French term or phrase: vers les box

Aujourd’hui, plus de 3,5 millions de foyers reçoivent les chaînes de télévision grâce à XXX. La puissance du câble permet à XXX de proposer :
Une offre Internet puissante, jusqu’à 100 Méga (selon les zones géographiques)
Une offre de téléphone illimité vers les postes fixes en France Métropolitaine, y compris vers les **box**, ainsi que vers plus de 50 destinations internationales.

I wasn't able to find any information on the net in this context. Could it be a mobile phone??

the boxes of the different ASDL service providers

Explanation:
explanation:

the "box" is literally the gadget you get when you subscribe to any one of the main providers in France (Free, Alice, Orange, Darty, and lots more).. With the deals they offer, you can scrap your landline and use their services as part of a fixed price - I'm sure you have the same thing where you live

Examples:

Darty deploys its offer on cable and on DSL technologies. The ADSL offer is based on Completel France operator's network. ..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darty#DartyBox

Notes to answerer

Asker: It makes perfect sense now that you've explained it - a decoder of sorts? Do you think I could get away with 'box' as a translation?

Asker: Many thanks for your help. I would have used your answer were it not for SJLD's answer which you agreed with.
