AARNet Charging

AARNet currently charges for access and use to a number of services, this page details the current charging information on each specific service.

AARNet 3

The roll out of the AARNet3 network provided significant increases in capacity to clients and the charging regime has changed to remove the cost inhibitors for high capacity applications and encourage innovative use of the network, as well as greater certainty of costs. The model will be subject to periodic review.

AARNet3 charges are different for Shareholders (Members) and for Non Shareholders (Associates and Affiliates).  Billing On Net and Off Net subscriptions are calculated in October each year, and invoices must be delivered soon after to allow sufficient time for customers to pay in advance for the following calendar year. For those invoices not paid in full and in advance, On Net and Off Net Subscriptions, and Access Charges are invoiced by quarter and in advance. All Usage charges, including Excess Traffic, are invoiced retrospectively after each quarter.

Optical Network

Billing for Optical Network connections and services starts on contract commencement date, and invoices are issued quarterly in advance thereafter.

Voice over IP on.net

The AARNet VoIP on.net service is provided to AARNet connected customers as part of the subscription fee.
