Internode has established a secure, caged area at its NSW data centre that Knight says offers guaranteed 24-hour access for the company and its customers, with server slots in full, half and one-third rack configurations.

Knight says that Internode’s Extreme SHDSL, or Symmetric High-speed Digital Subscriber Line services, deliver both downstream and upstream Internet access at “guaranteed speeds from five to 40 megabits per second (Mbps), adding that the fully-symmetrical service is for businesses that have outgrown the uplink capacity of their ADSL2+ Internet connection, but find optical fibre ethernet alternatives too expensive.

“The launch of Extreme SHDSL services in Sydney and Melbourne guarantees our customers the high-speed two-way Internet access increasingly needed by businesses for next generation applications such as IP Telephony, Internet Virtual Private Networks, onsite web services and IP videoconferencing.”

Internode says the Sydney exchanges from which Internode Extreme SHDSL services are available are Haymarket, Glebe, Pitt Street, North Ryde, City South and Kent Street, and in Melbourne from Batman, Lonsdale and Exhibition.

Knight says Internode Extreme SHDSL services start at 5 Mbps and scale all the way to 40 Mbps, with prices ranging from $700 per month for a 5 Mbps service with a 25-gigabyte download quota to a completely unlimited 40 Mbps service for $4,000 a month.
