Dodo is also being rather generous with the speed claim, billing it as "typically a maximum of 24Mbps." This is the theoretical maximum: a typical service will never achieve this. Dodo's home phone plans start from $32.90 per month for line rental only. Plans including calls start from $59.90 per month for line rental and $60.00 worth of calls. However getting precise data on call rates from the Dodo website is not easy. Some plans claim caps of $1.95 on national, international and calls to mobiles, but iTWire could not locate a per minute rate or if there was a flagfall charge. Dodo says there will be no cost for set up and installation however there will be a charge for the supply of a modem unless the customer can provide their own. For customers who cannot or do not want ADSL2+ broadband, Dodo is also offering free dial-up internet access with any of its home phone plans. Dodo claims to be the fifth largest ISP in Australia. It employs more than 300 staff and claims more than 300,000 residential and business customers Australia-wide. {moscomment} |
