Caspa & Tivo Free Access
Customers of ONE can now enjoy as much access to CASPA traffic as they like for free on any Unlimited ADSL Broadband service†.
CASPA is a Streaming Media Service operated by Tivo, makers of the popular Personal Video Recorder (PVR) and Media Centre.
CASPA offers pay-per-view movies and TV shows to be streamed to your Tivo via your broadband connection, as well as other free content.*
Tivo users will also enjoy the benefits of free access to Tivo updates and program updates.
Data access to all of these features will not count toward your broadband ADSL download quota, and doesn’t attract any data traffic charges when accessing the features via your ONE Unlimited Broadband service.
This partnership between ONE and Tivo comes at a time when there is rapidly increasing demand for high quality digital entertainment, and parent’s concerns grow over their children’s access to copyrighted material through illegitimate channels, the offer from ONE is the perfect solution to provide access to High Quality, legal content.
For information on Tivo, visit the mytivo website.

† Note: Data is not charged or counted towards download quotas on ONE Unlimited broadband plans only. Free traffic not included on Mobile Broadband.
* The CASPA streaming media service is provided by Tivo. Caspa features paid and non-paid services. Customers will require a compatible Tivo purchased separately from an authorised retailer. refer to mytivo.com.au for more info.

Fibre to the Home Trial
ONE is making bold new moves into next generation broadband services by setting up a trial of super-fast Fibre-to-the-home broadband services, which will take place starting May this year in Point Cook, Victoria.
Through a partnership with Telstra, ONE will deliver high-speed internet over Optical Fibre cables that will be installed in select housing estates within the suburb.
It is estimated that up to 1600 homes in Point Cook will be eligible to take part in the trial, with broadband access speeds of 100 Megabits down and 5 Megabits up.
At that speed, Fibre is capable of speeds more than four times faster than existing ADSL2+, however the distinct advantage that fibre has over ADSL broadband is signal loss and electro-magnetic interference which is a major factor in ADSL technology is almost non-existent in Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Broadband. On an ADSL2+ service, only a minority of subscribers will ever receive a full 24 Megabit service, whilst the majority receive around 10 Megabits or below.
On Fibre broadband, all subscribers will receive 100 Megabit access speeds†, allowing simultaneous use of high-speed, bandwidth intensive applications.
Take the scenario of the kids streaming a high definition video from Youtube. Even on an ADSL2+ service, this may take a while to buffer and possibly slow down other users in the house trying to load a webpage or download email.
With Fibre, the kids could be streaming that hi-def youtube video , whilst dad enjoys a high-definition movie streaming to his IPTV enabled unit in the lounge, and mum uploads large files to the tax office from the computer in the study, all happening at the same time, without lag, without interruption.
Prices for the trial start at $69.00 per month, which includes free equipment and installation.
Pricing Schedule
| Speed | Price |
| 8 Megabits | $69.00 |
| 30 Megabits | $89.00 |
| 100 Megabits | $129.00 |
ONE is accepting expressions of interest from residents in the point cook community who wish to check availability and enroll in the FTTH trial.
