Internode recently launched the Naked DSL service to new numbers, and within weeks had garnered over 1000 people signing up to the service. The success has prompted the company to rollout Naked DSL to existing phone services.
It’ll cost you $129 to make the switch – which is $20 cheaper than setting up a new number – and plans start at $60 per month for 5GB worth of data. For $10 per month extra, you can add a VoIP service to your bill, which includes $10 worth of calls.
The service is available at about 350 exchanges, although you’ll need to enter your phone number on Internode’s website to find out whether you’re eligible.
The process of switching is supposed to be a relatively painless one, but they would say that. if anybody decides to make the switch, let us know how it went in comments.

Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 4:55 PMI am moving to our new house this Saturday and I am seriously considering getting ‘nodes naked service + VoIP Phone.
I have been with Internode the entire time I have used broadband, including moving from Adelaide to Brisbane. I think I have convinced say 5+ people to also swap over :)
Hopefully this Naked internet is as good as their other services!

Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 5:13 PMInitial trial was $40 for 30gb/mth and free local/national calls. This is now $100/mth for 30gb + you pay for local/national calls. Why ?
IInet are currently playing ‘bait and switch’ games with their offer for naked DSL and TPG aren’t responding to anyone’s questions after they announced impending naked DSL on their forums almost a year ago.
When will a company step up and stop reaming Australians for internet/telephony services.
It’s a ridiculous state of affairs right now. Those who say otherwise are ++unaware.

Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 5:15 PMMy mate just applied for Internode ADSL2. Technicians were meant to come around and install it (whatever that means) but the day before it was scheduled he got a faceless email merely saying “Request canceled – not enough copper”. Weird. And potentially rude. Considering he was told on the phone there was ‘plenty of copper in his area’.

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 at 6:49 AMNaked DSL is overpriced. The idea of not paying line rental sounds great, but the price of the plans means it costs more than paying line rental anyway.
I am getting line rental + 10GB a month for $60, if I could get naked DSL (10GB) for $50 I’d switch.
