Notes
Price is per user for up to 4 devices. Bandwidth download is the total of the 4 Devices. Additional PC's can be added for $20.00 ea.
* Peak Period is 8 AM to 2 AM 7 days per week
Off Peak Period is 2 AM to 8 AM 7 days per week
The monthly quotas include uploads and downloads. Users should configure any file programs carefully to avoid uploads using up their quota.
What happens if I use all of the bandwidth in my selected plan?
Users can check their monthly download use online. When data use reaches the selected plan the speed is reduced to 64Kbps and users will be notified via
email. This reduced speed is generally sufficient for basic web surfing but makes downloading slow.
Users may choose to do any of the following:-
a)Continue to use the internet at this speed until the beginning of next month.
b)Purchase an additional 1G or 5G of download bandwidth for the remainder of the month for a one off fee. Note: Availability is subject to capacity due to ISP
conditions as the additional bandwidth has not been planned.
c)Upgrade to a higher monthly plan. If this option is taken then the current month is upgraded to the new plan for the remainder of the month for free. An
administration fee of $20.00 is charged if users downgrade within 3 months of upgrading.
Applications such as video streaming ( eg Youtube, Joost) and Peer to Peer programs such as Limewire, Bittorrent, uTorrent etc are very heavy users of
bandwidth, regardless of whether you just view movies, or download them. Regularly watching youtube may use up to 500Mbyte to 1G per day.
If users plan to use higher bandwidth on regular basis then option c) is recommended.
Unfortunately ISP's in Australia charge by the Gigabyte, and these charges are needed to recover usage costs.
Connection to the Network
Computers are connected to the network with WiFi wireless using the 802.11b/g protocols. Users are to supply the wireless cards or connections in their
computers. Almost all Laptops have this built in. Desktop PC's can have external devices or WiFi cards. These can be supplied at cost ( usually about $70).
Acceptable use policy.

including downloading, uploading, or distribution of copyright material including music, video, or programs. Full details are here.
