No on-site technical support or change in consumer premise\nequipment (CPE) is required for customers taking advantage of the offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Vox will\ngive customers of the promotional plan access to their Uncapped Voice Service\nfor R172 per month including VAT, allowing subscribers with a dedicated voice\nchannel the ability to make an unlimited number of voice calls to any number in\nSouth Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSatellite internet\nsubscribers, usually based in underserviced or unserviced areas, have long\nsuffered from a lack of choice,\u201d added Visser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis promotional plan is\na quantum leap forward for these customers, by providing them with connectivity\nat speeds and prices similar to that of alternative services such as wireless.
