FAST Fibre Services
- Service Description
- Wholesale FAST Fibre Service Description
- FAST Fibre is a service that enables connectivity between an End User’s premises and the Cytrack’s appointed Carrier Network.
- FAST Fibre service can be delivered to the End User’s premises over a number of Access Network Types.
- FAST Fibre service is supplied using a Network Terminating Unit (NTU) which will be installed within the End User’s premises.
- The maximum bandwidth and speeds available at the End User’s premise/s are dependent on the Access Network Type specified on the Order for Service. The service speeds may be reduced due to technical parameters including, but not limited to Third Party Access Type or Third Party Service Provider restrictions, equipment used, network overheads, the number of simultaneous End Users being served and interference with in-building cabling or wiring.
- The NTU (which is part of Cytrack’s appointed Carrier Equipment) will have Ethernet ports. Each port can be configured separately to acquire different Services from Cytrack’s appointed Carrier. Currently, the Cytrack’s appointed Carrier Services that can be supplied using FAST Fibre include:
- e-LAN,
- e-Line,
- IP-Line
- IP-VPN, and
- ISDN/SIP Voice,
(each “Available Service“, together “Available Services“).
Cytrack’s appointed Carrier may add new Services to, or remove Services from, the list of Available Services from time to time.
Fast Fibre can also be delivered with no NTU on some Access Network Types. In this scenario, only one Cytrack’s appointed Carrier Available service can be supplied on the Fast Fibre service.
Some Available Services may not be accessible on certain Access Network Types. You may request from Your Account Manager a current list of the Available Services.
- NTU and Bandwidth
- As described above, multiple Available Services can be delivered over FAST Fibre via a single physical connection, with each Available Service provided with a dedicated vLAN to a service hand off port on the NTU.
- As part of ordering the FAST Fibre service, You must nominate a bandwidth for each port on the NTU.
- The maximum aggregate bandwidth varies across the Access Network Types. You may choose to use the maximum aggregate bandwidth on one port on the NTU.
- Bandwidth allocation can be adjusted subsequently.
- Within 14 days of the termination of the acquisition of a FAST Fibre service for any reason, You must return the NTU to Cytrack. Cytrack reserves the right to charge you a fee of $800 (ex GST) if you fail to return the NTU in accordance with this clause.

Number of Hours over applicable Restoration Time Service Restoration Rebate 2 – 4 hrs 10% of the total monthly Charges for the affected FAST Fibre service and accompanying Access. > 4 and ≤ 6 hrs 15% of the total monthly Charges for the affected FAST Fibre service and accompanying Access. > 6 and ≤ 12 hrs 25% of the total monthly Charges for the affected FAST Fibre service and accompanying Access. > 12 hours 30% of the total monthly Charges for the affected FAST Fibre service and accompanying Access. Table 7 — Service Restoration Rebates
- The Service Restoration Rebates are calculated on the basis of the total monthly recurring charges applicable to the month in which the Interrupted Fault(s) occurs for the relevant Service and Access.
- Example — an Interrupted Fault occurs at a Metro Site on Cytrack’s appointed Carrier infrastructure which results in a Service being non-operational for 6 hours. The restoration service target for this Site is 4 hours. Restoration takes 2 hours longer than targeted. As such the Customer will be entitled to claim a rebate for 10% of the total monthly Charges for the eligible Service at that Site.
- Rebates for a failure to meet an enhanced Service Level for NBN Infrastructure as described in clause 1.4 of this Annexure A will be the same as the amount of rebate paid by NBN in respect of the particular NBN Service.
- Subject to the rebate conditions and exemptions listed in this Annexure A and in the event of Cytrack’s appointed Carrier failing to meet the standard Service Restoration Targets for an Interrupted Fault in Table 5, the following rebates will apply.
- Rebate Conditions
The following general conditions apply to Rebates:
- Rebates apply from the first full calendar month that the eligible Service is operational;
- Where the rebate is available, the rebate is the only remedy in the event of any failure to meet the defined target (where the rebate is not available, no remedy is available);
- You must apply for the rebate by contacting the Cytrack’s appointed Carrier Wholesale Service Centre and following the prescribed process for obtaining rebates within 30 calendar days of the end of the month to which the rebate applies;
- The rebate is only to be applied by way of a credit, and cannot be redeemed for cash;
- The maximum rebate available for each eligible Service in any month will not exceed 100% of the total monthly Charges for that eligible Service; and
- Rebates will not apply where one or more of the Rebate Exemptions (outlined below) apply.
- Rebate Exemptions
You will not be entitled to a Service Restoration Rebate where one or more of the following applies:
- the Interrupted Fault is directly or indirectly caused by a Planned Outage;
- disruption or delay in restoring the Service is caused or contributed to by You;
- You have failed to pay Charges to Cytrack’s appointed Carrier when due and payable;
- the Interrupted Fault was directly or indirectly caused by a power interruption at Your Site;
- the Interrupted Fault is directly or indirectly caused by a Third Party Service Provider or as a result of a fault on a Third Party Service Provider’s network, unless a rebate is paid by NBN for the relevant enhanced Service Level option selected at the time of ordering the applicable Service; or
- the Interrupted Fault is directly or indirectly caused by a Force Majeure Event.

Annexure B
- Available Services Descriptions
- e-LAN
- e-LAN is a virtual private network service and establishes layer 2 virtual private LAN services (VPLS) where the Customer may manage its own layer 3 requirements and CPE.
- At each Site, the Customer may select a Quality of Service (QoS) package which will determine the priority of the traffic as it is carried across the network. Available QoS packages are:
- Best Efforts (BE) QoS, where all traffic is prioritised on a best efforts basis;
- Business Data (BD) QoS, where all traffic to the Site is carried with the business data class of service which is a higher priority to BE;
- Simple QoS, where traffic is separately prioritised into 6 separate classes of service and the traffic is delivered based on a Weighted Round Robin queuing method;
- Flexible QoS which enables the Customer to logically divide the bandwidth at a Site and separately allocate to each portion one of the 6 available priority levels.
- Multicast is supported for e-LAN. The default multicast capability of an e-LAN Service is up to 2Mbps of multicast traffic per e-LAN Link which is then broadcast out all links in the e-LAN except the Link from which it was received.
- The Service Commencement Date for e-LAN occurs when the primary Site (which is the first in this Order Form) and one other Site are connected and able to pass traffic. Charging for each Site will commence as each is activated after the Service Commencement Date.
- e-Line
- e-Line provides point to point layer 2 connectivity between the two nominated Sites, an A-end and a B-end.
- One Site can be the A-End for many different Sites where the access type at the A- End Site has Ethernet Multiple Service Access.
- There are a range of variants available: Carrier (or TC1) e-Line, Business (or TC2) e-Line, Standard (or TC3) e-Line, Partner Link. The underlying network infrastructure at the Site may dictate the variant that is available.
- IP-Line
- IP-Line provides access to the Internet.
- Except for Cytrack’s appointed Carrier allocated WAN Public IP addresses, or unless expressly provided for in the Order for Service, the Service does not include IP addresses. Where Cytrack’s appointed Carrier provides Public IP addresses, the Customer agrees that:
- Cytrack’s appointed Carrier grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use those IP addresses solely in connection with the Service; and
- on termination of the Service, the Customer must immediately cease using those IP addresses and remove them from the Customer’s software and hardware devices.
- Cytrack’s appointed Carrier offers management of CPE/Links as an option. Where the option is chosen, Cytrack’s appointed Carrier will supply, configure and manage the CPE for the term of the Service. Faulty CPE will be replaced by Cytrack’s appointed Carrier as soon as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of the fault. The Customer will not be provided with credentials to access the configuration of the CPE and must not access or attempt to access the CPE. At the end of the service, the Customer must return the CPE to Cytrack’s appointed Carrier.
- IP-VPN
- IP-VPN is an MPLS private network where Cytrack’s appointed Carrier will manage to layer 3, including IP addressing.
- At each Site, the Customer may select a Quality of Service (QoS) package which will determine the priority of the traffic as it is carried across the network. Available QoS packages are:
- Best Efforts (BE) QoS, where all traffic is prioritised on a best efforts basis;
- Business Data (BD) QoS, where all traffic to the Site is carried with the business data class of service which is a higher priority to BE;
- Simple QoS, where traffic is separately prioritised into 6 separate classes of service and the traffic is delivered based on a Weighted Round Robin queuing method;
- Flexible QoS which enables the Customer to logically divide the bandwidth at a Site and separately allocate to each portion one of the 6 available priority levels.
- The Service Commencement Date for IP-VPN occurs when any two Sites in the same VPN are connected and able to pass traffic. Charging for each Site will commence as each is activated after the Service Commencement Date.
- ISDN/SIP Voice
- ISDN is a version of SIP Voice.
- SIP Voice enables the Customer to make and receive telephone calls to an IP PBX or a SIP gateway device which is connected to the Cytrack’s appointed Carrier network. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is employed to transmit the voice traffic.
- The Order For Service sets out the Customer’s chosen number of SIP voice sessions i.e., the number of concurrent calls. The number of SIP voice sessions is limited by the amount of available bandwidth on the Access at the Site.
- The Customer must not use the Service, or permit the use of the Service, for incoming calls only and/or to make threatening, unwelcome, hoax, or harassing telephone calls.
- As SIP Voice is connected to the Internet, the Customer must take all necessary steps to ensure that the equipment connected to the SIP Voice service is secured from unauthorised access, including by way of firewalls, and that voicemail and other systems are secured by passcodes that are regularly changed. The Customer will be liable to pay for all calls made through the Service, regardless of whether the Customer has authorised the calls or the Customer’s equipment or systems have been used, hacked or accessed without consent.
- Where Cytrack’s appointed Carrier provides ISDN services, Cytrack’s appointed Carrier will also supply, configure and manage the CPE for the term of the Service. Faulty CPE will be replaced by Cytrack’s appointed Carrier as soon as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of the fault. The Customer will not be provided with credentials to access the configuration of the CPE and must not access or attempt to access the CPE. At the end of the service, the Customer must return the CPE to Cytrack’s appointed Carrier.
- Usage Based Charges
- The Usage Based Charges for the Services are based on usage volume for either outbound calls only or a combination of outbound and inbound calls. It will be deemed an Acceptable Use of the Service if Your usage of the Service for outbound calls accounts for at least 40% of Your overall call volume. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not an Acceptable Use of the Service if:
- the Service is used for inbound calls only; or
- the Service comprises outbound and inbound calls, but the volume of inbound calls exceeds 60% of the overall call volume for the Service (measured across the Service connecting to Cytrack’s appointed Carrier in a given state over a given month).
- Inbound calls from Cytrack’s appointed Carrier domestic ‘Inbound’ Services (including Cytrack’s appointed Carrier EasyDial 13, LocalDial 1300 and FreeDial 1800 services and/or Reach 13,1300,1800 Services) terminating on the Service, are excluded from the inbound call Acceptable Use policy.
- Any use of the Service which is not an Acceptable Use according to this clause 1.5(g) shall constitute an Event of Default for the purposes of clause 11.6(a)(i) of the Services Agreement.
- The Usage Based Charges for the Services are based on usage volume for either outbound calls only or a combination of outbound and inbound calls. It will be deemed an Acceptable Use of the Service if Your usage of the Service for outbound calls accounts for at least 40% of Your overall call volume. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not an Acceptable Use of the Service if:
- e-LAN
- Access Types
- MetroEthernet
- MetroEthernet is an access technology using Supplier’s fibre optic cabling in metropolitan areas. Coverage is limited to Supplier service areas. Placing this Order does not guarantee availability.
- MetroEthernet can be supplied:
- with a Network Terminating Unit with Ethernet ports; or
- as a wires only service, in which case the Service will be supplied without any network terminating interface or equipment.
- If the Customer selects in the Order the relevant access type (the Ethernet Multi Service Access), each port on the NTU can be configured separately to acquire different Services from Supplier.
- The service demarcation point for MetroEthernet is:
- the NTU where one is supplied; or
- where the service is “wires only” the ends of the fibre optic strands installed at the Site.
- NBN
- NBN is an access service where Supplier uses the National Broadband Network (NBN) to supply the access.
- The NBN uses a range of technologies. Supplier will use an appropriate technology based on infrastructure available at the Site.
- Supplier does not warrant that it has complete NBN coverage. The order for NBN access may be terminated by Supplier where it does not have relevant coverage.
- The bandwidth nominated in the Order is the maximum connection speed that will be possible using the NBN access. The actual throughput may be less than the nominated bandwidth due to various factors including: network utilisation; the profile applied to the Service; the number of users accessing the NBN network at any one time; the nature and quality of the connection at the Site; the Customer’s hardware or software; and the sources of the traffic being accessed.
- Where not already installed, and, where applicable, NBN Co will install an NBN Network Terminating Device, the title for which remains with NBN Co.
- If a central splitter is installed by NBN Co for a Service, the title and risk for the central splitter will pass to the Customer following installation.
- The NBN access service does not include supply or maintenance of any common Multi-Dwelling Unit site equipment, any in-premises or in-building wiring, or any cabling that may be required or installed between the Customer’s equipment and any internal wall plate within the customer premises.
- 4G Backup / Wireless Access
- 4G Backup / Wireless Access is a service that provides an interim internet connection using either Cytrack’s appointed Carrier 3G or 4G network in Cytrack’s appointed Carrier coverage areas only.
- 4G Backup / Wireless Access service is only available using an Cytrack’s appointed Carrier provided and managed customer premise equipment with an Cytrack’s appointed Carrier SIM activated on Cytrack’s appointed Carrier’s network. The SIM is the property of Cytrack’s appointed Carrier, and it is not to be used in any other device except the assigned Cytrack’s appointed Carrier provided and managed customer premise equipment.
- 4G Backup / Wireless Access service is only available for use when You or Your End User loses its primary fixed internet connection to the Cytrack’s appointed Carrier’s network. This excludes mass outages.
- You or Your End User will be able to use the 4G Backup / Wireless Access service until the fault is resolved or for a period of 30 consecutive days after the date the 4G Backup service is available for use, whichever occurs first.
- Service performance varies depending on network coverage, and Your or Your End User location, with speeds likely to be less than the maximum.
