All Westnet Broadband ADSL members have premium speed access to the Westnet Neighbourhood. Traffic from the Westnet Neighbourhood is counted towards the quota of any Dialup or Lite ADSL plan.

Shaping
You can choose to have your account slowed to 64kbps/64kbps once you reach your monthly download allowance without being charged for extra downloads (this is called shaping). Alternatively, you can choose to pay $6 for every gigabyte you download over your monthly allowance whilst continuing at your designated plan speed.

Optional Static IP Address
Westnet is able to provide static (or fixed) IP addresses for a wide range of circumstances for just $4.99/month, or $55/year. Using a static IP enables you to present a consistent address to the World Wide Web.

What is ADSL?

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for transmitting digital information at a high bandwidth on existing phone lines to homes and businesses. ADSL is different to your ordinary Internet connection in many ways. ADSL provides a permanent connection to the Internet. ADSL is asymmetric in that it uses most of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small part to receive information from the user. ADSL simultaneously accommodates analog (voice) information on the same line. This is done by installing a filter on your existing phone line, which blocks all signals above a certain frequency. Since all voice conversations take place below 4 KHz, the low-pass filters are built to block everything above 4 KHz, preventing the data signals from interfering with standard telephone calls.

Typical ADSL Setup:

Speeds are represented in downstream/upstream format, e.g. 256k / 64k represents up to 256 kilobits per second (kbps) downstream / 64kbps upstream. The downstream/upstream speeds refer to the maximum speed capable; Westnet does not guarantee that these speeds will be achieved. The actual speed that will be achieved is likely to be less than the maximum speed capable because of dimensioning, overheads, and other technical reasons.

Uploaded data (data sent to the Internet) will not be counted.

For the purposes of calculating usage, 1GB = 1000 megabytes (MB).

Unused download allowance cannot be rolled over into subsequent months.

Downloaded data that begins in Peak Time and ends in Off-Peak Time, or vice versa, will be allocated into both periods proportionately.

Customers wishing to change their ADSL speed will attract a $19.95 fee. Plan changes and cancellations must be advised in writing to Westnet prior to the end of any billing period (calendar month) and will become effective as of the 1st of the following month. Please Email your changes to accounts@Westnet.com.au.

Customers have the option to use their ADSL account on our dialup service; however, this will incur an excess charge of $1.10/hr. Please note that customers may use our dialup service free during an outage.
