"Optus, AAPT, AARNet, Comscentre, Nextgen Networks, Platform Networks and SkyMesh will join Internode, iiNet, iPrimus, Exetel and Telstra — companies that already offer NBN services in Tasmania — as NBN retail service providers in the first mainland release sites."

Is there an application(not an aaPlan) from Eftel to join?

(aa)Jason is back to Eftel as the Business Services Manager.
In his post... :

Work is already progressing to identify operational improvements. With a larger, and more diverse entity, our new scale provides commercial opportunities.
Increased buying power, across both product sets, will allow the group to provide better value products, profitably.
Access to new suppliers for each respective customer base, allows for new services.

...Eftel seems improving but no one word in his post about NBN.

Exetel is already in NBN.They saw the opportunity to improve their services.
Were those above words just the usual air or is Eftel really improving?

I noticed Jason was not so 'caustic' in his replies there since he came back.

As long as he was not on Eftel's payroll he could speak of his mind on his arrogant style.
Now as a MANAGER, he has to control his tongue.

Eftel Ltd (ASX: EFT) today announced it has signed a deal with NBN Co. as part of the current NBN mainland trials. This is the first step towards Eftel’s plans to be a leading player in the wholesale aggregation of national broadband services.
As part of this arrangement, Eftel has secured a deal with Australia’s largest private telecommunications company Dodo Australia, for Dodo to purchase services as part of the trial through Eftel.
CEO Scott Stavretis said today "This deal with NBN Co. not only allows us to provide NBN services to our customers via both the Eftel corporate brand and our ClubTelco retail consumer brand, it also allows us to provide these services to our wholesale clients."

Good sign for aaNet customers.

From what I see, I won't be able to afford the higher speeds and downloads on NBN.

Have a look here Okee.

 

[foxidrive]

I could afford 12 Mbit down. That'd double my current download speed!!

Have a look here Okee.

I could live with this:

Maximum speeds: 25Mbps Down/5 Mbps Up

NBN-B-50 $44.50 "Uploads not counted"
NBN-B-50$100$44.5050 GBNBN-B-50$100$44.5050 GBNBN-B-50$100$44.5050 GBNBN-B-50$100$44.5050 GBNBN-B-50$100$44.5050 GBNBN-B-50$100$44.5050 GB

NBNP1-High-100 100 GB Shaped Counted N/A Dynamic $99.95 /mo

How much do you get from Centrelink for your Internet,Okee?

 

[Spyke]

Bloody hell, they all look great compared to the 12GB for $89.95 we are getting at the moment.

 

[foxidrive]

Who's that with Spyke? Do you have limited choices due to distance from the exchange or RIMs or something?

 

[Spyke]

Very limited, we are to far from the exchange to get any form of adsl.

So we are left with the lovely option of 3G wireless and the best plan is 12GB with Telstra, we currently receive a $20 discount which brings it down to $69 a month, but still is on the lower end of sheethouse.

 

[foxidrive]

Very nasty, Spyke. Is the NBN coming to your road anytime soon... that's be good.
