Benefits
of broadband
A much faster and reliable internet connection through your telephone line. It has many forms,
ADSL, CABLE, SATELLITE, & WIRELESS. For 80% of Eyre Peninsula
Wireless and
Satellite are our only choices. ADSL only travels 3.5km from an
exchange,
20km odd is common for
WIRELESS.
Satellite is prohibitively expensive if the ABG, (Australian
Broadband Guarantee) scheme is not available. Currently
that is to most where there is no other metropolitan comparable
connection is unavailable.
Since late 2007, the Telstra NextG wireless broadband service has
been available where the NextG mobile service is available, but
there are still vast areas of Eyre Peninsula still unable to receive
a strong enough signal for that to be an option. Expensive
antennae systems help in some cases, but generally, outside of the
major towns served by transmitters that system cannot be regarded as
a full blanket cover. The NextG service is not subsidised like
a similar Optus service in some areas or Australia, and is
comparatively expensive once the initial connection incentives are
exhausted. |
Since
late 2007, EYREONLINE has been building a wireless broadband system
centred around Lock, and reaching South, East, and North up to 50km.
This complements our Dial services available anywhere in Australia
at local call rates, (0198333295), and ADSL services from
appropriately equipped exchanges.
This is being expanded as fast as possible, but is not subsidised
like some areas in Australia, so is being built from the resources
of Eyreonline. Therefore the rollout may not be as fast as if
subsidy were available.
The wireless service is very competitively priced, ($33/mth for 5g
data), with a once off setup cost of $190.
