July 2011 ADSL Plan Changes
On 12th July 2011 Internode released a revised set of plans across the ADSL broadband range. These plans are available now, both for new customers and existing Internode customers.
Highlights of the new plans include:
- Easy Broadband: 50 GB quota boosts at two popular monthly price points (when bundled with NodeLine); and overall a simplification of the plan range. The broadband bundling discount increases to $20 per month.
- Easy Bundle: Also receives a 50 GB quota boosts at two popular monthly price points, and a simplification of the plan range.
- Easy Naked: These plans are now bundled with a fully-featured NodePhone VoIP phone service, including $10 included call credit every month. The plan range is simplified with new monthly price and quota points.
- Easy Reach: There are two new monthly price and quota points, and an increase in the broadband bundling discount to $20. However, the bundling discount is now only available in selected areas.
In addition, the new plans also feature:
- No charge for downgrading plans. The new plans do not have the $29 plan downgrade fee on the previous 'T-Shirt' plans (and this fee no longer applies to the 'T-Shirt' plans).
- No 12 month contract term for plan changing to Easy Reach. Plan changing from an earlier Internode ADSL plan to an Easy Reach plan no longer has any effect on your current contract term.
- No penalty for multiple concurrent connections on the same ADSL line. Please note this is not supported on all ADSL platforms; and also note that penalties still apply for multiple concurrent connections involving the same login credentials on different lines.
