Internode fibre based broadband cheaper than its ADSL plans

Broadband internet giant Internode has revealed recently that its entry level prices for fibre based broadband are actually cheaper than its cheapest standalone ADSL broadband plans.

Australian broadband giant Internode is one of a handful of broadband providers that has been selected to provide fibre based broadband services as part of the National Broadband Network, and will next month start offering fibre based broadband services in Tasmania where the NBN project has successfully kicked off.

Recently the broadband company revealed its prices for fibre based broadband, and showed that its entry level fibre based broadband prices are actually cheaper than its standalone ADSL broadband prices by around ten dollars per month. The entry level fibre based broadband price has been set at just under thirty dollars a month whereas the cheapest standalone ADSL broadband plan with the provider is just under forty dollars a month.

An official from Internode said that the prices had been set to encourage more people to use the service, stating: “We believe price is the catalyst for rapid adoption. Internode wants to learn as much as possible about how customers use fibre broadband services from its investment in this pilot program, so we want to get as many customers on board as possible. By setting our FTTH prices at below our ADSL prices, we believe this becomes an irresistible offer. Customers, both in Tasmania and nationally, should keep in mind that this initiative is designed as a pilot program. These prices and products may bear little resemblance to what emerges under the NBN proper, but it’s a great start to offer plans that are affordable for ordinary people.”
