Can you get Optus Cable Broadband?

Getting Started
Installation of Optus Cable Broadband
Optus Cable Broadband needs to be professionally installed. If you are switching to Optus, there is no BYO Modem option for Optus Cable and you must get an Optus Cable Modem.
Professional Installation
Professional Installation is necessary for installing Optus Cable Broadband and requires a technician visiting your house.
Wired & Wireless Modems
Unless you are using a wireless modem or wired router with additional cabling to your computer, it is most likely that you will need to have your computer positioned near the phone socket in your house. If you wish to network multiple computers in your home to the Internet, you will require either a Home WiFi modem/router or a wired 4 port modem/router. If you are using two or more computers in the house, your download allowance will be shared amongst all the computers in the house i.e. there is not a download allowance allocated to each computer.
Features & Benefits
Longer Off-Peak Period
Schedule your downloads and enjoy Optus’ long off-peak periods, 12am – 12pm AEST/ADST.
Peak: 12pm – 12am AEST/ADST, Off-peak: 12am – 12pm AEST/ADST.
Flat Monthly Fee - Shaped Plans
All Optus plans are 'shaped' or 'throttled' where the speed of your internet connection is slowed to 128kbps when you exceed your monthly allowance. You will not be charged excess fees for going over your allowance. You can always upgrade to a higher allowance with Optus. A $50 plan downgrade fee applies if you change to a broadband plan with a lower minimum monthly access fee at any time during your agreement period.
