FAQ
If OntheNet quotes a “nil build cost”, this includes the install costs to the building or the specific termination point quoted only, based on reasonable expectations. However, in-building network builds are at the cost of the customer if applicable. It’s not feasible to send contractors on-site for every quote at an up-front cost, so a full assessment of the required install site is done after ordering.
This will vary from site to site based on location and other network related factors. OntheNet pricing starts from as little as $295.90 inc GST. We invite you to request a free quote for your specific address. Fibre can be expensive to install, however, a nil build cost may be available at your location.
Total minimum price for BusinessFibre 100/100Mbps CoS-L with a 36 month contract term is $10,652.40 Inc GST. Applies to an nbn™Enterprise Ethernet service on a 36 month contract term, subject to service location qualification.
OntheNet can deliver BusinessFibre to all 304 nbn™ Fibre zones under the nbn™ initiative, as well as Fibre options from other Fibre networks including our own. The best way to get a definitive answer for your business location is to contact us.
Generally speaking – yes. OntheNet can quote to deliver fibre to any business address in Australia. Some locations far from existing fibre networks may have significant build costs. At the other extreme, nbn™ offers some Business Fibre zones where the build cost is nil with a 36 month term.
For commercial reasons, this will change over time. Currently, OntheNet can deliver Telstra fibre, nbn™ Enterprise Ethernet, TPG Fast Fibre, Optus fibre and others. This gives our OntheNet customers maximum coverage and a network diversity choice.
Fibre experiences no electromagnetic interference, operates at symmetric speeds to offer higher uploads and can scale to much higher download speeds. Most copper cabling is part of a much older legacy network built for telephony purposes rather than internet data.
Our experienced OntheNet staff can guide you after discussing factors such as current and future needs, number of network users and typical applications used.
New builds can take up to 50- 60 business days with a high degree of variation due to factors such as proximity of existing fibre network, build complexity and even building access. Here is a Typical Fibre Build Delivery Process document to explain in full.
Yes. A second service can be delivered to the same location and configured to operate automatically with the addition of our Managed SD-WAN service that supports policy-based routing over multiple Internet connections.
