Key wholesale features:

The business nbn™ Satellite Service provides a choice of three wholesale speeds on VISP for service providers to offer customers:

  • 30/1Mbps^
  • 30/5Mbps^
  • 13/13Mbps^

Standard monthly data quotas offer up to 1,000GB/mth with no speed limiting if a data quota is exceeded. If standard quotas are exceeded, additional data quotas will be charged in 100GB increments.

VISP allows service providers to pool the data quotas of businesses with multiple premises – effectively enabling end customers to better manage their data usage and reduce costs.
Voice traffic can be prioritised using Committed Information Rate (CIR) data over nbn’s satellite network.§
nbn deploys VISP services with dual nbn-provided internet links at each POI to improve network availability.
The VISP 13/13 Mbps† wholesale service can be deployed in ‘stand-by’ mode–with wholesale bandwidth provided only when it is triggered by the service provider. This enables service providers to offer a disaster recovery solution through the business nbn™ Satellite Service for businesses within the business satellite service footprint.

^An end customer’s experience using the business nbn™ Satellite Service, including speeds and other performance characteristics, depend on a range of factors, such as the latency limitations inherent in satellite communications, the particular product and product features that have been selected by the service provider, the configuration of the products and product features being delivered, the time of usage in relation to certain internet-based access products, and other factors outside of nbn’s control (like their equipment quality, software, chosen broadband plan, signal reception, or how their service provider designs its network).
†nbn provides wholesale services to phone and internet providers. nbn™ wholesale speed tiers available to providers vary depending on the access technology in an end customer’s area. An end customer’s experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn™ broadband access network, depends on the nbn™ access network technology and configuration over which services are delivered to their premises, whether they are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside of nbn’s control (like their equipment quality, software, chosen broadband plan, signal reception, or how their provider designs its network).
