Servo Savers just got better
Yes, that’s right! You can now get up to 30 cents per litre off the pump price at participating Servo Saver petrol stations. Each Servo Saver voucher is worth 6 cents per litre and you can collect and use up to 5 vouchers/dockets at a time.
Any hardware or software purchases through us over $50 are entitled to receive a discount voucher and in the New Year we will have even more opportunities for you to earn Servo Saver vouchers.

Snooze mode: Information for Holiday makers
We’re getting to that time of year when everyone packs their bags and heads for the beach, but before you pack that sunscreen, there’s one more thing to take care of.
If you have a Prepaid Hourly account with Acenet, you need to let us know if you will be away for over 30 days. If you don’t, then your email account may be suspended until you return home – meaning you may not get those E-Cards for Christmas from your friends!
You can let us know you departure and arrival dates either via email – admin@acenet.net.au or by telephone on 1300 85 99 85.

Electrical Storms – Modems beware!
During November there were numerous electrical storms affecting most areas in South East Queensland. Almost as frequently we were being contacted by our customers suddenly unable to connect to the internet. Yes – The feared predator of the household modem is the electrical storm.
When you prepare for a storm, securing your outdoor items, battening hatches and unplugging the TV, remember to spare a thought for your little modem. It only takes a minute to remove the telephone line (and if possible power plug) from it, but it may just save you buying a new modem.
