No longer merely providing software, hardware and accessories for tech-savvy consumers, the Phoenix Distribution group of companies has added to its portfolio by becoming an Internet service provider (ISP).
“We have always prided ourselves on being the best at setting and raising the bar in the effective distribution of technology, and the launch of the PXNet ISP is a great opportunity to take our offering to the next level,” says Simon Campbell-Young, CEO of Phoenix Distribution.
Partnering with ISP specialist, Branded Internet, Phoenix Distribution will be providing its customers unique opportunities to connect to the Internet through several product choices. The initial product offerings include options on ADSL lines, free unlimited 24-hour customer support, as well as 100MB e-mail boxes with anti-virus and anti-spam scanning. PXNet customers will also benefit from some of the lowest rates in South Africa, as a 1GB ADSL connection costs just R17 for the first six months of subscription.
Branded Internet, an outsourced ISP management company, specialises in white label ISP services such as those enabling the PXNet offering. Branded Internet has provided the products, back-end systems, telephonic support and billing, and was responsible for tailoring this service to Phoenix Distribution's needs.
“Thanks to Branded Internet's ability to offer a complete turnkey outsource solution and deliver top quality service to their customers through their systems and call centre, we will now be proudly extending these service advantages to our customers too,” says Campbell-Young.
“With Branded Internet's infrastructure, technical support and level of professionalism, they have provided us with a strong sense of security. Aggressive pricing, promotional specials, product bundles and advertising always see good results, and these are some of the benefits we are seeing by partnering with Branded Internet."
"We have gone to great lengths to provide an ISP product which has exceptional products and levels of service, many of which are firsts for the South African market," says Lance Terner, CEO of Branded Internet. “Our offering is a great match for Phoenix Distribution's needs, and the needs of their customers.”
