If you bundle a Netspace ADSL1 internet service with one of their home phone plans, you can save $10 each month on your monthly phone line rental.
Netspace offers their customers a choice between three ADSL1 speeds. We usually recommend a speed of at least 1500kbps if you would like to use the internet to stream videos or use a VoIP service such as Skype. A 512kbps speed will be sufficient if you only use the internet to browse websites and check your emails.
The plans range from a no contract length, or a 6 12, or 24-month contract; the shorter the time period, the higher the setup fee. You can also get a new modem subsidised in the setup amount, even if you choose to go wireless.

There is a choice between two different home phone plans that you can bundle your internet service with. There is a $29.95 plan with 20c local calls and $2.48 for the first 20 minutes of calls to mobiles or a $31.95 plan with 17c local calls and $1.98 for the first 10 minutes of mobile calls.
Pros: Cheap local calls, a choice between a short, medium or long contract length, very competitive plan pricing and no excess download charges.
Cons: There are no calls included in the plan and some downloads are split between peak and off peak times.
Similar plans to the Netspace bundles are the home phone and internet bundles with TPG and iPrimus.
These plans are available as of July 2010 but are subject to change.
