The Metro Bundle combines a fast broadband Internet service with a home phone featuring very
low call rates. Our Metro Bundle is available in nearly 400 selected metropolitan and key regional exchange service areas.
Broadband Internet
Choose from one of our great value broadband Internet plans:
Minimum package fixed costs over 24 months is: $1557.60.
You are charged a fixed monthly fee no matter how much data you
transfer. Once you transfer more than either your peak or off-peak
quota, your service is shaped. Uploads and downloads are counted towards quota.
Get Geeky!
Add a Geek Pack to your plan to get unlimited uploads, a static IP address and
shaping of 256/1024kbps.
The off-peak period is from 02:00 to
08:00 daily. All calculations are in
Sydney time zone.
Your Internet service is provisioned as an ADSL2+ upto 24 Mbps depending
on service availability and infrastructure in your area.
Your ADSL2+ modem connects at the highest speed possible
depending on your distance from the exchange and line
quality. Your service is shaped to 128 kbit/s once you have
reached your monthly transfer quota.
You can also buy additional unshaped usage in blocks if you need to get
back to full speed. Each block purchased gives you equal amounts of
extra peak and off-peak data. For example, a 1GB block gives you
1GB of peak and 1GB of off-peak (total 2GB).
ADSL2+ speed estimates
The following table outlines the estimated speeds your
modem will be able to synchronise at based upon your
distance from the exchange. Your speed will vary based
upon the quality of your telephone line, your modem,
external factors such as flooding or high heat and overall
network conditions.

Broadband Hardware
You must have an ADSL2+ modem and a line filter for every device that connects to a
telephone socket in your home. The line filter allows you to talk on the phone
at the same time as you are on the Internet. It prevents the ADSL signal from
intefering with your voice signal and visa-versa.
You may bring your own modem or purchase one from us. If you purchase a modem from us, it
comes pre-configured for plug-and-play operation. Plug one end into your phone line, the
other into the network port of your computer, reboot and surf!
