iiNet has announced its plans to launch an NBN satellite service later this month on a $49.95 plan.

 

According to iiNet, the 20GB plan will operate up to six times faster than current satellite plans.

 

“We’ve been active supporters of the NBN from day one and the introduction of these new satellite services means that those Australians living and working in regional or remote areas can now enjoy the benefits that come with faster and more reliable Internet access from an award winning service provider,” iiNet CEO Michael Malone said.

 

 “For us as a business, we’re particularly pleased that we can now offer our customers much improved services, in geographic areas we couldn’t previously reach.”

 

 “We currently service more than 9000 satellite customers through our Westnet service, and our expertise is invaluable in ensuring that the customer experience via the NBN will be better than ever.”

 

To enquire about the satellite service eligibility, to register interest or for more information on iiNet's NBN plans, please visit www.iinet.net.au/nbn. Final customer eligibility will be determined by NBN Co.
