Internode invades Telstra space launching rival Fibre service
 |
Once the prized domain of Telstra, Internode Fibre to the Home (FTTH) service, known as Reach Fibre Access Broadband, (FAB) will now be available at more than 125 greenfield developments across Australia.
The launch of Internode’s FAB plans will give consumers who could only buy fibre services through Telstra, choice, the iiNet-owned telco said today.
Check out the full greenfield list here:
The new greenfield site spans all seven states.
Reach FAB plans are available on a monthly contract, with a $99 setup fee, although this is discarded if you sign up to a 24 month plan.
Plans with a data allocation of 30GB at 30/1Mbps start at $49 ($39 bundled), with 75GB at $69, while higher tiers boast speeds of 100/5 Mbps and cost up to $109 for 205GB.
The Reach FAB service must be purchased with an associated landline phone service – either Internode’s NodeLine, or a service from a third party provider.
The minimum price for an Internode Reach FAB service is $138.95, comprising of the once-only $99 setup fee, plus one month’s rental for the Reach FAB Mid 30 plan when bundled with a NodeLine landline telephone service, which starts from $29.95.
Internode’s optional Power Packs (an extra $10 a month) or a Business Pack (an extra $30 a month) can also be added on to suit needs.
“Previously residents could only buy their (FTTH) service through Telstra. Now they have more choice when it comes to choosing their broadband provider,” says Internode Product Manager, Jim Kellett.
But Telstra still has some involvement with the rival service. Internode’s new service will be connected via Telstra ‘Velocity’ fibre, following an agreement between the ISP and Telstra Wholesale.
