Westnet's largest ever regional investment brings more broadband competition to the Sunshine Coast

Wednesday 24 January 2011

More than 30,000 homes and businesses in the Sunshine Coast will have access to more broadband competition as Westnet announces its biggest rollout of superfast ADSL2+ broadband services ever.

Westnet and parent company iiNet have invested an additional $5 million in high speed broadband infrastructure with Buderim, Maroochydore and Caboolture the first centres in Queensland to receive major network upgrades in the next six months.

Residents in these centres will have access to fast internet speeds, Westnet's award winning customer service and an even more competitive broadband market.

Michael Malone, Chief Executive Officer of Westnet, said the company was committed to bringing real competition, better service and an understanding of the needs of people living and working on the Sunshine Coast.

"We want to bring the benefits of superfast broadband to as many homes and businesses as we can. This year we will build more than double the capacity of what we delivered last year and offer plans at more competitive prices than ever before," Mr Malone said.

"At Westnet, we're all about connecting people to their family and friends. Our Sunshine Coast customers will soon be able to connect more affordably and more easily. By teaming one of our broadband2+ plans with our Netphone service, you'll get cheaper phone calls, useful technology, better performance, better customer service and fast, reliable internet in one package."
