ADSL Pricing Page

How does ADSL Work?

It's very simple: ADSL shares an ordinary telephone line. A special device ("line filter") is installed on the line; it splits the signal between the telephone and modem. Unlike traditional modems, both the telephone and ADSL modem can be used simultaneously. You do not need a second phone line anymore just for the Internet and won’t miss phone calls when you are surfing the web! The ADSL modem is "always-on", meaning a big money saving on phone call charges to the Internet service.

What are the benefits of ADSL?

* Faster Speeds

* "Always on" - Permanent Connection

* No local phone call costs

What is the speed comparison between dialup and ADSL?

A file size of 6Mb on a 33.5k modem would take 24 minutes to download. The same file using a 64K ISDN link would take 12.5 minutes. Using an ADSL 256k service, that file would take just 3.1 minutes. For ultra quick, an ADSL 1500K service would take only 32 seconds!

Can I get ADSL in my area?

Not all areas currently have ADSL. To be able to provide you with this service, we must first ensure that ADSL is available through your local telephone exchange. Your phone line has to be altered at the Telephone exchange to be able to use ADSL. To find out whether you can get ADSL simply use the ADSL Availabilty Tool Link below. This will tell you if your telephone exchange will allow you to get access to ADSL. Once it has been determined that you are in an area with ADSL access you can apply for the service.

Click here to open the ADSL availability tool.

Availability at the exchange does not guarantee you success at being able to receive ADSL, the final check will be done upon application.

Please Note: There are additional checks that must be done after a standard exchange check. This is done by Telstra when ADSL is requested on your phone line by Nornet. These additional checks are:

Is your phone less then 5Km from the exchange.

Is the condition of the phone line good enough for ADSL.

Is there any devices on the phone line that will stop the ADSL signal.

If any of the above happens and you cannot receive ADSL, Nornet will refund your Credit Card the ADSL Connection fee.

What about technical support?

Our HelpDesk operates 6 days a week, between 9am and 5pm Mon-Fri and 9am-2pm Saturdays - call back service, providing free assistance via both telephone and e-mail.

What equipment will I need to access ADSL?

You will need an USB ADSL enabled modem, we provide one of these with your connection fee. You will need a new modem as the modem you use for your dial up service will NOT be compatible with what is needed for the ADSL service. The Modem we supply is a TP LINK ADSL 2+ One port Modem Router
