The FTTH network at Alamanda has been rollout out by Opticomm, which operates the network on an open-access basis - meaning that any ISP which chooses to provide services over it can do so. According to Opticomm, Primus is due to start offering services shortly and Optus and Exetel in Q1 of 2010.

iiNet's prices start at $49.95 for a 25Mbps downstream, 1Mbps upstream service with a 5GB data quota (uploaded and download included). A 50/2Mbps services with 55 or 80GB cost $99.95 and $119.95 respectively. A 100/5 service costs $139.95 with 90GB an $159.95 with 150GB. There is no peak/ off-peak discrimination and the service includes deliver of free to air TV, pay TV, telephony.

Internode's pricing offers the same bandwidth increments but its data quotas are downloads only. The top of the range 100/5Mbps plan with 100GB costs $184.95 per month and a 50/2Mbps plan with 75GB costs $144.95.

Both providers offer a wide range of content, quota- free, including the ABC's iView.
