• Which broadband plan is right for me?

  We have 5 different Broadband Plans available. The type of plan you choose will depend on your usage and the connection types available at your property.  If Fibre is available at your property, we highly recommend one of our Fibre plans for faster internet speed. If you have a copper connection, our Regular ADSL/ VDSL plan will be the best for you. 

  • Regular: ADSL / VDSL ($69/month): This plan will give you unlimited internet data if your home has a copper connection.
  • Standard Fibre (30/10) ($69/month): A fast entry level plan. Suitable for a smaller household that uses the internet for sending emails, reading the news and the occasional Facebook use.
  • Fast Fibre (100/20) ($75/month): A bit faster than our standard plan for those that like to listen to music online and have the odd skype session.
  • Faster Fibre (200 /20) ($89/month): An even quicker plan for households with a few people streaming at the same time. This plan is for you if your household enjoys watching Netflix, listening to music and skyping family members.
  • Max Fibre (max / 500) $105/month): Maximum speed for households who don’t like to wait! If you are a serious gamer, watch a lot of Netflix and have multiple people streaming or playing games online at the same time – this plan is for you!

  All prices exclude GST.

• What is the difference between your broadband plans?

  All our Broadband Plans provide you with unlimited data. This means we will not limit the amount of internet you use provided you abide by our Fair Use Policy.

  The difference between each of our plans is the speed of your internet and the type of connection you have available at your home eg. Copper (ADSL / VDSL) or Fibre

• Do I need to tell my old broadband provider I am leaving?

  Yes, you will need to provide your current broadband provider with the required notice. If you need assistance to do so, please contact our Customer Care Team. 

  This is particularly important if your connection is changing from copper to Fibre to avoid being billed twice. 

• Can I keep my email address if I switch to Pulse Energy Broadband?

  Yes, you can. The only exception is if your email address is linked to your current Broadband provider (e.g. Spark), in which case there may be an additional cost involved. Please check with your provider to understand if there will be any additional costs.

  If you have a Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or other cloud-based email address there will be no issues at all.  

  We strongly suggest that you set up an email address with a free provider (such as Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo). This way you will not be locked into your current Broadband provider. When setting up your new email address, you can create an automatic response that lets people know you have changed your email.
