New customer installations include free installation and connection.<\/p>\n<p>As one of the ISPs who have come on board to offer this unprecedented pricing and line-speed offering to its customers, Swanepoel says that this announcement has been met with incredible enthusiasm for the market. \u201cOur driving force is not only connecting as many South Africans to the magic of the internet possible \u2013 a value that we share and align closely with Vuma on, hence this incredible partnership \u2013 but also making the customer experience as smooth and positive as it can be. This is what truly sets us apart in the market,\u201d he says. \u201cThis never-before-seen pricing removes a major barrier to entry for so many South Africans, a frequent drawback that we are sincerely passionate about addressing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amid so much uncertainty and mounting socio-economic woes in South Africa, high-speed fibre internet has the potential to create opportunities that keep communities connected, children learning, and businesses productive by enabling remote work.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the closely forged relationship and shared mindset between Vuma as a fibre provider, and RocketNet as a burgeoning ISP, has seen a direct business impact and results for an organisation, who have built a reputation for their customer passion and strong company culture. \u201cOur customers know we will do whatever is necessary to keep them connected, including our whole team joining together for an all-hands-on-deck approach to resolving queries or customer issues,\u201d Swanepoel continues.<\/p>\n<p>Testament to RocketNet\u2019s growing presence in the market since its\u2019 inception in 2016, is the majority of cancellations comprising almost exclusively to customers immigrating, moving home, or \u2013 unfortunately \u2013 having to cut their day-to-day costs in an embattled time for South Africa\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>RocketNet\u2019s incredible growth in the market has seen the company invest in technology that adds value to customers, including their intuitive RocketNet probe app, which puts in control of slow fibre internet diagnosis. The app works by connecting the user with a support agent, whereafter the probe app pinpoints areas for connectivity improvement. This app has become their customers\u2019 first port of call for any connectivity issues, and the company accredits its successful rollout to its simplicity and user-friendliness.<\/p>\n<p>Vuma adds that in addition to offering more value to its loyal customers, its permanent line speed upgrades and price decreases are part of the company\u2019s intentional vision to connect all South Africans to the opportunities that the internet offers. Vuma is playing their part in the essential collective mission to bridge the digital divide in the country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">151<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/homegrown-rocketnet-unbreaks-the-internet\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
