The high cost of international capacity was the main driver behind Pipe Networks' announcement of a plan to build it own international fibre link to Guam, and Telstra has also announced plans for its own cable to the US, to break the monopoly presently held by Southern Cross on a direct Australia-US link. Pipe said earlier this year that it expected to make a final decision in May on whether to go ahead with the project, but no announcement has yet been made. Featured Whitepaper

The SOHO-1500-Power90 and SOHO-High-Power90 are the equivalents for SOHO users but with 90 instead of 80Gbps and costing $179.95 and $169.95 per month respectively.

Customers of the HOME-512-Value ($54.95 & 20Gb) , HOME-1500-Power10 ($54.95 & 10Gb) , SOHO-512-Starter ($64.95 with 10Gb), SOHO-512-Standard ($74.95 & 20Gb) SOHO-1500-Power10 ($74.95 & 10Gb) will be hit with a $5 per month increase. Also, the $39.95 per month HOME-512-Starter plan has had its download quota cut from 8Gb to 5Gb per month. Internode has also introduced a number of new plans to give users more flexibility in matching their requirements with their budget. The changes will take effect for existing customers from 1st July 2007 but will not be applied to regional customers under regional subsidy schemes or customers whose services are in a negotiated business services term agreement.{moscomment} |
