Internode has reduced by $10 the monthly fee for its Easy Naked broadband plan and has extended coverage. It has also revived an ADSL2+ resale agreement with Optus.

The Easy Naked plan now offers ADSL2+ broadband with a 70GB data quota for $59.95 per month. Easy Naked delivers ADSL2+ broadband over a phone line with no dial-tone.

Internode has also extended the coverage to offer the service from an addition 200 plus exchanges through its resale agreement with Optus. It now claims to offer the service  "in most metropolitan areas across Australia."

Internode has also announced other enhancements to Easy Naked: a doubling of the above quota bandwidth to 128kbps up and downstream, and for customers on Internode DSLAMs, the option to upgrade to ADSL2+ Annex M which provides greater upstream bandwidth. Also, a new Naked ADSL 'Transfer' signup option "makes it even easier to move an existing naked ADSL service to the Internode network," according to Internode.

Internode said also that it had "reinvigorated" its partnership with Optus by relaunching its NakedUltra product range, delivered using Optus Wholesale broadband ports.

The entry-level Home-NakedUltra plan costs $49.95 for a 10 GB-per-month service. The range includes high-capacity business services delivering up to 200GB per month.

"NakedUltra ADSL2+ rejoins Internode's Naked ADSL2+ product mix and expands on the coverage area of Internode's existing NakedExtreme ADSL2+ services from its own infrastructure," the company said.
