OPTUS HELPS AUSSIES GET BROADBAND SETUP, FAST!

Home Wireless Broadband powered by Optus’ superfast 4G Plus network

Optus has introduced a new Home Wireless Broadband solution, perfect for Aussie renters who need to set up a reliable internet connection (fast!) or those living in areas that can’t get access to broadband. Powered by Optus’ 4G Plus network, Home Wireless Broadband is a simple and convenient out-of-the-box modem that can be set up quickly and easily. Vicki Brady, Managing Director of Marketing and Product at Optus, said, “For a big group of customers, getting a timely and decent internet connection is a real challenge. Aussie renters, who move home frequently, find it particularly frustrating to disconnect and reconnect each time, often waiting several days or weeks before they can access the internet. “Optus’ Home Wireless Broadband offers a simple plug-and-play solution so customers wait minutes, not weeks, to log onto the World Wide Web once a SIM is activated. Coupled with our biggest wireless data inclusion ever offered on our 4G Plus network, customers can get connected quickly with 50GB of data and get on with their lives.”

‘Plug-and-play’ Unlike a broadband connection, which can require a technician and generally takes a few days to hook up, getting connected to Home Wireless Broadband is straightforward. Once a SIM is active, customers simply insert it into the modem and they’re ready to hop online. Customers who move home and remain in an area where Home Wireless Broadband is available can simply take their modem with them and connect from their new abode. “Customers don’t need additional hassles when moving home or simply because they want a better broadband experience. Optus’ Home Wireless Broadband makes it easy and brings to life the possibility of a more flexible and convenient internet solution,” said Ms Brady.

Ready, set, GO! Loaded with a generous 50GB data limit, Home Wireless Broadband is available on short- and long-term plans, letting customers choose the one that’s right for them.
