- New telephone line connection $367.77 with a technician visit and cabling work
If you already have an active ADSL service, you may be eligible for a “fast churn”. In this case we will be able to transfer your service to us quicker. If your current supplier does not participate in the fast churn process, then we will need to activate your service as a new connection. We will charge you a fast churn fee of $35 and a $99 activation fee.
Broadband Usage Allowance And Charges
50GB monthly usage allowance (Cost of 1MB of data within Australia is $0.000976 per MB)
If you have chosen a shaped plan, once you have reached your usage allowance, the speed of your service will slow to 256kbps.
Usage means monthly download data transfer, 1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes.
Uploaded data is not counted towards your usage allowance.
If you have chosen an unshaped plan, excess data usage will be charged at $5.50 per GB in 1 Megabyte Increments.
Early Termination
There is an early termination fee (ETF). If you choose to cancel your service or it is disconnected for any reason within the 12 month contract term you will be charged an early termination fee comprised of your minimum monthly commitment as per your agreement with us multiplied by the months remaining in your contract.
Both components of the Bundle need to be active in order to receive the Bundle plan pricing.
OTHER INFORMATION
Connection Timeframes
Once we’ve accepted your application, we’ll try to connect your home phone service on the date you ask for, but this might not always be possible. If there has been a previous working home phone service at your property and we can reconnect it without having to visit your property, the local telephone exchange or anywhere in between, then we aim to connect the service within two working days of your request. If this isn’t possible, then we aim to connect your service within five to 15 working days, depending on your location.
Broadband Speeds
- ADSL can provide download speeds up to a maximum of 20Mbps to eligible customers in selected areas with upgraded exchanges and up to 8Mbps in many other areas but average speeds will be lower.
- Actual speeds you will receive will vary due to a number of factors such as your distance from an exchange, the network connecting the exchange, your equipment and software and internet traffic.
- Download speeds on devices connected via a Wi-Fi modem or network extender may be slower than on devices connected by Ethernet cable.
Billing
We will bill you in advance for the minimum monthly charge and features and in arrears for calls and data. Your first bill will include charges for part of the month from when you took up your plan until the end of that billing cycle, as well as the minimum monthly charge in advance for the next billing cycle.
