The Included Features
Most residential customers find that our Fibre to the Home plans provide all of the features they require for home broadband, including:
- A Fixed Monthly Charge—So you can enjoy your broadband without the nasty surprises! Compare the quota deal for Internode FTTH broadband services:
- No unexpected data usage charges: if your monthly quota is exceeded, we simply shape your traffic to 128/128 kbps for the rest of the month. Faster excess shaping is available with a Power Pack or Business Pack; and you can purchase a Data Block for an on-demand quota top up.
- Anytime quota: use the Internet whenever you like—Internode quota isn’t parcelled into 'friendly' & 'unfriendly' hours of usage.
- Unmetered content: cool content that doesn't count towards your quota, including over 100 online streaming radio stations; the extensive games.on.net server farms for low ping gaming; massive mirrors for common file downloads; ABC iView and fetchtv online content - and more.
* Please note that unmetering only applies to downloads—all uploads (including transmission acknowledgements and other overheads) will be counted against your quota.
- No Long Term Contracts—With Internode Fibre to the Home services, there simply are no long term contracts.
- Local Expert Support—Our award-winning customer support is available 7 days a week.
- Email Accounts—Up to 5 free email accounts can be established, all with email spam and virus filtering & webmail access and more.

- Dynamic IP Address—These are 'Layer 2' dynamic IP services, suitable for home broadband access.
The Power Pack Option
Internet enthusiasts have slightly different requirements, and these are addressed with the addition of the Power Pack option to a FTTH broadband plan. The Power Pack option is $10 per month, and adds the following features:
- Static IP—A static IP address (instead of a dynamic IP address) is provided, making these plans suitable for hosting servers and operating Internet Virtual Private Networks.

- Included Subdomain—Choose your own subdomain name under '.power.on.net' (on request and subject to approval by Internode) and link it to your server.
The Business Pack Option
The needs of business customers are addressed by adding a Business Pack option to a FTTH broadband plan. This option is $30 per month, and adds the following features:
- Static IP—A static IP address is provided, with the option of a /29 IP subnet available on request and at no extra charge.
- Faster Excess—Excess traffic—beyond the monthly inclusion—is shaped at 512/512 kbps. And you can still buy data blocks if required.
- Included Subdomain—Choose your own subdomain under '.on.net' (on request and subject to approval by Internode) and link it your servers.
- Priority Business Support—The Business Pack entitles you to priority access to our award-winning, local customer support team, and your FTTH broadband service is backed by our Service Level Agreement with defined performance and availability targets.
