Managed Business Internet Plans — Small Business Internet with Seamless Failover
Most businesses lose work the moment their internet drops — calls cut out, banking apps lock you out, cloud apps stall, and connections to head office or external servers all reset. Our managed business internet plans are different. NBN Enterprise Ethernet or Business Class NBN gives you a Static IP and a business-grade connection; seamless 4G/5G or Starlink failover takes over within about a second of an outage. Your team keeps doing exactly what they were doing — same VoIP calls, same IP address, same connections — until your primary link is proven stable again. We offer small business internet plans starting at 100/40 Mbps, right through to enterprise-grade symmetric connections for larger teams.
Key Benefits
- Seamless failover within ~1 second — VoIP calls don't drop
- Same public Static IP on primary and failover — banking, VPNs and external servers keep working
- NBN Enterprise Ethernet (EE) or Business Class NBN (TC4) primary
- 4G/5G or Starlink failover, chosen to suit your location — 4G/5G SIM and data included in pricing
- Automated stability tests before we switch back to the primary
- We become your ISP — one call for any internet issue
TL;DR — Business Internet for Gold Coast & Brisbane
Netluma IT provides NBN Enterprise Ethernet (EE) and Business Class NBN (TC4) for businesses across theGold Coast,Brisbane, andTweed Heads— each with a Static IP and seamless 4G/5G or Starlink failover. If your primary connection drops, traffic shifts over in around a second with no IP change and no dropped VoIP calls.

Your Business Keeps Working — Even When the Internet Doesn't
Most "backup internet" setups change your public IP the moment they kick in, which knocks every VoIP call, VPN tunnel and banking session offline. Ours doesn't. Your Static IP stays the same on both the primary and the 4G/5G or Starlink failover path — so your team keeps doing exactly what they were doing before the cutover.
Failover initiates within about one second of the primary connection being lost. Active VoIP calls stay connected, access to external servers and head office stays connected, and banking apps and remote portals don't log you out.
How Seamless Failover Works
Your router constantly tests the primary NBN EE or TC4 link to detect a real outage — not just a packet blip.
Within ~1 second, traffic shifts to the 4G/5G or Starlink path. Your public Static IP is preserved across the switch.
VoIP calls keep talking, VPN tunnels to head office stay up, and banking and external-server sessions don't drop.
We deliberately don't failback on the first sign of life. Automated tests confirm the primary is genuinely stable before we move traffic back.
Seamless Failover vs a Standard 4G/5G Backup
A standard 4G/5G backup will get you online again — eventually, and with everything reset. Our seamless failover keeps the actual work going.
| What happens when the primary drops | Standard 4G/5G backup | Netluma Seamless Failover |
|---|---|---|
| Time to cut over | Minutes — staff usually notice, reach for the modem, or call you | Around 1 second, automatically |
| Public IP address | Changes to the carrier's mobile IP | Same Static IP on primary and failover |
| Active VoIP calls | Drop — phones need to re-register before new calls work | Stay connected through the cutover |
| VPN tunnels & remote access | Disconnect and need to be re-established | Stay up — sessions survive the switch |
| Banking apps & external server logins | Log you out — IP change is treated as a new session | Stay logged in and working |
| SIM and data cost | Extra carrier bill, often with overage charges | 4G/5G SIM and data included in your monthly price |
| Switching back to primary | Manual, or flips back the moment the link blinks on — risking another outage | Only after automated tests confirm primary is stable |
| Who fixes it | You — chase NBN, the retail ISP, and the mobile carrier separately | One call to us — we're your ISP |
What We Provide: Primary Connection + Seamless Failover
Every Netluma IT business internet plan is a pairing: a business-grade NBN primary connection with a Static IP, plus a seamless failover path chosen to suit your location.
Primary connection (choose one)
NBN Business Class (TC4)
Business traffic class on the standard NBN access network, with business support, faster fault resolution and a Static IP included. Our preferred primary for small and medium businesses — the right balance of performance, reliability and price.
Best for: Most small to medium offices, trades, allied health practices, and growing teams
NBN Enterprise Ethernet (EE)
Dedicated business-grade fibre with symmetric speeds, guaranteed bandwidth and enhanced service levels. Static IP included. Best where downtime is expensive and predictable performance matters every hour of the day.
Best for: Businesses with 50+ users, or enterprise-class businesses with multiple locations that need to be interconnected to share resources. Everyone else is generally well served by NBN Business Class (TC4).
Seamless failover (chosen for your location)
4G/5G Failover
Cellular failover for sites with strong mobile coverage. The SIM and data are included in your monthly price — no extra carrier bill when failover kicks in. Used as the failover path on our seamless setup so your Static IP stays the same.
Best for: Urban and suburban offices with good 4G/5G coverage
Starlink Failover
Low-orbit satellite failover for regional, fringe or coverage-poor sites — or anywhere 4G/5G is congested or unreliable. Same seamless behaviour: your Static IP and active sessions stay alive across the cutover.
Best for: Regional businesses, sites with poor cellular coverage, or anywhere needing a non-cellular failover path
Not Sure Which Pairing Suits Your Site?
We'll assess your address for EE and TC4 availability, test 4G/5G coverage on-site, and recommend the pairing that gives you the best reliability for your investment.

How Much Internet Bandwidth Does Your Business Actually Need?
Most businesses either overpay for bandwidth they don't use, or struggle with a connection that can't keep up. Here's a practical guide based on what we see across Gold Coast and Brisbane businesses.
Handles email, web browsing, cloud apps, and device backups running in the background. With more tools moving online, 100/40 is the practical minimum for any business.
Common examples: Solo practices, small trades offices, bookkeepers
Supports regular video calls, cloud file sharing, device backups, and multiple people working online simultaneously. The sweet spot for most small businesses.
Common examples: Allied health clinics, small professional offices, growing trades businesses
Handles heavy cloud application use, large file transfers, multiple simultaneous video conferences, and cloud-based phone systems without congestion.
Common examples: Multi-practitioner clinics, medium offices, businesses with cloud POS or booking systems
Required when your team relies heavily on cloud platforms, runs bandwidth-intensive applications, or operates across multiple floors or buildings on a single connection.
Common examples: Large offices, warehouses with connected systems, multi-floor operations
What Eats Your Bandwidth
Understanding what uses the most bandwidth helps you plan the right connection. These are the biggest consumers we see in business environments:
Video Conferencing
Each Teams or Zoom call uses 2–4 Mbps per person. Five staff on video calls at once can consume 20 Mbps on its own. Poor bandwidth means frozen video, dropped audio, and frustrated clients.
Cloud Applications
Microsoft 365, Xero, clinical software, and booking systems all need a steady connection. When bandwidth is tight, these apps slow down and timeouts disrupt your workflow.
File Syncing & Backup
OneDrive, SharePoint, and cloud backup run in the background. Large file uploads during business hours can slow everything else down if bandwidth isn't managed properly.
Upload speed matters as much as download speed for most businesses. When comparing plans, pay attention to the upload figure — it directly affects video call quality, file sharing, and cloud backup performance.
Managed Internet: More Than Just a Connection
Getting connected is just the beginning. Our managed internet services mean your connectivity is actively monitored and maintained — not just set up and forgotten.
Unlike simply buying a plan and hoping for the best, managed internet gives you a partner who watches performance, handles problems, and makes sure your connection keeps pace with your growing business.
When issues arise, you don't need to diagnose the problem or figure out who to call. We're your ISP — you call us, we handle the rest. Often we've already fixed it before you notice.
Proactive Monitoring
Your internet is watched 24/7, with slowdowns and outages caught before they affect your team's work.
Performance Reporting
Regular reports show you exactly what you're getting — connection speed, uptime, and any issues we've resolved.
One Call, That's It
We're your ISP. Internet playing up? You call us. We diagnose it, fix it, and handle everything behind the scenes — you never need to contact anyone else.
Ongoing Optimisation
Your usage is reviewed regularly, and we recommend changes when your needs grow or better options become available — so you never overpay or underperform.
Managed Business Internet Plans for Australian SMBs
Netluma IT offers managed business internet plans built around what small businesses actually need. Every plan includes a business-grade NBN primary connection, a Static IP, and a seamless failover path.
Small Business Internet Plans
Small businesses with 1–15 staff need a business internet plan that balances reliability with budget. Our small business internet plans start with NBN Business Class (TC4) at 100/40 Mbps or 250/100 Mbps, include a Static IP, and come with seamless 4G/5G failover.
The 4G/5G SIM and data used during an outage are part of the monthly price — no extra charges when it kicks in. You get a connection that works when you need it, and a partner who handles it when it does not.
Enterprise-Grade Business Internet
Businesses with 15–50+ staff, or any business where downtime is expensive, benefit from NBN Enterprise Ethernet (EE). EE provides symmetric speeds, guaranteed bandwidth, and enhanced service levels.
Combined with Starlink or 4G/5G failover and a managed service layer, EE gives enterprise-grade reliability at a fraction of the cost of dedicated fibre. Multi-site businesses get site-to-site VPN or SD-WAN.
What Makes a Managed Plan Different?
A managed business internet plan is not just a connection. It is a business-grade internet service bundled with ongoing monitoring, fault management, and performance optimisation.
Unlike a standard retail plan where you call a call centre when it breaks, a managed plan means your provider watches the connection 24/7, intervenes before problems affect your team, and handles the carrier on your behalf.

Which Business Internet Plan Does Your Team Need?
Speed is only part of the picture. Every Netluma IT business internet plan includes a Static IP, seamless failover, and ongoing management — the size and type determines which NBN product is the right fit.
| Team size | Recommended speed | Connection type | Typical use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–5 staff | 100/40 Mbps | NBN TC4 | Email, cloud storage, video calls, VoIP |
| 5–15 staff | 250/100 Mbps | NBN TC4 | Teams, M365, shared drives, multi-line VoIP |
| 15–30 staff | 500/200 Mbps | NBN TC4 or EE | Heavy cloud usage, on-premise servers, multi-site VPN |
| 30–50+ staff | 1000/400 Mbps+ | NBN EE (symmetric) | Guaranteed SLA, high uptime requirements, large file transfers |
Static IP — why it matters
Every business internet plan we provide includes a Static IP. Without one, your IP address changes every time the connection resets — breaking VPN tunnels, banking portals, remote access, and anything that whitelists your office IP. With a Static IP, those connections stay stable.
Seamless failover — not just a backup
Most "backup internet" options change your IP when they kick in, dropping every active session. Our seamless failover maintains the same public IP on 4G/5G or Starlink, so VoIP calls stay up, VPNs stay connected, and your team keeps working — typically within one second of the primary link failing.
One number for every internet issue
When something goes wrong with a retail ISP, you call a call centre, wait on hold, and explain the problem to someone who has no context about your business. With Netluma IT as your managed business internet provider, you call us — and we own the fault from first call to resolution.
Small Business Internet Plans: What Actually Matters
Most small business internet plans offer faster speeds than residential NBN, but speed alone does not make a plan right for business use. The three things that separate a genuine business internet plan from a faster residential service are a Static IP, a business fault SLA, and seamless failover.
Managed business internet vs a retail plan
A retail ISP sells you a connection and a call-centre number. A managed business internet plan from Netluma IT includes 24/7 monitoring, proactive fault management, carrier liaison, and a partner who already knows your setup when you call. When the primary NBN link drops, seamless failover activates in roughly one second — same Static IP, same VoIP calls, same banking portal sessions — and we switch back only after automated tests confirm the primary is genuinely stable.
Which business internet plan fits your team size?
For 1–5 staff, NBN Business Class at 100/40 Mbps handles video calls, cloud storage, and VoIP simultaneously without competition. For 5–15 staff, 250/100 Mbps gives comfortable headroom for Microsoft 365, shared drives, and a multi-line phone system. Businesses with 15–30 staff typically need 500/200 Mbps; 30-plus staff benefit from NBN Enterprise Ethernet with symmetric guaranteed speeds. Every plan includes a Static IP, seamless 4G/5G failover, and ongoing management — included in the monthly price, no surprises.
Business internet plans for healthcare, trades, and professional services
Healthcare and allied health practices need failover that keeps telehealth sessions alive during an NBN outage, a Static IP for remote access into practice management systems, and QoS that prioritises real-time clinical traffic. Trades businesses combine a managed office plan with 4G/5G mobile broadband for field staff. Professional services firms — accountants, lawyers, financial advisers — need a VPN-ready connection with a Static IP for secure remote access and client portal reliability. We tailor every managed business internet plan to the industry and the address.
Managed Business Internet vs a Standard Business Internet Plan
Speed is only part of what business internet plans need to deliver. Here is what separates a managed business internet service from a faster version of a residential plan.
Managed Business Internet
- ✓24/7 proactive connection monitoring
- ✓Seamless 4G/5G or Starlink failover (~1 sec cutover)
- ✓Same Static IP on primary and failover
- ✓Carrier liaison — we handle faults end-to-end
- ✓One number to call for any internet issue
Retail NBN Business Plan
- ✗Connection only — no monitoring included
- ✗No failover provision (connection drops = downtime)
- ✗Static IP sometimes available as add-on
- ✗Call-centre fault queue — you manage the carrier
- ✗Multiple contacts for internet vs IT issues
Small Business Internet Plans
Our small business internet plans start at 100/40 Mbps on NBN Business Class and scale to 1000/400 Mbps. Every plan includes a Static IP, seamless failover, and full management — no extras to add on.
Business Internet Plans for Healthcare
Allied health and GP practices need failover that keeps telehealth sessions alive, a Static IP for practice management remote access, and QoS that prioritises clinical traffic over background sync.
Business Internet Plans for Trades
Trades and construction businesses combine a managed office internet plan with 4G/5G mobile broadband for field staff — one provider, one invoice, one number to call for any connectivity issue across the whole business.
6 Signs Your Business Internet Isn't Keeping Up
These are the most common complaints we hear from Gold Coast and Brisbane businesses before they switch to a managed internet solution. If any of these sound familiar, your connection may need attention.
Video calls keep freezing or dropping
Teams and Zoom need consistent bandwidth. If calls are choppy, your connection may be congested or your upload speed is too low.
Cloud apps feel sluggish in the afternoon
Peak usage times can overwhelm a connection that seemed fine in the morning. This often indicates you're on the edge of your bandwidth limit.
Files take ages to upload or sync
If OneDrive or SharePoint sync seems to take forever, your upload speed is likely the bottleneck — especially common on asymmetric NBN connections.
WiFi drops out when all staff are in the office
This can be a WiFi issue rather than an internet issue. Too many devices on an under-specified access point causes congestion even when your internet connection is fine.
Phone system audio sounds robotic or delayed
VoIP phone systems need prioritised bandwidth (called QoS). Without it, voice traffic competes with everything else and quality suffers during busy periods.
Your business has grown but your plan hasn't
The 50 Mbps plan that worked for 5 staff won't support 15. Internet needs should be reviewed at least annually, or whenever you add significant staff or services.
Experiencing any of these? A quick assessment can identify whether the problem is your connection, your network, or both.
Internet for Multi-Site Businesses
If your business operates across multiple locations — a main office and a warehouse, two clinic locations, or a head office with satellite sites — each site needs reliable internet, and your sites may need to communicate with each other securely.
We design multi-site connectivity that gives each location the right level of service. Your head office might need enterprise fibre with failover, while a satellite office works perfectly well on business NBN with a 4G backup.
For businesses that need their sites connected — sharing files, accessing centralised systems, or running a single phone system across locations — we implement secure site-to-site VPN or SD-WAN solutions that make multiple offices work as one.
What is SD-WAN?
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a modern approach to connecting multiple business locations. Instead of relying on expensive dedicated lines between offices, SD-WAN uses your existing internet connections and creates a smart, secure overlay network.
The system automatically routes traffic over the best available connection, prioritises business-critical applications like your phone system and clinical software, and provides built-in failover. If one connection at a site goes down, traffic shifts to the backup — often without staff even noticing.
Common Multi-Site Setups
Office + Warehouse
Head office on business NBN or fibre. Warehouse on fixed wireless or 4G/5G. Connected via site-to-site VPN for shared inventory and phone systems.
Multiple Clinic Locations
Each clinic on business NBN with 4G failover. Centralised clinical records accessed securely from any location. Shared phone system across sites.
Head Office + Remote Workers
Main office on fibre with failover. Remote and field staff connected via VPN for secure access to company resources from home or client sites.
Trades: Office + Job Sites
Office on business NBN. Temporary job sites connected via 4G/5G portable routers for access to project management, scheduling, and compliance systems.
Not sure what your sites need? We visit each location, assess the available infrastructure, test existing connections, and design a solution that balances reliability with budget. Most multi-site designs take 2–3 weeks from assessment to go-live.
How Switching Your Business Internet Works
Changing internet providers feels risky — you worry about downtime during the switch, getting locked into the wrong plan, or ending up worse off than before. Here's how we make the transition smooth.
Assessment
We review your current connection, test actual performance, understand your usage patterns, and identify what's working and what isn't.
Recommendation
You receive a clear comparison of options — connection types, speeds, and pricing — with our recommendation based on your needs and budget.
Provisioning
We place the order and schedule installation. For NBN business plans, provisioning typically takes 5–10 business days. Enterprise fibre can take 30–60 days.
Installation & Configuration
Your new connection is installed and configured with proper network settings, Quality of Service (QoS) rules for your phone system, and any failover equipment.
Cutover & Testing
We switch your business to the new connection with minimal disruption, test performance across all your key applications, and verify failover works correctly if applicable.
Ongoing Management
Your connection is monitored 24/7 from that point forward. We're your ISP — any issues come straight to us. We review performance monthly and recommend changes as your business grows.
