Coverage and site reviews
Can I check what’s available at my address?
Yes. Send it through our Check your address page and someone on our team will look it up and come back to you with the options and prices. It isn’t an instant online result, because what works best depends on the site as well as the network.
What area do you normally service?
We’re based in Ipswich and support businesses across South East Queensland, including Somerset, Lockyer Valley and Brisbane west. Contact us to discuss work outside these areas.
Can you support sites outside the normal local radius?
Sometimes. For existing clients and special Queensland projects, we can coordinate contractors or project-specific installs by arrangement.
What information should I send for a site review?
Send the address, your current provider, what isn’t working, how many people use the connection, which systems can’t go down, and whether you need internet, phones, mobile or backup.
Internet and backup
What is business NBN?
Business NBN is an internet service delivered over the NBN network with business-focused plan options, support expectations and add-ons such as static IP where available.
Can you help with satellite internet for a business?
Yes. We can assess whether satellite internet makes sense for the site, including clear-sky placement, cabling, router handover and support expectations.
Do you offer static IP addresses?
Static IP options are available on suitable business internet plans. We confirm availability during the plan and site review.
Can 4G or 5G be used as backup internet?
Yes. Mobile failover can be used with compatible routers to keep critical systems online when the primary service has a fault.
Is satellite internet better than NBN?
Not automatically. NBN can be the better primary service at many addresses, while satellite internet is often useful for rural, difficult or backup scenarios. The right answer depends on the site.
Phones and porting
What is SIP voice?
SIP voice carries your business calls over your internet connection instead of old copper phone lines. Your phone system connects to SIP lines, which we provide.
Do you provide business phone systems?
Yes. We set up hosted phone systems, manage extensions and call routing, provide the phone lines, move your numbers across and support it afterwards.
Can we keep our existing phone numbers?
In many cases, yes. Number porting needs to be checked and planned before the service is changed.
What can go wrong with number porting?
Issues usually come from incorrect provider records, account name mismatches, linked services or poor cutover planning. We collect details early to reduce those risks.
Do we need desk phones?
Not always. Our phone systems work with desk phones, desktop apps, a web browser and mobile apps, depending on how your team works.
Accounts and support
Is there a contract?
Most of our plans have a 12-month agreement term. You can cancel during the term, but an early termination fee applies if you do. The amount is set out in your service agreement before you sign. We don’t force bundles, so you only sign up for the services you need.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes. Every price on this website includes GST. Connection and modem costs are shown on each plan.
Is the data unlimited?
Yes, all our NBN and fixed wireless plans include unlimited data. Mobile plans include the data allowance shown on each plan.
Who do we contact for support?
Contact us directly for faults, billing and changes: call 07 3173 1445 during business hours or send a message. If your IT is involved, we coordinate with A&S Tech for you.
Can you help if the issue is router or Wi-Fi related?
Yes. We work out whether the problem is the network, the router, your internal cabling or Wi-Fi, or a device, and fix it or tell you who needs to.
Do you work with managed IT clients?
Yes. Many services are supplied to businesses that also need managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud or helpdesk support through A&S Tech.
