Vox MTN LTE-A Promotion: Double the FUP, Double the Fun This Festive Season

Posted on 1 January 20259 January 2025 by Chris Boshoff

With Vox and MTN LTE Uncapped Packages

In the spirit of giving back, Vox and MTN are running a fantastic Vox MTN LTE-A promotion to give you double the FUP, and more than double the fun.

“Double the what?” – yes, it’s a fair question.

In short, our promo gives you double the allocated data bundle, free of charge, till the end of January 2025.

Let’s see what you and your family can do with double the FUP when you sign up for a Vox MTN LTE Uncapped package.

But first – what does FUP actually mean?

To ensure fair use on the MTN network (and ISP networks in general), your maximum download and upload speeds will be adjusted if you consume more data in the specific month than the Fair Usage Policy, or FUP limit, of your selected plan.

This is called ‘speed throttling’ and it plays an important part of the FUP rules for your selected plan. If your Internet usage speed is throttled, you will still have use of the service at the adjusted rate until the next month, when your normal maximum speed is restored.

Let’s unpack it.

Sharing is Caring

This is how speed throttling works.

Imagine a multi-lane highway of holidaymakers all heading down to the coast. Everyone is keeping nicely to the rules of the road and sharing the infrastructure, except for a small group of road hogs swerving in and out of the lanes and taking up most of the road, trying to get there faster and inconveniencing everyone else in the process. Just because, you know, they’re ‘special’.

Because of their assumption that they own the road, everyone else is forced to repeatedly hit the brakes. And then, tada! – the Highway Police arrive and put a stop to their high jinks. While the road hogs are pulled over and put in their place, everyone else is able to continue travelling again at a decent speed, as per how the highway was designed to be used by all.

Well, FUP is all about making sure the Internet ‘highway’ is used fairly by everyone in a way that the designated infrastructure allows – and speed throttling plays an important part in doing this.

What’s FUP, Guys?

As outlined above, Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is a set of guidelines imposed by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to ensure fair and equal access to the Internet for all users. It’s designed to prevent network abuse and congestion by placing limits on the data usage of individual subscribers, especially at peak usage times.

If you use more than a certain, predetermined ‘fair’ amount of data in a given timeframe, your line speed could be slowed down during peak times to give other users fair access to the network.

In essence, FUP is designed to prevent a few users from hogging the available bandwidth, thereby causing shared services to become unavailable for others. And so, if you’ve ever found that your broadband speed has suddenly slowed down significantly, you might have just been FUPPED. You were one of the roadhogs!

Or, to put it in terms that might appear in your contract: “When you reach your FUP, your speed will be throttled up to 1Mbps.”

In simple terms, being throttled means that your upload and download speeds will be significantly reduced. You just got pulled over – except that the ISPs are nicer than the Highway Police and they let you off with a warning.

That’s because with FUP, your ISP doesn’t send you to jail and stop your Internet usage completely, but instead allows you to continue accessing the Internet and ‘keep on driving’ – just significantly slower for a while. By restricting individuals’ bandwidth, more people can use the Internet service at the same time.

The Convenience and Quality of LTE-A Connectivity

With high-speed, top-quality Internet access, Fixed LTE-A offers connectivity that provides near-Fibre like experiences, together with hassle free installation: a plug and play service means no waiting for fixed line installation.

In addition, where Fibre networks might take weeks or months to roll out and to install, Fixed LTE-A is a rapid order-to-installation product – whenever there is high-density Fixed LTE-A coverage, the time to deliver quality Internet access is between seven to 10 days – another win as we approach the festive season!

Enough Bandwidth for the Good Times

Many people are still on vacation quite late into January, after which they go back to school, varsity / college, and work. And so now we see the real advantage of signing up for the promo – increased data consumption! (And as mentioned previously – free of charge!)

Different apps have different data appetites – streaming on Netflix or Showmax in HD will consume more data than just reading an article online, and downloading a game eats up more data than actually playing it.

Here are some everyday activities that you and your family are likely to be doing more of at this time of the year, together with their possible hourly data consumption rates:

Web browsing: Approximately 50 to 70MB per hour.
Streaming video: High-definition (HD) video can consume up to 8GB per hour.
Online gaming: Up to 100MB per hour.
Social media: Platforms like Instagram and Facebook can use around 200MB per hour.

Vox and MTN Fixed LTE-A Promo Offerings

The current promotion applies to two of our Vox Fixed MTN LTE-A offerings, as follows:

Normal Offering:

R849 per month: Uncapped with normal FUP of 1,000GB (ie line speed is throttled back for the rest of the month when you / your household have used 1,000GB of data).
R499 per month: Uncapped 50MBps with normal FUP of 500GB (line speed is throttled for the rest of the month when 500GB of data usage is reached).

Promotional Offering:

During the promotion period, the Uncapped 1,000GB FUP offering will be extended to 2,000GB, and the uncapped 50Mbps FUP offering will be doubled to 1,000GB (1TB of data usage).

RICA documents will be required when ordering Vox Fixed MTN LTE-A and these are:

A certified copy of your ID; and
Proof of your residential address that is not older than three months.

A Great Start to the Year

With the Vox / MTN Uncapped LTE promotion, we’re offering you – free of charge – double the bandwidth before FUP is applied, on the specified packages.

No more slow internet
Stream without buffering
Connect to multiple smart devices
VoIP calling and lightning-fast connection
Efficient for going back to work and studies

Vox achieves Ruckus Elite Partner status: businesses to benefit from increased Wi-Fi performance

Posted on 12 June 202421 August 2024 by Craig Blignaut

As part of efforts to bolster the full bouquet of offerings and solutions it can build for businesses in South Africa, leading internet service provider Vox has announced that it has achieved Ruckus Elite Partner status as of the 2023 calendar year. Having selected Ruckus Networks, which has been early to market with the launch of a new Wi-Fi 7 enterprise solution, the Elite Partner status bolsters Vox’s ability to deliver reliable end-user experiences for businesses.

Ruckus Networks builds and delivers networks that outperform in an array of challenging and unique environments. Vox, which is renowned for building robust business connectivity solutions, has been building internal expertise with Ruckus technology over the past eight years.

“Vox delivers solutions that ultimately support the end user. Our solutions are made up of various aspects, including fibre, and Wi-Fi is an important part of a well-designed solution. The Ruckus platform has enabled us to bring robust connectivity to businesses because of its stability and reliability. This has been crucial to the trust we have built up as a brand. Achieving Elite Partner amplifies the value we can bring to our customers,” says Craig Blignaut, Product Manager: Wi-Fi at Vox.

Referring to the focused effort Vox has put into upskilling the business, Werner Wentzel, Territory Account Manager at Ruckus Networks says the relationship is mutually beneficial. “We share the aligned vision of bringing top-tier, reliable and robust solutions to end users in the country. Vox’s commitment over the past eight years has rightly culminated in the Elite Partner status,” he says. “Vox achieved the Top ISP in terms of sales in 2021 and 2022 and so the Elite Partner achievement builds on this momentum.”

Blignaut says that the status has resulted in a significant increase in partner engagement, and is supported by additional engineer certifications. He explains that there has been a mandated commitment in the business for staff to complete Ruckus training. This resulted in exponential growth of Ruckus products in the market through Vox. “This mutually beneficial relationship is obviously valuable to Vox and Ruckus, but it is incredibly important for the industry in terms of the indepth knowledge of Wi-Fi technology,” he says.

Ultimately, while celebrating the milestone is important, says Blignaut, the partner status will benefit businesses that need robust, reliable and future-proofed connectivity solutions. “As more and more devices become Wi-Fi 7 enabled, businesses will be able to enter the next wave of technology with confidence, building on the exceptional reliability they already have with our solutions generally, and the Ruckus platform specifically.”

Vox Weather grows to 100,000 followers and a reach of 37 million viewers in 18 months

Posted on 16 March 202322 March 2023 by Annette Botha

In just a year and a half since it launched, Vox Weather has grown to 100,000 dedicated followers and a reach of close to two million people on average per month, validating Vox’s belief that there was a glaring gap in South Africa for a dynamic, insights- and technology-driven weather platform.

Poised for more growth and partnerships, Vox Weather has welcomed an intern to learn from renowned meteorologist and weather presenter Annette Botha. Michelle Cordier is sure to play a pivotal role in the expected rapid growth of the platform.

“It is exciting to think that in such a short time we have hit the 100,000 follower mark across the board. These are loyal followers who log in and engage with the content because they trust us and see us as a reliable source. We are averaging more than 4,000 new followers every month and the reach is outstanding,” says Botha.

Vivica CEO Jacques du Toit, who announced the launch of Vox Weather in the second half of 2021, says that now that the country has seen what a holistic platform can deliver, over and above static weather forecasts, he expects Vox Weather to play an increasingly important role in people’s lives.

“As the country grapples with severe flooding, it is evident to many people that weather is about far more than whether it will rain today or not. And so, as we push ahead with Vox Weather, we seek to continue driving credible climate awareness and activism among South Africans generally, and the youth specifically.

“When we started out, it was important to have a qualified meteorologist present forecasts, not only to ensure Vox Weather was credible but also to inspire young people to pursue a career in the STEM subjects. With this in mind, we are excited to witness how the intern Michelle blossoms and grows under the mentorship of Annette, proving that there are meteorology career paths for young people, as well as the chance to drive climate activism. Because the platform is powered through social media, it gives the team the ability to listen to its audience, which has resulted in exciting opportunities and no doubt will lead to many more,” says Du Toit.

“In the agricultural sector, this is very important, because you don’t get something more personal than someone’s livelihood. This is a sensitive sector and you don’t want to tell farmers when it is time to plant and when they should cultivate. Rather, you want to provide a bigger and fuller picture that empowers them with information to support their decision-making, and this is how our partnership with Laeveld Agrochem started – to do a weather forecast specifically for the agricultural sector. This is the first-ever agriculture-specific weather forecast in South Africa, and besides all the positive feedback from all stakeholders, the farmers are happy and that’s what counts the most.”

Botha says that following the successful partnership with Laeveld Agrochem and the rapidly growing reach of the platform, many organisations contact Vox Weather to discuss potential projects and broader climate activism. “This is important to us, as one of our initial goals was to become a credible source of weather information. In 18 months, we have gone from an idea to the voice of weather in South Africa, and we are humbled by the support,” she says.

Botha adds that as part of Vox Weather’s mission to inspire young people to pursue STEM careers, they wanted to show young people that these careers didn’t need to be in researching academic papers, but could instead be fun, vibey and in touch with people, while still, 100% anchored in science.

“This is why we held our open day. Naturally, I could see that we were on a growth trajectory and would need a more hands-on deck. However, in addition to this, we wanted to show young people that platforms such as Vox Weather provide real career opportunities,” she says.

Cordier presented at the open day, and Botha says that the effort, research and passion that went into her presentation immediately resonated with the team. “She put in so much work, her presentation was genuinely insightful and she was honest and positive. I am excited to see her stretch herself, grow and develop her own personal brand of weather forecasting and presenting.”

Cordier says that her passion for the weather was ignited by a Geography teacher at school, and stuck with her all the way through her honours degree at the University of Pretoria. “However, during Covid, we learnt that the SA Weather Service would not be doing a forecasting course the following year. Naturally, I was heartbroken and thought my career wouldn’t happen. It’s at this time that I heard about Vox Weather and the opportunity to present ideas, and as they say, the rest is history.

“I am incredibly honoured to be part of the Vox Weather team and as we grow from strength to strength. I look forward to playing my part in bringing the voice of the weather to the people of South Africa.”

Driving digital inclusion – A Vox Connectivity Whitepaper

Posted on 7 February 20237 February 2023 by Theo van Zyl

Connectivity plays a vital role in our economy – from businesses keeping their systems live and responsive, to mines working out in remote areas, to households that need to support work-from-home and remote schooling. Beyond affordability, service providers need to double down on efforts to improve uptime and efficiency of their networks. However, during any discussion about connectivity, it is crucial to talk about affordable connectivity for areas that are not affluent. The digital divide prevents many communities from being competitive, whereas digital inclusion quite literally opens up a whole new world of opportunity and education.

qwerti whitepaper: The future of managed services

Posted on 25 January 202325 January 2023 by Craig Freer

Managed service providers (MSPs) have been around for long enough for most people to have a fairly solid understanding of what they do. While not always the best source for information,Wikipedia has a useful definition of managed services which leads succinctly to the point of this document. “Managed services is the practice of outsourcing the responsibility for maintaining, and anticipating need for, a range of processes and functions, ostensibly for the purpose of improved operations and reduced budgetary expenditures through the reduction of directly-employed staff.” That’s what MSPs have been known for and how their value has traditionally been measured. Those days are over.

Book your Azure Arc Demo with your Vox Account Manager Today!

Posted on 21 November 2022 by Jane Nyathi

“Azure Arc runs on both new and existing hardware, virtualization and Kubernetes platforms, IoT devices, and integrated systems.”

In simple terms? Azure Arc runs on any node with an IP address…

If you work in technology and are responsible for complex enterprise architecture, you’ve probably debated whether multi-cloud is a bad idea and design, or an anti-pattern good idea.

The reality, however, is somewhere in between. Experience has shown that, due to ever changing technology and a drive for continuous improvement, we can in fact both design for multi-cloud AND find ourselves within a multi-cloud environment.

Finding a unified solution is highly unlikely. When it comes to cloud providers, some platforms do certain things better than others whilst others integrate better with third-party systems. And, at the other end of the spectrum, sometimes on-premises solutions just work better!

Whatever the case, you will inevitably find yourself in a multi-cloud and hybrid environment. The tough part is managing all these resources on multiple platforms – which is where Microsoft Azure Arc steps in.

Azure Arc is compatible with other Cloud Solution providers. This gives businesses the ability to link resources together, allowing them to interact with each other. This, in turn, allows for managing scale, enabling automation, and optimizing the individual platforms’ capabilities. All in one common management and monitoring capability. Ultimately this allows you to make Azure Arc accessible to operations teams and management

Today, our customers can run their workloads where it makes sense for their business, With the growing complexity of technology, businesses can now implement Unified Operations and Management with Azure Arc. Starting with the workloads running outside of Azure, which can be onboarded and easily managed on Azure such as Windows, Linux, SQL, Kubernetes cluster, and many more.

This brings in a totally different dimension, one wherein all non-Azure machines are treated as resources in Azure once they are connected, giving your business that unified experience.

The Azure Arc unified experience allows the non-Azure machines to be managed inside a subscription and benefit from the standard Azure constructs, such as easily extending management services like Azure Policy monitor, Security center, and Azure Sentinel a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) which allows businesses to manage, govern and secure your hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

It’s impressive to see how Azure Arc accommodates servers on any infrastructure and allows businesses to take advantage of additional value such as Azure Security services and hands-on SQL assessments ensuring your databases are optimally altered. Azure Arc has given customers self-assurance when making an informed decision about cloud migration based on the data they received from the workloads. With zero human error, the data gives the precise ROI for moving particular workloads.

Given the huge investments customers have in Data Centre infrastructure and multiple cloud solutions, inevitably it can become overwhelming to manage everything all at once.

Azure Arc is an unmatched tool that can benefit your business, with data-driven migration, time-saving, reduced costs, deployments in seconds rather than hours, bringing down RTOs (recovery time objectives) scalability, always up-to-date cloud innovation, and most important regulatory compliance that give you peace of mind during audits.

Vox have qualified and dedicated Microsoft specialists that are armed with tremendous knowledge to help customers make their Hybrid environment work, understand the solution in place and help maximize and manage on-prem and cloud services through” A single pane of glass”.

Azure Arc gives businesses the flexibility to do all at once from Anywhere.

Let’s talk… 1Gbps Internet (and how you can use it).

Posted on 21 November 2022 by Suhail Dinat

They say time is money.

They say Data is power.

They say the key to success is a good Internet connection.

Just kidding. We made the last two up – but they do make sense and, in a post-pandemic world (with far fewer Zombies than we expected), they definitely hit home. For better or worse, we have definitively entered into a new digital age. An era where working from home is as common as a power outage in SA, where businesses require large amounts of easily accessible Data, and where your ability to move faster than a car guard when you hit reverse is as crucial to your organisational success as keeping the lights on.

Fact is that the working world has drastically shifted – seemingly overnight. From international conglomerates to local legacy businesses, successful organisations in 2022 have learned to recognise the importance of embracing this culture shift. Brands today require intelligent solutions which harness the full power of the Internet to maximise efficiency and enable sustainable growth. In doing so, their needs and demands have similarly increased exponentially. Cloud-computing, file sharing, Data exchanging, and pooled resources all play a role in the modern business – and key to this functioning smoothly is a universal need for Connectivity Solutions capable of handling these previously unforeseen demands.

Modern problems require modern solutions. And, as organisational demands have shifted to new levels, so too have the Internet Services available to assist them. Enter Gigabit Internet, which offers serious Connectivity for serious Connectivity needs.

First off – what is it, and why would my business possibly need it?

Much like working from home and wearing a mask in public, the concept of Gigabit Internet would surely have seemed ludicrous just a few short years ago.

However, as businesses have learned first-hand about the negative impact of inadequate bandwidth (think reduced productivity, slow downloads, and the organisational efficiency of Home Affairs), this demand for a serious upgrade capable of handling more advanced needs became increasingly common.

Many moons ago, we used to make do with dial-up Connectivity and speeds measured in Kbps. Today? Gigabit Solutions offer up to 1000 Megabits PER SECOND (1MB = 1000KB). It’s faster, it’s more stable, it offers unprecedented abilities to perform advanced business functions and, most importantly, provides a wealth of intangible benefits such as better performance, the ability for staff to excel, and your organisation to never be limited by Connectivity which won’t cooperate.

To put things into perspective: Imagine the possibilities when you factor in Data Sharing and Communications. When your office or team full of people, each connected simultaneously, can go about their business with essentially no delays. It’s an unprecedented level of efficiency and offers Connectivity capable of standing toe-to-toe with even the most demanding environments – we would classify it as the future of FTTB, but the reality is that this is the present

But, you ask, this seems excessive – do I really need this? In fact, who would?

We get that a lot. If you’re an organisation which transmits a lot of Data, chances are you can benefit immensely from Gigabit Internet. Think media houses who constantly upload to the Cloud. Think a directory or website of services (rhymes with “WeBuyBras”) who perpetually interact with interchangeable Data. Think Crypto and Web Development on a large scale. Think Cloud Services and Backups. Think any mid-to-large organisation who would thrive in a world where things worked faster, safer, and more efficiently. The possibilities are endless, and the benefits? Well, here’s but a few:

More reliable Connectivity, less prone to outside interference, outages, and downtime.
The ability to handle a large number of users or devices with minimal interference.
Facilitates a high dependency on Cloud for maximised productivity.
Working with large files or content? You’ll never have issues again.
Improved levels of online communication, collaboration and connection.
Better, more reliable packet delivery.
Room for maximised growth and flexibility.

Sold yet? Here’s the pitch…

You’re probably thinking, “great, you’re offering Pentagon level Line Speeds – but it’ll also cause a National Security Threat to my budget”.

Quite the contrary. In fact, it’s even on promotion. As part of our Big Bandwidth Year End Promo, we’re offering 1Gbps Internet (and the millions of possibilities it presents) marked down from R11 999.00 to R8999.00. That’s unmatched Connectivity available for a monthly rental cheaper than a PS5, iPhone from 2 years ago, or a quarter tank of petrol.

With this, you get:

Uncapped Data
8 FREE Concurrent, Uncapped, Outbound Voice Channels.
16 Free Concurrent Inbound Voice Channels
100 FREE Hosted PBX Extensions.
2 Mbps Dedicated Voice VLAN
24/7/365 Support.

It’s enough to turn any business from “staying in the race” to “miles ahead of the rest”. Make no mistake, this is serious Internet for organisations serious about putting their best foot forward and truly embracing the new normal. It’s faster, more powerful, and able to handle more Data – if connectivity solutions were a team of heroes, this one would be Superman.

(Side Note: If you’re Interested in serious Internet but don’t want to go all out, we’ve also reduced our 500Mbps line from R10 499 to R8499).

So… if you’re ready to step into the future of Connectivity (significantly before any of your competition does) and face the dawn of a new era of Internet, look no further. Gigabit Internet is the here, the now and the tomorrow – so let’s give your business the power it deserves.

Have you Heard of Microsoft Azure Arc?

Posted on 15 November 2022 by Suhail Dinat

The world as we know it has permanently shifted, in doing so wholly embracing the digital revolution. Gone are the days of conventional workspaces, operations, and ‘clock-in, clock-out’ environments with rigid systems and methodologies. In its place is a more fluid, digitised and Hybrid Multi-Cloud world – one containing organisations which accept and embrace this new way of living.

It’s largely been a case of adapt-or-die in this newfound era of technological advancement but, for the most part, organisations have learned to embrace this need for flexibility. In doing so, they’ve similarly come to understand that brands in 2022 require the ability to innovate anywhere, anytime and adapt to ever-evolving business needs in a perpetually changing environment.

That being said, it’s also a challenging time – and no challenge is greater than managing and securing said environments within stable, Cloud-Native applications.

Say hello to Azure Arc: which simplifies this process to make your entire production more feasible.

To put it simply, Azure Arc is effectively an array of Microsoft Cloud Technologies designed to extend your existing Azure Management and Services. It allows you apply Azure Services to any organisational infrastructure – enabling your business to modernize Datacenters and extend to the Edge with IoT. It effectively takes an already thriving, existing system and multiplies its effectiveness by infinity – in doing so unlocking more scenarios and benefits for customers across the board.

In a nutshell, Azure Arc extends Microsoft Cloud Services and best practices across your entire organisation. Furthermore, this allows you as a customer to run Azure services within any Kubernetes environment (from on-premises to Multi-Cloud and at the Edge). So advanced and effective is this technology, that it’s been successfully implemented by global monoliths such as Ford, KPMG, Ferguson, and SKF – to name but a few.

In its present form, the current wealth of Azure Arc services has added a few strings to its bow, namely:

Azure Machine Learning: an enterprise-grade services which enables Data Scientists to build, deploy and manage machine learning models.
This effectively allows a user to harness the full potential of Azure capabilities, extending it to Machine Learning Capabilities within Hybrid and Multi-Cloud environments. Yes, it does sound a bit ‘end-of-world’ at first, but what it actually does is revolutionise the way Data is utilised.
Clients can train their systems to operate directly where Data is stored whilst still utilising your existing infrastructure. This creates more mobile, informed Data processing, reduces unnecessary movement, and still fully complies with security requirements across the board.

All it takes is one click for a Data Scientist to use the tools at their disposal effectively. From there, the possibilities are endless, as you’re able to build machine learning models which are consistent, dependable, and able to operate anywhere.

But wait, there’s more to Azure Arc…

Build Cloud Native Environments for your organisation as you choose, and at any scale.
Centrally code and deploy your Cloud-Native Applications Securely while applying this management to any existing infrastructure.
Collaboration with Nutanix allows for a consistent, reliable, Hybrid/Multi-Cloud Solution which serves only to enhance to Azure experience.

Through Azure, Microsoft is able to meet your business halfway and offer you unprecedented innovative possibilities. Effectively utilization of said platform is your gateway to bringing new solutions to life.

In today’s diverse, ever expanding working world, organisations need to strive for modern solutions which meet current brand challenges – and this range of applications is key to this. Enjoy a more dynamic organisational future without outdating your existing infrastructure – it’s all in a day’s work with Azure Arc.

But first – what does FUP actually mean?
