Hi all,

Great news! Westnet is increasing the monthly download allowance on our 8Mbps Boost Broadband1 plans.

The increase in download allowance will be in effect Monday 18 February 2008.
Plan Name Peak Off Peak
Option 1 1GB /2GB
Option 2 7GB/ 10GB
Option 3 15GB/ 25GB
Option 4 25GB/ 45GB
Option 5 40GB /80GB

Members currently signed up on a Boost plan will be notified on Monday 18 February.

Changes to the member’s account can be viewed via MyAccount, as they may not be reflected in their next invoice due to billing cycles.

What if a member’s account has already been ‘shaped’ this month?
If they’ve already been ‘shaped’ but have not reached the new download allowance, ‘shaping’ will be removed. If they have been ‘shaped’ and have already exceeded the new limit, they will return to normal speeds at the commencement of the new month.

What if the account is in ‘held’ status?
As soon as the account is activated, they will receive the upgrade in download allowance.

Will excess charges change?
No – but they will come into effect as the new download allowance limit is reached (unless the ‘shaping’ option is enabled).

Yes, we know it’s a bit of a cheesy pun, but the deal is pretty cool!

We’re calling all Westnet members on a Broadband1 Starter or Everyday plan who want faster broadband.

Follow the simple steps on this page to get in now and upgrade your broadband speed for FREE - we’ll waive the usual speed upgrade fee! (valued at $19.95).

This offer is available to existing members and only when moving their current broadband speed to faster speeds.

Offer ends 17th March 2008.

Upgrade from a Starter plan on 256kbps and double your speed to 512kbps on an Everyday plan from as low as $44.95 ($34.95 when bundled with Westnet Phone).

Boost your speed all the way to 1.5Mbps on an Active plan, starting at $49.95 per month ($39.95 when bundled with Westnet Phone).
