Internode says it’s taking advantage of a reduction in data transfer costs afforded by the new fibre-optic link between Australia and the Pacific Island of Guam to boost data quotas and lower plan costs to its customers.Featured Whitepaper

Internode managing director, Simon Hackett, said today the company was able to deliver “more value to customers because of the increased capacity and lower costs delivered by PIPE’s new PPC-1 Pacific cable. “We’re passing on the PIPE benefits to customers by increasing download quotas across the board.” According to Hackett, Internode has “reshaped and simplified its broadband plan table by launching more than 40 new plans with boosted data quotas for established price points and culling more than 80 redundant plans from its line-up. “Internode today provides customers using its most popular plan, Internode Easy Broadband, with an automatic 66 per cent data quota upgrade – an increase from 30 gigabytes (GB) to 50 GB per month – effective from their next plan rollover date.” Hackett said Internode has also introduced “new plans at $10 below previous SOHO Extreme and SOHO NakedExtreme plan price points,” and he claims the company’s customers can choose from a wide range of new plans with “more generous download quotas or decide to stay on their existing plan, even those that are no longer available for purchase.” Hackett claims business customers also benefit, with major quota boosts across the higher speed ADSL2+ range, including a new 200-GB option. |
