapped options are available and performance is consistent.

  • It’s ideal for large households, heavy streamers, gamers, households with multiple remote workers (if you must work during the holidays! or when the holiday season is over…).
  • Availability depends on Fibre rollout in your neighbourhood. Installation may take time in new areas.

 

Current promotions linked to Vox Fibre to the Home include Vox Rewards and Fibre Frenzy!

Vox Rewards

  • Vox Rewards is our super-exciting, recently-launched loyalty programme for qualifying Vox customers, offering perks and rewards for staying connected with Vox through home fibre connections. Depending on the tier that you qualify for, you could enjoy a variety of discounts and savings on groceries, fashion, takeaways, tech, travel and more! See vox.co.za/vox-rewards for eligibility and benefits.
  • Fibre Frenzy is a limited-time campaign on Vox’s Home Fibre packages so do check vox.co.za for current Fibre Frenzy deals and exact terms – you can also click on this link for more information.
  • For landlords providing Connectivity to guests, check out our Guest Wi-Fi hospitality bundle.

 

LTE / 5G Mobile Broadband: Flexible and Quick to Set Up

holiday Internet South Africa

LTE / 5G uses mobile networks (LTE or 5G) to deliver Internet to a home router or portable device.

Benefits include fast setup and mobile flexibility. This option is suitable for temporary needs or where Fibre isn’t available yet. 5G can offer very high speeds in covered areas.

  • It’s ideal for urban areas with strong 4G/5G coverage as well as short-term stays and holiday homes.
  • Speed and latency depend on mobile network coverage and local congestion; fairness policies may apply depending on the package.
  • Vox and Telkom are currently running our Uncapped LTE promotion, starting from R589 per month, and including a pocket router as a R199 once-off – check it out.

 

Fixed Wireless (Licensed or Unlicensed Spectrum): Dependable Rural and Suburban Option

fixed Wireless home Internet

Fixed Wireless using microwave signals provides a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint radio link between a home-mounted antenna and a local tower. Its benefits include good speeds and stable connections where Fibre isn’t laid, but line-of-sight to a tower exists. It is often faster and provides a lower latency than Satellite.

  • It’s ideal for suburbs, small towns and rural areas with a Vox radio site nearby.
  • Fixed Wireless requires a professional site survey and performance depends on line-of-sight availability and network capacity.
  • You can find out more on Vox Fixed Wireless to the Home.

 

Satellite: Providing Coverage where Nothing Else Reaches

Satellite Internet South Africa

Internet delivered via Satellite dishes is ideal for remote or rural properties beyond terrestrial networks. Its benefits include coverage that is available almost anywhere, making it perfect for some coastal areas, farms and remote homes, including holiday rentals.

  • It’s ideal for houses outside Fibre and mobile coverage areas, where connectivity is otherwise unavailable.
  • Higher latency means that it’s not ideal for competitive gaming. In addition, weather can affect reliability, and costs/data policies may be higher than terrestrial options.
  • Find out more on Satellite connectivity.

 

Considerations for the Holidays (and Beyond)

A few factors should be considered as you think about your Connectivity options for the holiday season and even next year, if you want to take advantage of our Vox Rewards programme.

 

Vox launches Kiwi Wireless

  • If you stream 4K, game and have many users, Fibre is your best bet.
  • If you need a quick setup or a temporary solution, LTE/5G works well.
  • If you’re in a small town or on the fringe of Fibre rollout, Fixed Wireless often gives the best compromise of speed and reliability.
  • If you’re remote and need coverage regardless of location, Satellite is the reliable fallback.

 

Practical Tips Before You Switch

Vox usually runs localised or seasonal promotions (discounted installation, bonus data or limited-time bundle savings). Check the Vox website regularly, including the promotions pages, for the most up-to-date specials and Ts and Cs. Here are some tips:

  • Check coverage: Use the coverage tool on vox.co.za to see what’s available at your address.
  • Match package to use requirements: Choose speeds that suit your household’s peak usage.
  • Ask about promos: Promotions can change monthly, so ask a Vox consultant about current offers and how long they run, and you can also check here.

 

Check coverage and current Fibre Frenzy or Vox Rewards offers at vox.co.za or on the latest deals page, or call Vox Consumer Support on 087 805 0530 for a personalised recommendation.

South Africans work hard and they play hard also, and never more than during our end-of-year summer holiday season! Stay connected with Vox – we have a solution for your location and your needs, no matter what time of year it is.

FAQs

Which Vox option is best for streaming and gaming during the holidays?

Vox Rewards is a loyalty programme for qualifying customers. Visit vox.co.za/vox-rewards to see eligibility and benefits.

What is Fibre Frenzy?
Fibre Frenzy is Vox’s limited-time promotion on selected Fibre packages. Check the Vox website for exact bundles and promotional periods.

How do I know if Fibre is available at my home?
Use the coverage checker on vox.co.za or contact Vox support to confirm availability for your address.

Is Satellite Internet good for a holiday home?
Yes, Satellite brings connectivity to remote holiday homes, though latency and weather impact should be considered.

Can I use LTE/5G as a permanent home solution?
Yes, in areas with strong coverage LTE/5G can be a permanent solution, especially where Fibre isn’t available, but check data fairness policies.

How long does installation take for Fibre or fixed Wireless?
Installation times vary by location and demand — ask Vox for a projected install date when you sign up.

Can I switch between Vox services if I move or change needs?
Yes. Vox offers different home connectivity products and can advise on switching based on coverage and your new address.

Harnessing Technology’s Power to Transform Lives

Meet our Experts: Spotlight on Theo van Zyl

At Vox, we value, support and actively engage people with the levels of expertise that we require to keep us moving forward as a company. In this edition of ‘Meet our Experts’, we find out more about Theo van Zyl, who heads up the Wireless Department. Theo reflects on a lifelong relationship with communications technology, his journey into product leadership and his ambitions for extending connectivity across South Africa.

 

“The thing was called ‘fire’, and it was brought back to the cave by Og the inventor, who said he found it eating a tree. You had to keep it in a little cage of stones, he said.” ~ From ‘How It All Began…’ by Terry Pratchett

Question: What do Theo van Zyl, Head of Wireless at Vox, and Og the Inventor, also known as ‘the first caveman to cultivate fire’ and brought to us by author Terry Pratchett, both have in common?

Answer: They are both obsessed with the latest technology of the day, and how it can be used to help people and improve their lives.

fire 925573 640 1 | Vox | Harnessing Technology’s Power to Transform Lives

(Editor’s note: You can read the short story of Og and his lifelong quest to master early technology here. Be warned: you will probably laugh out loud.)

Moving onto a more serious note…

People have been fascinated by the technology of the day for as long as we’ve been human, and for Theo, a life-long and highly practical love of technology began when he was still a child. Today, as Vox’s Head of Wireless, he is focused on building nimble teams and customer-first products, as well as bringing affordable connectivity to South Africa’s citizens, no matter where they are in the country.

We speak to Theo and find out more about how technology is front and centre in his life, both at work and at home, on a daily basis.

 

Telecomms in His Veins

Theo was still in primary school when his passion for electronics and communication began, and he describes fixing radios and building circuits as a child.

How and Why Wonder Books 1 | Vox | Harnessing Technology’s Power to Transform Lives

“My interest started with the ‘How and Why’ book range, especially electronics,” he explains. “As a child, I built electronic projects that did actually work, and I was always dismantling electronic equipment to understand the underlying processes. As a teenager, I made pocket money by repairing and building electronic circuit boards.”

That early curiosity matured into technical depth across analogue telephony, telex, data modems and later fibre, LTE and satellite. He also studied e‑commerce at Unisa and was involved in early online billing and payment gateway projects. His breadth of experience shows through in his product approach: he is comfortable with legacy systems and keen on combining them with modern ideas.

 

A Multi-Disciplinary and Empowering Team Leader

With more than three decades’ experience, including some 15 years heading up another ISP, Theo is a veteran of the telecommunications industry.

He explains: “From running around fixing analogue data copper line services, I have also spent time as a lecturer in data communications, mathematics and electronics. I then moved into practical roles in electronic data interchange, IP network design and product management across multiple disciplines – which is what I love the most, and where I’ve now been for around 25 years.”

He says: “Today, my job focus includes defining product strategies and managing the life cycles of products, leading the Wireless product team members, and ensuring that company strategic and financial goals are met. A key piece of the puzzle in delivering an end-to-end product portfolio includes cross-functional collaboration with areas across the business, including systems, marketing, PR, sales, channels, finance, networks and service delivery.”

Theo aims to keep his team at a manageable size so he can stay engaged with each area without losing control. He leads a compact team, organised around specialist areas, as follows: “Craig oversees Wi‑Fi for both consumer and enterprise; Chris and Kaylee look after LTE, 5G and APN products; Kathleen manages satellite services; Nikita handles microwave wireless; and Kolofelo manages manual feasibilities and operational tickets.”

Daily work for Theo is very collaborative. He coaches and empowers his team, preferring to avoid micromanagement, and values bringing the broader team together to get multiple perspectives on a problem: “Micromanagement kills creativity,” he says. “I prefer to give people the freedom to try, possibly fail, and learn. I actively support piloting and experimentation, provided it doesn’t breach regulatory or company policy!”

 

Vox and Theo: The Perfect Fit

With Theo’s leadership characterised by empowerment, rapid decision‑making and a tolerance for well‑informed risk, he was understandably drawn to Vox’s culture and strategy, which embraces being nimble and cultivating a low‑red‑tape environment that gets things done quickly.

“Here at Vox, if the boss says do it, then you do it because you know you have the go-ahead!” he notes, contrasting Vox with organisations that can take 18 months to bring a product to market.

“This ability to act rapidly, combined with a collaborative culture where colleagues readily help each other, is what I value most. At Vox, things happen fast. I believe we are better positioned than many competitors because we can move quickly, learn speedily from experiments that don’t work, and then try another approach if need be.”

IMG 20250730 093846 | Vox | Harnessing Technology’s Power to Transform Lives

Theo positions product management as an end‑to‑end responsibility: “As our esteemed CEO, Jacques du Toit, is known to clarify, ‘You need to be the CEO of your own product’, meaning end to end, across every cost, every vendor, every customer interaction.

“This means being hands-on across finances, marketing, vendor relationships, costing, sales enablement and customer experience. Customer experience is also a priority: if internal processes let customers down, product teams must own the problem, resolve a customer’s issues, and implement improvements into future workflows.”

 

Affordable LEO Connectivity for Wider Access

“Technology is teaching us to be human again… the ability to witness and experience the lives of others anywhere around the world, often in real-time, awakens in us our innate empathy for each other.” ~Simon Mainwaring, businessman and author

Theo has a vision of being part of the rollout of affordable connectivity to rural and underserved communities through Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite services. He describes this as being a major personal and professional ambition: getting low‑cost, operational LEO services into South Africa so that rural citizens can access connectivity comparable to urban Fibre or LTE users.

Untitled design 2023 12 06T151826.790 1 | Vox | Harnessing Technology’s Power to Transform Lives

“I believe Vox is uniquely positioned to pursue this and capable of delivering services, with the success of GEO services bearing testimony to this. I am confident that Vox can achieve our goal of bringing connectivity to all rural citizens over time,” he says.

“I am passionate about the amazing possibilities that LEO satellite services could bring to the people of South Africa, bringing excellent connectivity to anyone across the country, no matter how remote they might be. My ambition is to launch an affordable LEO service so that rural South Africans can access connectivity the same way people in towns do.”

 

Hobbies and Hacking (You Can’t Make This Stuff Up…)

Away from work, Theo is an enthusiastic electronics hobbyist and home automation enthusiast. In the past, he’s also embraced amateur radio activity: he holds a ZR licence and recalls sending data between computers over radio long before dial‑up became widespread.

He has spent the last decade building smart home systems that incorporate voice‑enabled control for gates, lights, pool pumps, alarms and energy monitoring using remote cloud management, and is proficient at integrating different ecosystems such as Alexa and Google. For Theo, it’s not just a hobby but shows his passion for telecommunications in the workplace now brought into the home environment: “Home automation is not a gimmick for me – it’s about integrating ecosystems to make life easier and more efficient.”

smart home 2769210 640 1 | Vox | Harnessing Technology’s Power to Transform Lives

He’s walking the talk, in other words. He’s also been known to carry out at least one ethical hack in his time….

Theo once accessed a public Wi‑Fi system that was not secure when he was eating out at a restaurant in Brooklyn, Pretoria. Realising that their Wi-Fi was vulnerable, and being a regular at the restaurant, he quickly hacked into their system while browsing through the menu: “I printed a warning on the restaurant’s printer and alerted the waiter at my table about the need to separate their guest and internal networks…”

(Editor’s note: So, not your average customer when waiting tables then!)

professional caterer writing clients orders notepad bill 1 | Vox | Harnessing Technology’s Power to Transform Lives
“Excuse me, but I think you just said that you hacked the restaurant’s Wi-Fi system, did I hear you correctly?”

The astonished waiter alerted the manager on duty and needless to say, the next time Theo went to eat there, the Wi-Fi network was significantly upgraded and stronger – although knowing Theo, he could probably have got in again if he’d really wanted to…

The incident underscores his practical focus on security and the real risks of poorly configured public Wi‑Fi.

It also underscores the fact that Theo really does know what he’s talking about – he combines deep technical knowledge with a pragmatic, people‑centred and fundamentally caring approach to launching and scaling services in a rapidly evolving connectivity landscape.

“I am grateful that my experience in the industry, starting with analogue telephones, telex machines, data modems and growing into today’s technology gave me exposure to areas that I never thought I would ever be involved in,” he says. “At Vox I can leverage on that experience and influence and create products that are customer centric and deliver real value, to help change and improve people’s lives.”

And just like the short story mentioned at the beginning: Isn’t technology and progress amazing?! Here at Vox, we are grateful for people like Theo who help us to keep moving forward. Never change, Theo!

“…several up-and-coming young apemen had got the idea and they invented Civilisation – eventually. The village grew. Some of the open plain was turned into fields. Pretty soon hunters like Hal were beginning to look a bit foolish. That’s how it all began.” ~ From ‘How It All Began…’ by Terry Pratchett

Vox Launches Kiwi Wireless to Bring Fibre-like Broadband to South African Homes

Uncapped, unshaped data with no fair use policies, Kiwi Wireless is about to change the face of connectivity in South Africa

Vox, a specialist provider of top-class internet and voice solutions for homes and business, has announced the launch of Vox Kiwi Home Wireless, a new consumer broadband service that delivers a fibre-like experience without the need for trenching or cabling. Powered by Tarana’s next-generation technology, Kiwi offers speeds of 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and up to 200 Mbps, on an uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled line.

Fibre-like Speeds where Fibre Can’t Reach

Designed for South African households that don’t have access to fibre and where installation is prohibitively slow or expensive, Kiwi Wireless offers customers a simpler wireless alternative. One that delivers exceptional connectivity without the need for extensive infrastructure or disruption.

“Consumers have told us that they want fibre-quality internet without the hassle and with no fair-use policies or unpredictable throttling,” said Nikita Appelman, Product Manager for Wireless at Vox.

“Vox Kiwi Home Wireless is a smooth and simple alternative to disruptive trenching or fibre installation delays, offering consistent, high-quality connectivity people can rely on. Installation is also painless – a small, flat panel antenna is mounted on the roof connected to a router inside the home.”

The result is consistent connectivity for streaming, remote work, online learning and smart home devices, without the disruption of trenching or digging.

Affordable Costing

Vox Kiwi Home Wireless is also launching at an affordable price point, making it an accessible choice for consumers. It costs R849 per month for the 50 Mbps service with installation priced at just R999 as a once-off fee.

This upfront cost is competitive, lowering the barrier to entry for households wanting a trusted connectivity solution that doesn’t leave their wallet gasping. The 100 Mbps service is available for R1,039 a month and it is possible to upgrade to the 200 Mbps option if the home fits specific conditions, such as proximity to high sites.

Vox has a proven track record. The Service spans more than five million homes across South Africa, spanning both major metros and smaller towns.

Vox Kiwi Home Wireless is giving South Africans more choice,” says Appelman. “If you can’t get fibre or you don’t want the wait and disruption that comes with installing fibre, then you can use Kiwi to get connected almost immediately. The service is fast and consistent and is designed to deliver high-quality connectivity.”

Vox Kiwi Home Wireless with the Vox backing, brings unmatched quality and reliability and a   fresh and innovative new product offering to the South African consumer.

Available to order from 19 November 2025, with installations handled directly by Vox’s national support and service teams, Kiwi Wireless is the perfect fit for consumers who want access to the digital lifestyle without having to hurry up and wait for fibre.

Kiwi Wireless offers choice – a way to access a modern, connected lifestyle even when fibre isn’t feasible. With transparent pricing and uncapped data, it’s a practical, future‑ready option for many South African homes.

Launching Vox Rewards!

A Little Help Goes a Long Way

We’re living in turbulent times, and many of us are getting hammered (financially) on all fronts. And so Vox is proud to be the first local ISP to offer our customers, both new and existing, a brand-new…

*drum roll*

*it-really-doesn’t-get-much-better than this*

loyalty programme, named Vox Rewards, which is guaranteed to help you stretch those Rands, and put a bit of sense back into your monthly budget!

Vox loyalty programme

Our favourite local blogger, The Good Things Guy, has also commented on how cash-strapped many South Africans are right now – does any of this sound familiar?

  • Picking which bill will go unpaid this month;
  • Choosing cheaper options in the grocery store;
  • Cutting back on data; and
  • Skipping meals (when you’re not on a diet)?

 

If none of the above apply to you right now, then they could surely mean something to someone you know?

wallet 3548021 1280 | Vox | Launching Vox Rewards!

Perhaps these scenarios are also familiar:

  • Persuading your carnivorous teenagers that ‘meat-free Mondays’ should be done for the household grocery budget as well as the planet;
  • Scouring online ads for specials (coffee!); and
  • Not being offended when you get offered the pensioner discount at the till, when you’re still some years off retirement age.

 

The struggle is real.

And so Vox is thrilled to announce the launch of Vox Rewards, which is being offered to both our new and existing Home Fibre clients. Designed in tiers – you can work your way up the levels – Vox Rewards will offer our customers access to thousands of Rands in monthly savings, discounts, vouchers and coupons from some of South Africa’s favourite brands!

The Rewards available will vary depending on the tier that you’re on, but include the following from some of our favourite local brands:

  • Enjoy up to R1,250 monthly in grocery savings (tier dependent);
  • Tickle your tastebuds with discounts on takeout;
  • Enjoy deals on travel, tech and gadgets, and online stationery;
  • Empower yourself with savings on online learning;
  • Get access to free legal or medical advice; and
  • Put your best fashion-foot forward with fashion retailers.

 

Vox Rewards

At Vox, we’re working together to help you navigate the challenges of the economy, and put real savings back into your pocket.

Now you can once again make ‘meat-free Mondays’ a personal choice, and not a financial survival strategy.
