Review Engin’s VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan Compare and Review the Engin VoIP Ignition Range To That of Other ISP’s

Posted February 3rd, 2012

Engin has launched three new plans that put together high speed ADSL2+ and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services in one attractive and affordable package. These packages are the VoIP Ignition Broadband Plans, and come in three different packages at $69, $89 and $109 per month.

Engin is Australia’s leading provider of broadband telephone services, and is one of the early providers of VoIP to small businesses and residential users. In the past, VoIP was only available to corporations and major businesses.

Engin’s VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan

Engin’s VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan has a lot of great features. It has a monthly allocation of 400 GB Anytime Data. This means that you can browse using your allocated monthly data at any time of the day without having to worry about peak or off peak times.

ADSL2+ broadband speeds are the fastest speeds out in the market, with download rates running up to 24 Mbit/s. Engin’s VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan runs on these speeds while you are still within your monthly allocated data. Once you go beyond the 400 GB, Engin does not charge you for the excess download data that you use. Instead, your plan speed is shaped to 256 kbps. While it is much slower than the ADSL2+ standard, it is not a bad speed for regular browsing, checking email and other browsing activities.

The Engin VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan can be availed on a month to month basis, or on a 24 month contract.

Pricing and Extras

Here is a quick comparison of the costs associated with the Engin VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan to get your broadband internet set up:

  • Setup fee – a month to month contract has an upfront setup fee of $99. The 24 month contract does not have a setup fee.
  • Hardware – both contracts come with a 4-port modem/router. However, the month to month contract prices start at $69. The 24 month contract already includes the modem/router as well as a bonus Voicebox.
  • Monthly fee – both month to month and 24 month contracts have the same monthly fee of $109. However, with the fees included during sign up for the month to month contract, it may be more economical to go with the 24 month contract, especially if you do plan to stick with the service for a long period of time. Note that if you have the 24 month contract but you want to discontinue the service before the period is over, you will be charged $15 for each remaining month of the term.

Engin also gives you the option to transfer your existing landline to their service for $28.95 a month. You get to keep your telephone number, but you have the clear connection that only VoIP can give.

Afterburners

If you want to get faster speed and cannot wait for your data allocation to reset next month, Engin offers Afterburners at $5 for every 2 GB. Afterburners top-up your data quota, allowing you to use your broadband service at the speed ADSL2+ is known for. You can top up your account with Anytime Boost even if you have not gone over the monthly data allowance. The price is also $5 for every 2 GB.

Engin’s VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan comes with 1 static Internet Protocol (IP) address.

VoIP Service

VoIP transmits voice calls over the broadband connection instead of the regular landline phone. Engin provides a dedicated voice channel for its VoIP services. This guarantees the clearest and best quality VoIP services, even if your connection is shaped.

It is also great to note that VoIP calls are not counted against your monthly allocated data quota. You can make as many calls as you want without it eating up your 400 GB allowance. VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan gives you unlimited local, national and mobile calls across Australia.

You can also make unlimited international landline calls from your home to eight countries on your Engin VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan. These countries include Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain (excludes Canary Islands), UK, and USA. You can also make international calls at 20 cents untimed, anytime to 20 other countries, including China, Greece, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, and Taiwan. This is great news for those who have friends and family in those countries and need to stay in touch often.

Engin also has their support team on hand to help you with any problems you may have with your account or service. You can call their Sydney based team anytime from Monday to Saturday for assistance.

Engin has a sound reputation for providing quality and reliable broadband services. The VoIP Ignition 109 Broadband Plan is a great option for heavy Internet users, such as those who need to be online 24/7 be it for business, school or other needs. Engin offers a 30-day free trial, which gives you the freedom to test whether their service fits your needs. At those features and pricing, you should find it will be a good deal.
