I am currently with Westnet and have been for over 2 years. I have a wireless modem which is an open networks 624w and a phone account with Westnet (Which I never use)
I have heard about naked broadband and am interested in finding out some more information regarding this.

Basically what I would like to do is churn from Westnet and keep everything I currently have except the phone bill and obviously a cheaper plan.
I still want to use my own modem and the wireless function, I know that it is ADSL2 enabled and that my exchange is up to speed too.

Has anyone else churned from Westnet? What is the procedure?

Thanks for your help.

I forgot to mention that I would like to start using VOIP to compensate for the loss of my landline.

Welcome to eXetel

edit: oh, this FAQ has you covered http://www.exetel.com.au/faq_naked_adsl2.php

Am I missing something here or is non phone Z actually $55 a month?

Not being funny just trying to get my facts straight.

Thanks for your reply and helpful links.

I'm not quite sure what you're thinking, but the total monthly cost for NonPhone Z* is $45/mth.

The price includes line rental, ADSL2 plan, 4GB peak + 48GB offpeak allowance, 1 x VoIP DID, and the first 100 national calls by VoIP.

There's other stuff too, but I don't want to sound like an advert.

For VOIP, MyNetFone is worth a look. It's what I use. Whilpoolsaver plan. $0/month with 10c calls. see /forum-replies.cfm?t=999797 or https://www.mynetfone.com.au/whirlpool

I havnt looked at Exetel VOIP plans for awhile; one reason I didnt go with them was they didn't have my area code. (But mynetphone did). Maybe this has changed now.
