1.  Better Performance


1.1  Constant Bandwidth

No Bandwidth Reduction (Shaping). The whole point of ADSL is high performance, unlike some other ADSL providers OZtell does NOT cut down the bandwidth for the rest of the month once the monthly traffic threshold of an account has been exceeded.

With Constant Bandwidth, you get high performance all the time - not only towards the beginning of the month.

1.2  Public IP Addresses

A lot of server applications (from file sharing to games) cannot run without public IP addresses. Unlike some other ADSL providers who give out private addresses, OZtell gives out public IP addresses on the global Internet, so you are part of the real thing!
.
With Public IP Addresses, you get access to ALL online games, movies and applications available on the Internet with not restructions. The IP addresses impose NO limit on what can be done on the connected computers.

1.3  Multiple IP Addresses

You can optionally get up to 16 public IP addresses (14 usable by connected devices) for each ADSL connection! These 8 public IP addresses are in addition to the hundreds of private IP addresses you can also have on the same OZtell ADSL connection.

With Multiple IP Addresses, you can have many people, computers, servers and Internet appliances all connected to the global Internet at the same time, all the time. .

1.4  Static IP Addresses

Unlike some ADSL providers who give out dynamic addresses. All the public IP addresses given to OZtell ADSL customer are static. This make it possible to run any type of Internet servers (email, web, phone, video, file etc.) on the ADSL line.

With Static IP Addresses, you can actively contribute content and applications to the Internet as well as getting information and services from it. Domain name systems (like www.yourdomain.com) maps properly and quickly to your servers.

1.5  Free Traffic Passthru

Some ADSL providers block certain ports on their ADSL connections. For example, Port 25 (smtp), Port 80 (http) etc.

OZtell ADSL does not block any at IP port, providing a free pass through of any data traffic, giving maximum freedom and power to our ADSL customers.
 

 


2.  Better Features

2.1  Global Roaming Access

In case you arrived in a place without OZtell ADSL, whether within Australia or anywhere in the world. You can use OZtell Internet's Global Roaming Access account. This allows you to access the Internet using an analog modem through a local dialup ISP in your area, using the same login ID and passwordi worldwide.

In the rare case that your OZtell ADSL is down, you can also use the Global Roaming Access account to access the Internet with an analog modem.

Note that joining Global Roaming Access is free for all OZtell Internet Access customers (ADSL or dial-up) but you have to pay per second rates for the actual dial-up connections. The rate varies from country to country, please contact OZtell Support for details.

2.2  Super Email Box

OZtell ADSL provides you with the most powerful email box in the world.
@oztralia.com

* Email using the web, wap, phone, sms.
* You can listen to your emails while driving!
* Access other emails like hotmail, yahoo, pop3 in one inbox
* Encryption protects your private communications
* Remote storage option allows email folders to be accessed anywhere
* Virus and SPAM blocking

2.3  Download Statistic

OZtell allows you to check how much data you have downloaded via the web - no more guess work required ... well, not that you should really care, since our prices are so low. But it is always nice to know what's going on.

2.4  Internet Phone Calls

OZtell provides you with free Internet phone software (H323 and SIP) so you can start using the Internet for your voice needs as well as data needs.

All calls made over the Internet end-to-end are free. OZtell provides free Internet phone directory look up (SIP and H323) for its ADSL customers, so people can call each other easily without using complex IP addresses.

In cases where one party of the phone conversation is not connected to the Internet (like people on normal phones), OZtell provides gateways to bridge Internet phones to real phones (like mobiles and landline phones). This way you can call any phone in the world from your computer or let any phone in the world call you on your computer. Since Internet is used to by-pass the traditional telcos you can make long distance calls at close to local call rates!

For those who want the added convenience of calling without a computer, OZtell can provide Internet Handsets that looks like a normal phone but plugs into the ADSL connected local area network. These handsets make calls over the Internet, sharing the ADSL connection with your computers.

2.5  Comprehensive Remote Control

Available from 10th January 2004

OZtell can provide software and hardware so you can comprehensively monitor and control a remote site.

Multiple video cameras (with or without sound) can be connected to the ADSL connection. People on the Internet with the right access permissions can then selectively monitored specific views via the cameras.

Multiple power points can also be connected to the ADSL connection allowing you to turn them on or off remotely. There are also ability to dim lights and close curtains!

Multiple computers on the ADSL connection can be accessed remotely
through a web browser as if you are sitting there in front fo them. There is no need to go back home to get that file or that email - just access the computer and related peripherials (like printers) - direct from work!
 

 


3.  Better Price

Some ADSL providers offer “unlimited” accounts, but unlimited what? Unlimited time or unlimited data? All ADSL connections are unlimited time by nature, so claiming that is just a marketing gimmick. OZtell ADSL does not have a lot of the hidden costs normally associated with other ADSL providers:

3.1  High Monthly Traffic Threshold

Some ADSL providers offer low monthly threshold like 100Mbytes (some even offer 0 Mbytes!). This means that the user will be have to pay for extra traffic very quickly.

OZtell ADSL offers monthly thresholds between 2 to 20 Gbytes (which are suitable for most normal applications).

3.2  Low Excess Megabyte Charge

The point of a fast connection is to handle large amount of data. Some ADSL providers have a low base monthly fee but a very high excess megabyte charge - resulting in a high total monthly fee.

OZtell ADSL has one of the lowest per megabyte charge in the industry. This gives you confidence in accessing large content like video knowing that it will not cost you much should the already high threshold is exceeded.

3.3  Only Download Measured

Some ADSL providers measure Upload as well as Download. OZtell only measures Download for both threshold and excess, thus saving our customers a lot of money, especially for those that uses the ADSL for peer-to-peer applications (like file swapping and games) as well as for server applications (like web servers and video broadcasts).

3.4  No Long Contract

OZtell does not lock our ADSL customers into long term contracts. The minimum service perod is for the first 6 months only and there is also a way to disconnect within those 6 months by paying a disconnection fee.

No money is wasted "sitting the contract out".

3.5  No Preselection

Unlike some ADSL providers we do not require pre-selection of our phone service. This give you maximum flexibility in taking advantage of any low phone rates at anytime.

There is no hidden expense of having to pay a higher voice bill in order to compensate for a lower data bill.

3.6  Special for Existing ADSL User

Existing ADSL User can change over to us with reduced setup fee and reduced downtime.

We will even contact your existing ADSL provider on behalf of you!
Contact us about this special change over service.

3.7  Free Traffic Between Users

Traffic between OZtell ADSL User within the same state (like NSW, VIC etc.) is NOT measured towards the monthly Traffic Threshold, making them essentially free!

3.8  Free Traffic Between Servers

Traffic between OZtell ADSL User and our News and Games servers is NOT measured towards the monthly Traffic Threshold, making them essentially free!
