Critical Information Summary

nbn™ Starter 12Mbps/1Mbps

Information About The Service

The National Broadband Network (nbn Co™) is an Australian national wholesale open-access data network project with both wired, and radio communication components being rolled out and operated by nbn Co™. Rationales for this national telecommunications infrastructure project included replacing the existing copper cable telephony network which is approaching end of life with fibre, and the rapidly growing demand for internet access to support a growing range of services. This service is to provide an unlimited downloads/uploads nbn™ internet connection at a speed of 12Mbps/1Mbps.


Contract Term

We provide nbn™ services with a $0 set up fee if the service is contracted to a 24 month plan. We offer flexibility in our plans, in that we are able to provide a month to month service with no cancellation fees, however this will incur a $174 set up fee. If you nominate a 24 month contract for your service and decide to terminate the contract early, you will be required to pay the early termination fee, determinable at the time of notice. The maximum charge will vary, subject to contract duration, and the remainder of time left in contract at the time of cancellation. The maximum early termination charge payable is equal to (number of months remaining in contract) x (monthly connection charge).


Serviceability

nbn™ plans are subject to serviceability in accordance with the roll out by nbn Co™. Please request a service qualification prior to ordering an nbn™ service to ensure your location is eligible for the nbn™.

Other Information


Monthly Usage

We only offer an unlimited download/upload nbn™ 12Mbps/1Mbps service.


Speed

We provide the unlimited nbn™ 12Mbps/1Mbps service at a speed of 12Mbps download, and 1Mbps upload. These speeds are maximum connection speeds as based on carrier network testing. Actual throughput speeds may be slower and could vary due to many factors including type of content being downloaded, hardware and software configuration & the number of users simultaneously using the network. Devices connected by Wi-Fi may experience slower speeds than those connected by Ethernet cable. We do however have a low contention rate on our network, which can provide a more consistent speed than popular service providers.


Payment

Monthly access charges are billed on the 24th day of each month, a month in advance. Payment options include credit or debit card, direct deposit and cheque. Please view payment options in the ‘Compliance’ document found at the bottom of this page.

If you require a compatible router for your nbn™ 12Mbps/1Mbps service we are able to supply, configure and send out a router, ready to connect and use, for $330.00 including GST. The router provided is a Fritz Box 7490 nbn™ compatible Router. You are able to source and use your own network equipment with this service.
