Access Only is a two year old organisation that was three years in the making! It's where you can get the highest quality/lowest cost dial up access in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. We're not an ISP, we're an IAP (Internet Access Provider).

Our business is based on the policy that you don't like to pay for something you don't use. So we offer "Access Only" the lowest cost way for us to provide you with Access to the sites you know and use. We run at 6.5:1 Modem Ports :User which is world leading.

Access Only is run by long-standing industry professionals (with backgrounds in telecommunications, data networking, software development and services marketing.) who recognised the need to reduce costs of access for experienced users (after all, why should they have to bear the cost of newbies on the net?). So if you are a moderatley experienced user, this service is for you!

If you are able to complete the easy sign up steps (most experienced users should have no problems), have a credit card  and a mobile phone (we SMS you a temporary password to access the net) you'll be online and reducing your costs in as little as 3 minutes. 

If you don't have both of these, you can still get access to our great rates, by registering and mailing us your cheque/money order.  Complete the online registration, then select the Pay by Cheque option.  The instructions are on the register page

The offering is targetted for "reasonably experienced" users who want high quality access but are "fairly self sufficient". Access Only only provides on-line help and emailed support at this stage (because the telephone and email server support costs are what you are saving when you buy access with us). This model is succesful in Europe and the US, so we figured that Australians deserved the chance to get low cost access too.

We also offer "branded" access to corporate, government and NFP institutions email us for details at resale@accessonly.com the start up costs for this are from as low as $516.00.
