Vox Lifetime Deal vs Fiber

I have been reading a lot about individuals that took the Vox price for life special deal on DSL some time ago using that same account on newly laid Openserve Fiber (because it also operated on IPC inherently? - i dunno, im no expert in this type of thing at all). When i first realized it was possible i was extremely excited as i didn't really want to let something like that go, but seemed it just one of those things. Paying R159 a month for 300Gb, and still got 2TB in rollover saved up. Been trying to get in touch with the fellas who said they were doing it, but don't want to derail another thread, so thought id make a new post about it.

How would i go about making this happen? I just need the Fiber installed to my house, as OS is active in my complex, but they are providing me zero help when i query them, in turn instructing me constantly to contact my ISP about the issue,saying they wholesale to ISPs and all installation, etc must go through them. Pretty sure if i go and tell Vox i want to keep using my current special DSL data package but on a Fiber line they will say i cant and force me to take a more expensive Fiber one. But there are people saying they are doing it. Any ideas?

Regards

Put your Vox ppoe login details into a router with a wan port - I have the Vox special and works like a dream on openserve fiber

Ask for Garth . It is a line with 10 gig of data

Thanks, ill read up some. Don't even need 100mb. Was thinking 20/10. Just don't wanna pay 3k or something ridiculous just to get a line in. They are already in our complex. The unit next to mine had theirs put in last week.

Does this only work on Openserve fibre? I have the Vox "lifetime deal" and will be getting Vumatel fibre sometime in the coming months. Would be awesome if I could use this account.

Unfortunately from what i understand its only Openserve, as they run on something thats the same as DSL, IPC or somethin, not a fundi with this
