Could you define bundle and naked broadband in simple terms?
09/02/2011
A bundle plan could refer to combining two or more of your services so that they are invoiced together by the same company. Examples of services you could bundle together are a broadband plan, home phone, mobile phone and mobile wireless broadband. Different service providers offer different deals when it comes to packaging multiple services together.
The benefits of bundling two or more services together include less paperwork each month because you are only dealing with the one company. Many companies will also offer you discounts for choosing to have more than one service with them. Additionally, some companies charge admin fees for things like receiving a paper bill each month, so you may not pay as much in admin fees if you choose only one company for multiple services.
Naked broadband is ADSL2+ broadband without having an active home phone line. It is targeted toward people who use the internet but don’t need a home phone because they use their mobiles to make and receive calls, or use an internet calling service such as Skype instead. The advantage of getting Naked DSL is not having to pay phone line rental, which often adds about $30 to your bill each month.

Initial checks show that you can receive Naked DSL through the Elizabeth exchange in South Australia. If you are interested in disconnecting your home phone line to avoid paying phone line rental each month (but still want to get broadband), companies such as TPG (1300 106 571) iiNet (1300 137 765), or iPrimus (1300 137 794) can do this for you.
iPrimus offers the cheapest Naked broadband price at only $49.95 per month. This would give you 20GB to use from noon till midnight, and an additional 20GB to use from midnight till noon. This would be enough for medium broadband usage. The plan is available either on a 12 or 24-month contract.
