Say goodbye to excess fees with Vicnet SOHO Broadband DSL

Vicnet offers Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Internet Services. Our Broadband DSL account comes with a range of data options.

SOHO DSL is an "always on" Internet Service running at about six times the speed of conventional dial up services. SOHO DSL eliminates unnecessary modem disconnection and provides the Internet while continuing your normal telephone services.

Any Vicnet client who wishes to upgrade to our new SOHO DSL can either email sales@vicnet.net.au or call our office on 8664 7001 Monday to Friday between 9.00am to 5.00pm. Clients wishing to upgrade to our new Internet Service can bundle any existing fees and email addresses into the new Internet Service.

SOHO DSL comes with the following:

  • up to 6 email addresses
  • Unlimited time on line
  • 10mb free web space
  • Downloads per month at 5Gb & 10Gb limits
  • Accounts can be "throttled" when monthly data limits reached to 56k avoiding excess fees
  • Speed begins at 256 kbps download and 64 kbps upload

There are no limits to the number of computers you can connect to this SOHO DSL and multiple users can connect simultaneously. You can also use your conventional phone services while surfing the Internet. This eliminates the need for the second phone line which many clients have installed to avoid constant busy signals.

Each account is available as a Light or Super option depending on the monthly download limits
