They are not the cheapest business NBN plans, but Commander's upcoming plans do at least provide several hundred gigabytes of data each month.
For some people, fast, reliable Internet speeds are nice to have. For others, they are critical for their day-to-day business.
The step up from ADSL to the NBN should in theory provide much more reliable and in some cases, faster speeds. There's also another step up you can make, from a home Internet plan to a business Internet plan.
You can read all about the difference between home and business broadband in our free NBN eBook.
You can now add Commander to the list of business NBN Internet providers to choose from, with the company today announcing four NBN plans:
NBN Business Fibre Plans |
||||
Plan name |
Line Interface Speed |
Quota |
Stand Alone |
Min Total Cost |
Business Fibre |
50Mbps / 20Mbps |
300 GB |
$114.95 |
$2,758.80 |
Business Fibre Plus |

Business Fibre Plus with Enhanced Support |
100Mbps / 40Mbps |
1000 GB |
$161.95 |
$3,886.80 |
Note the relatively large data quotas. While you can find 50Mbps/20Mbps business plans from as cheap as $69 from Optus, Optus provides 100GB of data per month at that price. Others offer as little as 40GB for up to $94.95 a month.
Commander's fastest plan with the most amount of data - the 100Mbps/40Mbps plan with 1,000GB - isn't the cheapest on the market. For example, with iiNet you can get the same speed and download quota for $129.95.
Still, it gives an idea of what business providers are charging.
