How does it work?
ADSL Broadband works through your existing copper telephone line. Think of it as splitting the line into two parts - half for the internet and half for telephone calls. By utilising the telephone line in this manner, you can reach much higher internet speeds than traditional dialup internet.
In addition, it doesn't cost you a local call to connect and you can use the telephone and internet at the same time!
What do I need?
You will need to purchase an ADSL modem - your current dialup modem will not work with ADSL technology. ADSL filters are needed on all telephone handsets, fax machines and/or alarm systems.
What are ADSL filters?
Because ADSL works on a different part of the telephone line, other telephone devices (telephones/faxes/modems) need filters to remove the ADSL sounds from the line. If you did not have filters on each device, your ADSL internet connection may drop out and/or modem noises may be audible during telephone calls.
How does Acenet accept payment?
Acenet can automatically deduct your monthly fee from your Credit card or bank account, alternatively you can pay quarterly by Credit card, Cheque, Australian Money Order or Direct Deposit. If you visit our office in Murarrie, Brisbane, you could also pay by Cash or Eftpos.
How long does it take?
Once Acenet has received your completed application form with payment, the service is usually available within four (4) to ten (10) business days.
This process can be delayed in some circumstances, for example where incompatible equipment requires an upgrade. Unfortunately ADSL services are not available to every household and connection cannot be guaranteed. If ADSL is not available in your area, all monies are refunded and contracts dissolved.
How do I sign up?
