<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CAPE TOWN – Internet service provider (ISP) Hypa at Vox has announced that it will be bringing Frogfoot RISE fibre connectivity to households in Vrygrond and Phillipi from July.

It enables access to information and can drive entrepreneurship. All our subscribers have access to uncapped Wi-Fi making it easy for the entire household to connect to the internet.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hypa’s National Sales Manager John Githinji says Hypa at Vox will be hiring and training salespeople from within the communities, supporting not only job creation but also more accessibility for the communities of Vrygrond and Phillipi.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“We have designed our offering to be as affordable as possible.&nbsp; We will also be announcing further value-adds in due course that will further help to provide services to the residents of Vrygrond and Phillipi that are inclusive.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ultimately, says Githinji, the mission is to bring the power of fibre into communities that have not had this access until now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Frogfoot Networks, a licensed open-access fibre network provider, announced last year that it would be piloting Frogfoot RISE, a prepaid, uncapped internet product that is designed to bring fibre connectivity to more South Africans. “We have known since we announced the pilot that the local stakeholders in and around Vrygrond and Phillipi play a crucial role in education, roll out of fibre, conducting activations and recharge campaigns, as well as network maintenance. Having Hypa widening the reach means more people will be able to join the virtual highways connecting communities. Hypa is an ISP that’s aligned with our mission,” says Frogfoot CEO Shane Chorley.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Hypa at Vox announces free accidental death and disability benefits for 30-day package customers – for an entire year

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johannesburg – Internet service provider (ISP) Hypa powered by Vox has announced that it is the first ISP in the country to offer death and disability cover to its customers in the affordable internet market – for free for an entire year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This first of its kind offering follows Hypa’s groundbreaking move in the affordable internet market when it launched its Bela product that includes 30 free voice minutes a month. Now, Hypa customers who are on the 30-day package get free accidental commuter death cover, and accidental disability cover for 365 days.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Made possible by Hypa powered by Vox in collaboration with Infussion Financial Services, a specialist provider that focuses exclusively on the affordable cover market with highly customised offerings, customers now have access to important insurance benefits that provide peace of mind in the event of death or disability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hypa’s National Sales Manager John Githinji explains. “With every 30-day package a customer between the ages of 18 and 65 purchases, they get free accidental commuter death cover of R25,000. This means if they are tragically killed in an accident on public transport such as a train or bus, the payout will benefit their families at a time of great hardship and financial strain.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Githinji explains that in addition to that cover, they also receive accidental death cover to the value of R12,500 and limited accidental disability cover.“</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The benefits are substantial, when one considers that buying insurance cover is often too expensive, leaving people exposed without cover. “Hypa has a mission to give back to the communities we connect, and that is why we carry the full cost of the cover on a monthly basis for up to 12 months as long as the customer is active with Hypa says Githinji.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the end of the year, if the customer wishes to continue with the cover, they then contract directly with Infussion Brokers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vox CEO Jacques du Toit says that Hypa is leading the charge in finding meaningful ways to give back to and engage with communities. “Hypa has seen phenomenal success in areas where there is less disposable income. This is what drives the business, and with the latest development it also means customers can access benefits that protect themselves and their families in the event of a tragic accident or death.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Githinji says that getting started is easy, and if someone wants to learn more they can do so by visiting <a href="https://hypa.co.za/insurance/">Insurance - Hypa Fibre</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
