New Sky Muster™ Plans Mean Users Will Never Run Out of Monthly Data
Activ8me, one of Australia’s largest providers of Satellite Internet, has announced the launch of nbn™ Sky Muster™ PRO.
Sky Muster™ PRO plans has been developed by Activ8me to shake up the residential nbn™ Sky Muster™ market, by providing more data and more choice for Sky Muster™ customers.
Designed to help provide peace of mind, Sky Muster™ PRO gives users a daily data limit rather than monthly.
In this way, Activ8me’s Sky Muster™ PRO users will never run out of monthly data…they will always have more data tomorrow.
A key pain-point in the current nbn™ Sky Muster™ satellite internet services is the monthly limit of data. Users have limited methods available to manage their data use, meaning they often run out of data with days or weeks left of the month, effectively cutting them off from internet until their next service month starts.
This can be especially difficult for families, where children can have access to the internet but limited understanding of how much data they’re using. Often families will be left with no data for the rest of the month, after a child updates their Xbox or downloads a large game.
With a daily limit, Sky Muster™ PRO customers are free to utilise their entire daily allowance with the peace of mind to know there will be more data to use the following day.
Up to 10GB per day is offered at the top speed tier of 25/5mbps. Plans are billed monthly with no contract and no initial joining fee. This data per day limit allows users to have up to 310GB of monthly data (in a 31-day month).
Sky Muster™ PRO works with all existing nbn™ Sky Muster™ equipment and changing from standard Sky Muster™ or Sky Muster™ PLUS to Sky Muster™ PRO can be done over the phone, only taking a few hours to activate in most cases.
Sky Muster™ PRO is also good for those who work from home, as it is compatible with all VPNs.
Activ8me’s Lincoln Marks said:
“Sky Muster’s™ is a great product serving rural and isolated Australians with an affordable and reliable Internet service, but its Achilles heel has always been data limits. The average Sky Muster™ user receives less than 45GB (Peak Time) per month, for most that’s just not enough. Sometimes people run out of data with weeks to go on their monthly plan – they still have bills to pay, kids to educate and work to be done. Sky Muster™ PRO give users a healthy daily data limit and a guarantee that they never run out of monthly data…”
Isolated Children’s Parents Association’s President, Alana Moller said:
“Having accessible data is a priority for families who rely heavily on satellite internet to educate their children in rural and remote areas of Australia. nbn™ Sky Muster™ PRO offers families an option in service that they haven’t had before by ensuring students won’t run out of monthly data. If they do reach their daily limit, they are up and running again the next day. This is an exciting initiative from Activ8me.”
Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia’s Melissa Perkins said:
“The RFDS has relied on Activ8me for several years as they bring connectivity to locations that just don’t have it – just as the RFDS brings health service access to parts of the country that just don’t have it. Activ8me helps the RFDS have internet at remote health clinic locations across the country.”
