Internode has launched a new range of fibre-based broadband plans at more than 125 greenfield real estate developments across Australia.

Internode Product Manager, Jim Kellett, said the new Reach Fibre Access Broadband (FAB) plans are great value and stack up well against those available under the previous arrangement.

“Previously residents could only buy their Fibre to the Home (FTTH) service through Telstra. Now they have more choice when it comes to choosing their broadband provider,” he said.

The launch follows an agreement between Internode and Telstra Wholesale to offer services across housing estates connected via Telstra ‘Velocity’ fibre.

The plans are also available at Point Cook in Victoria, where Internode has existing fibre-served customers as a result of a fibre-optic broadband trial it undertook with Telstra.

The new Reach FAB plans are available on a monthly contract, with a $99 setup fee. Customers signing a 24-month contract pay no setup fee, but will incur a pro-rated early cancellation charge if they cancel their service within the contract period.

Customers can also choose to add one of Internode’s optional Power Packs (an extra $10 a month) or a Business Pack (an extra $30 a month) to tailor their Reach FAB service to their specific needs.

*Under the agreement, each Reach FAB service must be purchased with an associated landline phone service. This can be either a NodeLine service from Internode, which provides the additional benefit of a $10 broadband bundling discount, or a phone service from a third party provider.

The minimum price for an Internode Reach FAB service is from $138.95, comprising the once-only $99 setup fee, plus one month’s rental for the Reach FAB Mid 30 plan when bundled with a NodeLine landline telephone service. NodeLine costs from $29.95 a month.
