ACENET NEWS
Acenet joins Servo Savers
Once again Acenet has an Australian first!
Acenet is the first and currently only, Internet or Telephone Company to offer Servo Saver fuel discount vouchers.
We always try to think of ways to help and reward our customers and with the recent rising fuel prices; we have decided to join Servo Savers. Obviously we are not the typical retail shop with cash register receipt and unfortunately cannot email fuel vouchers to you. However, we have come up with a system of vouchers that we will post out to customers participating in various promotions.
How will it work –
- Vouchers will be posted to customers who participate in various Acenet promotions
- These vouchers can be redeemed at any participating Servo Saver service station around Australia, for locations see www.servosavers.com.au
- Each voucher entitles you to 5 cents discount off the pump price
- You can use up to 3 vouchers from 3 different businesses per purchase
- Maximum of 30 litres
- This adds up to 15 cents per litre off the pump price which is $4.50 discount per purchase
We are starting this month with vouchers included in our ADSL Broadband offer. Customers who spend over $50.00 on any workshop purchase including parts and/or labour will receive a voucher. For more information contact Acenet on 1300 85 99 85.
Early Summer ADSL Special
Looking for a great Christmas present for all the family? Thinking about ADSL Broadband but want to reduce the setup fees involved? Acenet has the answer for you!
Acenet’s Early Summer ADSL bonus is a great way to get faster internet speeds without paying setup fees. Back after popular demand Acenet’s free installation for ADSL is now even better. There are two options available depending on your needs. Both options are available when signing up for a 24 month contract on your ADSL account.
Standard: Setup fee, ADSL modem and onsite installation.*
Servo Saver: Setup fee, ADSL modem, delivery, plus two Servo Saver vouchers every month for the length of your contract.*
Unlike other ADSL providers this special is available on all of our plans – which start from as little as $29.95 per month.
For more information on the Early Summer ADSL Special just call 1300 85 99 85 or email admin@acenet.net.au
* Conditions apply; contact Acenet on 1300 85 99 85 or email admin@acenet.net.au for more information.
New Call Caps for AcePhone
It just keeps getting better. By popular request we have introduced caps to most long distance calls on AcePhone. As of 1st October all Australian STD calls and selected International calls on AcePhone will be capped to save you even more money.
| The caps are: | |
| STD calls | Maximum $2.50 per half hour |
| International Calls | Maximum $3.00 per half hour |
International calls include selected popular locations including UK, USA, New Zealand and others. (Email admin@acenet.net.au for full list).
All existing AcePhone customers will enjoy these savings automatically from this month on. The call caps also apply to other special plans including the Internet Saver plan. If you are not already using AcePhone, call us today, and start saving now.
Spooky Special
Acenet’s getting that tingly feeling that always appears right before Halloween. Keep an eye on the Acenet website, www.acenet.net.au and your emails for more information later in the month.

WORKSHOP NEWS
Acenet awarded Amart Allsports contract
We are sometimes chastised for not telling everyone when we have some done something really good. So we will try to amend that in future and tell you of some of our successes.
In particular, this month we can tell you Acenet has become the Internet and communications supplier to Amart Allsports. As you will all know Amart have a chain of retail sporting goods stores throughout Australia. Since July we have been progressively rolling out a new network between all their stores and the head office in Brisbane. This includes Data, Video, Internet and Telephony (VoIP) between all locations using both DSL (Broadband) and Fibre Optic technology.
While there was plenty of competition from other suppliers, including the previous supplier (you know who!), Acenet won the contract because we were the only supplier who could offer a complete package of services, ranging from Antivirus protection right through to Internet Telephony. The latter field being of particular importance for the costs savings and a field which Acenet is a technology industry leader.
For our other Acenet customers, contracts like these mean we can build even bigger and better networks for all our users.
