Value for Money !
SouthernX Genius Plans provide you with high quality, fast Internet access, service and bandwidth at competitive hourly rates. As an ISP, SouthernX provides speed and quality which is second to none, Southern Cross is powered by Connect.com, Australia’s most reliable and arguably best network, rated faster than Ozemail, BigPond and 30 of Australia’s leading networks by Internet.au magazine (March 1998). Yes, you will be trading up when you move to Southern Cross Connect as your ISP as well as getting access to our growing databases.
Southern Cross Genius Plans
SouthernX Genius Plans dramatically reduce the cost of access for regular users without imposing limits on when the time can be used. These plans generally represent the best value for money for most historians and genealogists. All Genius Plans include an email address, free browser, free news service and free and unlimited access to the Southern Cross Library. The Genius Plans provide large amounts of on-line time at highly competitive rates, without compromising the speed of access or other services provided. Please note, that we do not offer permanent connections like other ISPs, as clearly this is outside the needs of most historians and amateur genealogists, and in any case cannot be offered at these rates with the quality of access and service that we demand.

- Plan fees are charged at the start of each month.
- Any additional hours will be charged at the start of the following month in one minute increments.
- When all else fails, invest your money on quality.
- You will never be “thrown off”.
- You will be connected at the highest speed your modem and line can optimise.
- Minimum monthly fee for Casual Rate Customers is $10.00.
Note, there is a minimum fee of $10.00 per month for Drop-In Casuals. The Genius Plans impose no limit on megabytes downloaded, however we require that all subscribers behave responsibly. In addition, so that you can be aware of any misuse of your system by another party, we will alert you if the download patterns appear to be extreme. For your information, we have only had to do this once in the last 12 months, and this action revealed that a family member of one customer was downloading some interesting movies every night, without permission.
“How much time have I been connected for ?”
If you’d like to know the answer to this question, then go to …
My Time Usage Check
Set Up Costs – New Subscriber Accounts
There is no specific set up fee or charge to get connected. The first payment for the first month or part thereof, will cover the first month’s usage inclusive of the cost of set up. Following month’s payments will be based on calendar months. So if a subscriber joins on 22 July, then the first month’s payment according to the plan chosen, will cover the first month inclusive of the set-up costs. The following month’s payment will be made in advance.
Points of Presence (POPs)
NOTE: We have a series of Extended Local Call numbers (these numbers are shown with an asterisk (*). Extended Local Call numbers allow some areas close to metropolitan Melbourne and Sydney to connect for the price of a local call. This gives coverage to most locations listed under the Extended Local Call numbers.
There is no guarantee that all telecommunications providers will charge local call costs to all residents within a particular area. Even if your area is listed below, you should contact your long distance telecommunications provider to check if you will be charged local or STD call costs for the number you select.
