  • Do I need a Telecom landline to get ADSL Bitstream or Naked DSL?

    You do need to be subscribed to a landline service to get our ADSL Bitstream. If you do not wish to subscribe to a landline then our Naked DSL service will work for you.

  • How fast is the ADSL service?

    It will depend on your location, the state of your house wiring and factors such as the distance from your exchange. Theoretical speeds can reach up to 24Mbps on ADSL2+ enabled exchanges and 8Mbps on ADSL1 exchanges.

  • Will I need to pay a fee to Telecom as well?

    No, you will receive one bill from ThinAir Communications for your broadband access.

  • Can I share my Internet connection with other computers in my house?

    Yes, you will need to purchase a router (or wireless router if you want wireless inside your house)

  • What happens if I cancel my connection within my contract period?

    You will be liable to pay for the remainder of months left on your contract. For example if you signed up to our Bitstream 10GB plan and cancelled 2 months into your contract you would be liable for 10 months x $59.65.
