DStv Launches New Internet Provider Called ‘DStv Internet’
DStv Launches New Internet Provider Called ‘DStv Internet’. In a bid to get more South African homes connected, MultiChoice has announced the launch of DStv Internet to provide internet access to those who do not have access to fibre services. DStv Internet is a fixed wireless access service, which means that customers can now get connected to the internet with a SIM card and Wi-Fi router – a perfect option for those who do not have fibre in their residential area but want to access the internet regularly using various devices in their home.
“Customer experience is at the forefront of MultiChoice’s continued product innovation. DStv Internet provides South Africans with connectivity for all their household internet requirements, giving them more convenience and choice,” Nyiko Shiburi, Chief Executive Officer of MultiChoice South Africa said in a statement. The company wants customers to be able to choose from three data packages, which are 25GB, 110GB, and 220GB. DStv customers have the benefit of choosing from bundle offerings that include data options with their DStv subscription package, making it easier to stream their favourite content on any internet-connected device.
“Great speed on its own is no longer enough, consumers demand more. In a time when people spend more time online than ever before, Wi-Fi management and security of their home network and parental controls around children’s behaviour online have become increasingly important services for operators to provide,” Shane McCarthy, COO of Video Entertainment at Irdeto said in a statement. “Trusted Home by Irdeto and Minim is beneficial for both operators as well as consumers, and we are pleased to be able to provide this to MultiChoice and their customers.”
With the expansion to internet providing services MTN has been selected as MultiChoice’s network partner. “We are proud to partner with Multichoice to enhance access to digital services in South Africa. As a network wholesale provider, we are gearing up to serve the broader digital eco-system to ensure that more people can benefit from a modern and connected life,” Quintus De Beer, Executive for Managed Network Services at MTNSA said in a statement.
