TURBO Benefits

OntheNet continues to work hard to improve Broadband on the Gold Coast.

In certain coverage areas, OntheNet's DSL hardware within key Gold Coast telephone exchanges allows OntheNet's ADSL2+ TURBO services, delivering higher speeds and data allocations at very competitive prices.

256/64 plans are now delivered as 2048/384. This is eight times (8x) the download speed and six times (6x) the upload speed for much faster web browsing, emailing large documents, photo publishing etc., all at an entry level price. 2048/384 plans start at $29/month.
ADSL2+ Turbo is a unique ADSL offering which is up to three times (3x) faster than those offered by other providers, and almost one hundred times (100x) faster than entry level broadband products. ADSL2+ Turbo plans start at $49/month.
Although OntheNet offers ASDL2+ speeds in many locations via its Personal Broadband and Business Broadband plans, the ADSL2+ Turbo service uses OntheNet's own ADSL infrastructure, allowing OntheNet substantial control and management of the broadband services therefore providing greater speed and reliability to its customers.
Business users can also benefit from 9.2Mbps/9.2Mbps high speed symmetric SHDSL (same upload and download speed) services in the TURBO coverage area. These offer fibre speeds with DSL coverage and prices.

The terms and conditions of TURBO exchanges include the following:

TURBO is currently available in certain exchange coverage areas. OntheNet is expanding TURBO coverage as demand grows. The more customers OntheNet has in an area, the sooner TURBO coverage will be extended to that area. Sign up with OntheNet today!
Unfortunately customers on RIMs or who are too far from the exchange to get DSL, can't currently get TURBO.
With ADSL2+ and SHDSL services, the delivered speed in download and upload directions depends on the quality and length of the specific customer line as well as the CPE used.
DSL Transfer from/to other ADSL providers is not available with TURBO.
TURBO plans have a minimum contract period of 12 months.

# With ADSL2+ the actual speed depends on the customer line quality and distance, internal building wiring, as well as the CPE used. The speed therefore can only be accurately determined once the service has been installed and tested. Newer ADSL2/2+ capable CPE are recommended to obtain speeds greater than 6Mbps. It is estimated that approximately 2/3 of customer locations should experience between 6 and 14 Mbps. OntheNet does not guarantee that higher speeds will be attainable in all cases.
