What is dial-up? |
 |
|
|
|
Dial-up was one of the first popular internet connection methods for Australians. It uses a modem to dial the internet via a standard telephone line. Because of this, it'll cost you a local call charge each time you connect. Dial-up is the slowest form of Internet access, running up to a maximum of 56Kbps, but it can suit light users. |

How much does it cost? |
|
|
|
You have two options for dial-up access: monthly plans, whereby you pay a fixed or variable charge each month, or pre-paid blocks, which involves buying a 'block' of access time which you can use when you wish.
Our monthly plans have no contracts or early disconnection fees, and selected plans have no excess charges if you exceed your data limit.
