[AusNOG] Zoom Broadband another Epic broadband in the making

[Chad Kelly]

Yeah I get that.
Bit concerned they’ve only invested $300000 which is nothing for an ISP. You need $10000000 at least just to get something half decent in terms of network.
You need a few more million for marketing on top of that.
This is why it works for the likes of Australia post as they already have a captive audience to sell to and they’ve gone layer 3 so not much investment required layer 2 you need millions to do it properly.

This is why I went for the business side of the market partly because we were already a business to business provider but the margins on business broadband are so much better than residential.

Hi
Just to clarify it wasn’t so much the plans pricing that was concerning me, but more the lack of margin.
$3 per customer isn’t a lot for things like support and monitoring etc, as I understand it the lower NBN plans you should be making around $7 to $10 per customer and the higher ones $20 plus.
End of the day its up to each provider to make their own decisions on margins etc I think it will be interesting to see how they go anyway.
Regards Chad.

Their retail prices are almost identical to ours, I think they’re pretty reasonable especially if they’re an RSP.

Hi All .
Came across this new provider on Whingepool (whirlpool) while doing some casual browsing www.zoombroadband.com.au<http://www.zoombroadband.com.au> .
Pricing looks very much unsustainable and the business model horrifies me.
Plus this post on Ozbargain https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/739835?page=4#comment
Look at page 5.
Now I know the margins on NBN aren’t fantastic but $3 I wouldn’t even waste time with.
I mean I don’t want to discourage new players from entering the market and giving it a crack but I think you at least need to be able to walk before you can run.
Also you need to comply with the TIO requirements and the Comms alliance for ISPs. As in the codes of conduct.
Regards Chad.
