What are your plan and agreement options?

Some broadband providers offer a confusing array of plans and contracts, but, at Netspace, we've made choosing a plan simple.

We've created broadband plans to suit many different needs - and you can choose the length of your agreement, from 0, 6, 12, or 24 months. Find out more about our broadband plans.

What line speed and download quota do I need?

The best line speed and download quota for you will depend on how heavily you think you will use the web. You can use the table below as an indicative guide for average usage.  Please note that this is designed as a guide only, this will vary according to the size of the website, files sizes, MP3 recording quality etc.

Usage Receive emails Surf the Internet Download images Download MP3 or music files Download small video clips Download large video clips Online gaming
300 MB 10 per week 10 hours per week 30 small pics per month 5-10 per month 1-2 per month X X
10GB-20GB 50-100 per week 15-25 hours per week 200-500 per month 50-200 per month 5-10 per month Dependent on speed Dependent on speed
30GB-60GB 100-200
per week		 25-35
per week		 50-1000
per month		 200-400
per month		 10-30
per month 		Dependent on speed Dependent on speed

Dependent on plan speed - faster plans will allow you to download video clips and play online games more quickly and easily than slower plans.

Light plans cater to those who use the Internet to perform only less band-width intensive tasks, like checking email or sports scores.

Medium plans let customers download much more content, including MP3s and large video clips. Medium plan customers can also take advantage of online gaming.

Heavy plans are ideal for those who plan on downloading high volumes of MP3’s programs, movies and anything else you desire.  Great for Internet high-usage households or for those who simply can't get enough of the Net.

Plan speeds are maximum achievable, actual speeds may vary see – How fast is ADSL broadband?

Secondly, tests will be performed by our upstream provider on your nominated phone number to confirm that ADSL is available to you.

Thirdly, your ADSL modem, if you've ordered one, will be despatched by courier to your address. If you are not home to receive the modem, the courier will leave instructions on how you can arrange for re-delivery.

Finally, when your connection is ready and your account is activated, you'll receive a phone call or SMS text message from us telling you you're ready to go.

You'll then be able to set up your modem and login to Netspace.

Top of page

What happens when I reach my download limit?

What happens when you reach and exceed your download limit in a particular month depends on your plan.

If you have chosen a Flat Rate plan, then your download speed will be 'shaped', meaning it will be cut to that of regular dial up (roughly 56k). You can still download as much as you like, and will never be charged an excess usage fee.

You can switch the Flat Rate option on and off on most plans. If the Flat Rate option is switched off excess downloads will be charged at 9.9c per Mb

If you have chosen a Starter plan, excess usage is charged at 15 cents per Mb.

Top of page

 

Can I upgrade or downgrade my broadband plan?

Yes - we don't believe in chaining you to a particular plan. You can upgrade and downgrade your plan during the life of your agreement, however, there are conditions.

Change from an ADSL1 plan to another ADSL1 plan

Need more speed or downloads? You are welcome to upgrade from an ADSL1 plan to another ADSL1 plan at any time either during or after your agreement for free. Once you have upgraded, advertised monthly fees for upgraded plan apply.

You can downgrade from an ADSL1 plan to another ADSL1 plan if your agreement has expired or if you have previously upgraded your account during the life of the agreement. You can never downgrade to Starter Plans and you can not downgrade lower than your initial plan unless your agreement has expired. Downgrades to a plan with the same line speed (eg. 512k/128k to 512k/128k) are free of charge. Downgrades to a lower line speed (eg: 512k/128k to 256k/64k or 512k/512k to 1500k/256k) incur a cost of $19.

You can upgrade or downgrade your plan via the MyNetspace online account tools.

Upgrade from an ADSL 1 to ADSL2+ plan - Existing Netspace Customers

There are 2 types of fees applicable here.

  1. If you have been connected on your existing Netspace ADSL service for less than 6 months, regardless of contract length, the fee to upgrade to ADSL2+ will be $149. You will also have 6 months added to your existing contract term (effective from the date that the ADSL2+ service is connected).
  2. If you have been connected on your existing Netspace ADSL service for more than 6 months, regardless of contract length, the fee to upgrade to ADSL 2+ will be $99. You will also have 6 months added to your existing contract term (effective from the date that the ADSL2+ service is connected).

Upgrading and Downgrading between ADSL2+ plans

You are welcome to upgrade from an ADSL2+ plan to another ADSL2+ plan at any time during your agreement for free. Once you have upgraded, advertised monthly fees for upgraded plan apply.

You can downgrade from an ADSL2+ plan to another ADSL2+ plan if your agreement has expired or if you have previously upgraded your account during the life of the agreement. However, you can not downgrade lower than your initial plan unless your agreement has expired.

All upgrades and downgrades between ADSL2+ plans are free of charge. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan via the MyNetspace online account tools.

Downgrade from ADSL2+ to ADSL 1

There is no facility to do this at this stage. Downgrading from ADSL2+ will be considered a disconnection and reconnection with all subsequent fees applying.

Can I get broadband at my home or home office?

To receive Netspace ADSL broadband, you will need to have a phone line (Netspace can provide one for you if you wish) and be on an ADSL enabled exchange.

You can check whether ADSL broadband is available on your telephone line using our Broadband Availability Check.

Common ADSL broadband questions

What is ADSL broadband?

ADSL is a broadband service which provides fast Internet through your existing telephone line. ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, and the service offers a high-speed Internet connection which allows you to remain permanently online, as well as to place and receive phone calls while connected.

Top of page

What are the benefits of ADSL broadband?

Some of the many benefits of ADSL broadband include:

  • lighting fast Internet at speeds up to 140 times quicker than regular dial up
  • the ability to place and receive phone calls while surfing the net
  • a permanent connection - save money by not dialling in every time you connect
  • no second phone line - save money by using the existing cabling to your home
  • fast downloading of online video and broadband only content
  • the ability to link multiple computers to the Internet with the one connection

Read the top 10 reasons to choose Netspace ADSL

Top of page

How fast is ADSL broadband?

ADSL broadband is able to reach speeds up to 140 times faster than dial up.

The speed of your ADSL connection depends on the line speed you have selected. Netspace currently offers ADSL line speeds of 256k, 512k, 1500k and 8000k or up to 20000k for ADSL2+. Regular dial up is 56k.

ADSL line speeds are represented in downstream / upstream format. For example 256k/64k represents up to 256kbps (kilobits per second) downstream / 64kbps upstream. The downstream / upstream speeds refer to the maximum speeds achievable accessing the internet using a Netspace ADSL connection. Due to many environmental factors, the actual speeds achievable are likely to be less than the maximum speed that is achievable based on your plan.

The following table shows the average time it takes to download content on different connections:

Connection View an average web page Download a 4 minute MP3
(recorded at 128Kbps)
Regular Dial up (56k) 28 seconds 10 minutes
ADSL broadband (256k) 6-7 seconds 2 minutes
ADSL broadband (512k) 3-4 seconds 1 minutes
ADSL broadband (1500k) 1-2 seconds 20 seconds
ADSL broadband (8000k) 0-1 second 4 seconds

Please note these times are designed as an approximate guide only. Times may vary depending on the size of the website, MP3 recording quality and network protocols.

Please see the ADSL2+ FAQ for more information about ADSL2+ line speeds.

Top of page

Is ADSL broadband available in my area?

ADSL broadband services are available in most areas across Australia.

To find out whether ADSL is available on your telephone line, use the Netspace Broadband Availability Check.

Top of page

I have my own ADSL modem. Can I use it with Netspace?

We provide support for modems listed here.

If your modem is not listed and you need to call Technical Support, our team will provide basic assistance for any type of Broadband Modem, but we can only diagnose issues for supported modems.

Please see the ADSL2+ FAQ for more information about the modems which are compatible with ADSL2+.

Top of page

What are line filters and how many do I need?

A line filter is a small device which separates voice and fax signals from Internet traffic.

Once you have ADSL, each telephone handset, fax or answering machine in your home will need one - so that's one filter for every telephony device in your home.

If you have a monitored alarm system you will need a central filter. This must be installed by a qualified technician and we recommend speaking to your alarm company.

Top of page

I don't use Windows. Can I still get ADSL broadband?

Yes. Netspace ADSL broadband will work with any operating system that supports the TCP/IP protocol.

Our support staff can help with most Windows (95/98/2000/XP) and Mac OS (8/9/X) variants.

Top of page

Can I still use my fax or answering machine with ADSL?

You can still use any telephone, fax or answering machine with ADSL.

Once you have ADSL, each telephone handset, fax or answering machine (and any other telephony devise) in your home will need a line filter. A line filter is a small device which separates voice and fax signals from Internet traffic.

One line filter is supplied with every modem purchased from Netspace. Additional line filters can be ordered during the joining process.

Top of page

Are there free sites which don't count towards my download limit?

Yes, depending on your plan.

There is no free traffic on Starter Plans.

Netspace customers on any other current broadband plan have free use of Gamespace, as well as a tucows mirror site and a free ftp server which hosts great content like movie trailers and useful software downloads.

For more information read our Standard Form of Agreement.

Top of page

Can I access the Internet if the ADSL network goes down or if I am on holidays?

Yes. All Netspace Broadband customers are provided with a free backup dial up account that can be used in the unlikely event that the ADSL network goes down.

You can also use the dial up account when travelling anywhere in Australia - great for checking your email on holidays.

Please note that your ADSL and backup dial up services cannot be connected at the same time. Any downloads are counted towards your broadband usage.

Top of page

Can I login to ADSL broadband from another location?

No. ADSL broadband is only available on enabled phone lines.

You can, however, take advantage of the free backup dial up account provided to all Netspace Broadband customers to dial in from anywhere in Australia.

If you are moving house, you can move your ADSL connection using the MyNetspace account tools.

Top of page

How can I check my download usage and when does the count reset?

You can check your current usage online using the usage meter on the MyNetspace portal.

Please note that the usage meter can take up to 3 hours to register downloads made through your service.

Every month, your usage resets on your 'anniversary date' - the day of the month on which your account was first enabled.

Customers who have switched off Flat Rate can use multiple logins at any time.

Please be aware that downloads made through any login count towards monthly data usage.

Top of page

What is a Data Block?

If you are approaching or have exceeded your monthly download limit, you might consider purchasing a Data Block - a pre-paid allocation of additional downloads.

Data Blocks allow you to return to full download speed and can be purchased through the MyNetspace portal where they are available in the following sizes:

Data Block (GB) Price
4 GB $19.95

Data Blocks are not available on the Starter Plans.

Top of page

My ADSL broadband application was unsuccessful. What happened?

There are several reasons that an ADSL application can fail. The most common include:

  • ADSL was not available at your telephone exchange
  • your home was too far from the nearest exchange
  • the copper wiring to your home was of insufficient quality

You can use the Online Status Check on our homepage to find the exact reason that your application was unsuccessful.

If your application has proved unsuccessful, we will refund any costs we have charged to you within 7 business days.

Depending on the problem, ADSL broadband may be available to you sometime in the future. In the meantime, you might like to consider one of our dial up plans.

Top of page

Flat Rate Plans

What does Flat Rate mean?

Flat Rate refers to Netspace plans where you will never be charged for excess downloads, no matter how often you use the net. All Flat Rate plans are, however, subject to monthly download quotas.

If your monthly download quota is exceeded, two things can occur:

Firstly, if your Flat Rate option is on, your speed will be 'shaped', that is, slowed to the speed of regular dial up (roughly 56k for Home and 128k for SOHO plans). You will not be charged for excess usage, and you can still download as much as you like, though at a lesser speed.

Alternatively, if your Flat Rate option is off, you can continue to download at full speed, however, excess usage will be charged at 9.9 cents per Mb.

All new ADSL customers have Flat Rate turned on by default. You can switch the option off using the MyNetspace online tools.

Existing customers who upgrade their plan will need to check their Flat Rate status as the Flat Rate option is not selected by default.

You should also be aware that download quotas are divided into peak and off-peak allowances.

Top of page

When are peak and off-peak times?

The total monthly download allowance is either Anytime (meaning that all of your quota can be used at anytime of the day or night) or it is divided into two parts: Peak and Off-Peak.

There are three possible quota types or peak / off-peak times.

Anytime
Peak: 7am to midnight, 7 days a week
Off-Peak: Midnight to 7am, 7 days a week
Peak: 10am to 3am, 7 days a week
Off-Peak: 3am to 10am, 7 days a week

For ADSL1 these times are in your local time zone. For ADSL2+ these times are presently AEST/AEDT.

Anytime
If the download quota is exceeded during a given month, your speed will be shaped for the remainder of that month.

Peak / Off-Peak
If the Peak or Off-Peak download quota is exceeded during a given month, your speed will be shaped for that time period only. For example, if you exceed your plan's download quota during Peak times, your Peak usage will be shaped, but your Off-Peak speed will remain unaffected.

The monthly download allowance covers all data received by the service, except for data downloaded from sites on the Netspace 'free access list'. When shaped, access to sites on the 'free access list' remains at full speed, however, your access may be slowed during periods of heavy network traffic.

Top of page

Can I turn Flat Rate on and off?

Yes. You can switch at any time via the MyNetspace online account tools. There is no charge for switching Flat Rate on and off, and changes take effect immediately.

Top of page

What happens if I reach my download limit?

What happens when you exceed your download limit will depend on which plan you are on.

On Flat Rate plans, you will not be charged for excess downloads, however, your connection speed will be shaped. If you would prefer to continue to download at full speed, you can turn the Flat Rate option off, and excess downloads will then be charged at 9.9c per Mb. Alternatively, you might consider purchasing a further Data Block.

On the Starter plans, all excess usage is charged at 15c per Mb regardless.

Top of page

What is shaping?

Shaping refers to slowing the line speed of your connection - usually to that of a regular dial up modem (56k for Home and 128k for SOHO plans).

Top of page

Switching to Netspace via Rapid Transfer

What is Rapid Transfer?

Rapid Transfer is a process allowing you to quickly and easily move between participating ADSL1 broadband providers, without needing to reconnect your ADSL broadband service. Switching to Netspace ADSL broadband takes between 3 to 5 working days, usually with a downtime of only 2 to 6 hours.

A similar process is available for moving to ADSL2+ plans see What is Fast Churn.

Top of page

What does Rapid Transfer cost?

Right now, nothing - switch to any Netspace ADSL1 broadband plan on an agreement of 6 months or more and pay no churning (rapid transfer) fee.

Plus, select a 24 month agreement and we'll provide you with a free Netspace Standard ADSL modem.

Top of page

Does my existing ISP support Rapid Transfer?

Most major ADSL broadband providers participate in the Rapid Transfer program. You can see if your current ISP participates by checking the list of Rapid Transfer participants.

If your ISP does not participate, you should cancel your current ADSL broadband service and then join Netspace as a new customer.

Top of page

Does Netspace support my existing broadband modem?

We provide support for modems listed here.

If your modem is not listed and you need to call Technical Support, our team will provide basic assistance for any type of Broadband Modem, but we can only diagnose issues for supported modems.

You can find more information about Netspace supplied modems on our ADSL modems page.

Top of page

I'm switching to Netspace. What settings do I need to change on my PC?

A few days after you have chosen to switch to Netspace, you will notice that your ADSL signal has disappeared. Once it reappears, usually between 2 to 6 hours later, you will need to reconfigure your connection with the new username and password you have received from us. You should then be able to connect. If you encounter any trouble, you can contact our support staff on 131 456.

Top of page

I'm ready to switch, what should I do?

Great. Simply join through our regular process and nominate 'Rapid Transfer' when asked.

Top of page

When switching via Rapid Transfer or Fast Churn, do I need to cancel my service with my current ISP?

No, you must make sure your ADSL broadband account is still active with your current provider before switching to Netspace via the Rapid Transfer or Fast Churn processes.

By submitting your application you are giving Netspace the authority to cancel your current broadband connection (we'll do this on your behalf). However, we do recommend that you advise your current ISP in writing that you are intending to transfer – or shortly after actually transferring.

Upgrades and downgrades can be performed online through MyNetspace.

Top of page

Account cancellation

What happens if I cancel my agreement early?

Broadband Accounts
Customers who cancel their broadband account prior to the conclusion of their agreement are required to pay 50% of any remaining monthly fees plus a network termination fee of $65. Customers out of contract on ADSL2+ plans are required to pay a $65 network termination fee.

Cancelling via the Rapid Transfer or Fast Churn processes
Customers who have completed their agreement's initial minimum term can transfer to another ISP using the Rapid Transfer process at no cost.

Service Relocation

What happens if I change my address or telephone number?

Changes of address or service number are treated as re-connections and are charged as follows:

Customers in agreement
Customers relocating within their agreement must pay a relocation fee of:
$99 if their service has been connected for more than 6 months
$149 if their service has been connected for less than 6 months

A fresh minimum term will apply from the commencement of the relocated service. This shall be either the remaining balance of their previous minimum term, or six months, whichever is longest.

Customers out of agreement
Customers who are out of agreement can choose to pay a reduced relocation fee by extending their agreement by a fixed period. Customers can choose between these options:

  • a 24 month agreement extension and no relocation charge
  • an 18 month agreement extension and a relocation charge of $29
  • a 12 month agreement extension and a relocation charge of $69

Billing

What is the Netspace billing process?

Payments to Netspace can be made by credit card or direct debit. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Diners Card and American Express.

During the connection process, Netspace will not debit your credit card or bank account until we have determined to the best possible extent that broadband ADSL is available and connectable on your nominated telephone line.

If we determine that your application will most likely succeed, the cost of your Agreement and Modem Package and first monthly fee will be charged via your nominated payment method. If your application is unsuccessful, this charge will be refunded within 7 working days.

The date upon which your ADSL connection is confirmed connected becomes your anniversary date. This is the date upon which your agreement starts and is also the date where your monthly data usage is calculated.

Your monthly fee will be charged each month to your credit card or direct debit account around 10 days before your anniversary date. A tax invoice will be sent to your primary Netspace email address whenever your account is billed.

If we have supplied you with an ADSL modem, you will own this modem at the completion of your agreement if your account is up to date with all payments.

Top of page

What is my Anniversary Date?

The date upon which your ADSL connection is confirmed connected becomes your Anniversary Date. This is the date upon which your agreement starts and is also the date where your monthly data usage is calculated.
