Internode has slashed $50 from the price of its range of 3G modems and launched an antenna to boost reception of its NodeMobile Data wireless broadband service.

Internode this week became the first customer to use PIPE Networks' new PPC-1 fibre-optic cable, running tests several weeks ahead of the trans-Pacific link's launch.

Internode has completed its 12-month management restructure by appointing Liz Cornelissen to the newly-created role of Chief Operations Officer.

Internode is now selling retail Fibre to the Home services, starting at less than $50 a month, at greenfield real estate developments in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.
