How Spiro Zavos got his net flying with BigPond® ADSL2+ Broadband
Spiro Zavos
When you’re The Roar’s resident rugby columnist, time is of the essence. There are theories to expose, coaches to critique, and players to analyse.
Spiro Zavos needs to be well connected. Not just in his work (it helps to have sources in high places), but also in his communication with the outside world: through the internet. And it has to be quick.
So when the call went out to get the largest ADSL2+ network in the country set up at number one Rugby Street, BigPond ADSL2+ Broadband came to the fore.
What is ADSL2+?
It’s a high-speed broadband internet service. And, as it has done with Spiro Zavos, it’ll make your life a whole lot easier.
BigPond offers Australia’s biggest ADSL2+ network, with speeds of up to 20Mbps* (around 350 times faster than a dial-up connection), so Spiro can access the internet quickly, which is important when Stephen Jones is rushing for the same story.
Using ADSL2+, Spiro can also multitask. So while he’s getting stuck into the Wallaby tight five via the internet, he’s also getting the inside word down the phone about the Wallaby backline from someone deep within the ARU (no names), streaming the latest Roar Rugby Review video and uploading photos to the site.
How does it work?
Simple. ADSL2+ broadband gives you blistering connection speeds.
With BigPond ADSL2+ set up in his home, Spiro can now watch rugby clips, download movies and also take a studious look at a range of other Aussie pastimes through BigPond Sports, including AFL, NRL, and V8 Supercars. That’s right. V8 Supercars. Who said he wasn’t a rev head at heart?

Nb: this is a promotion run with The Roar sponsors, BigPond ASDL2+. Spiro Zavos’ home is equipped with ASDL2+ gear and BigPond have paid for this endorsement of their product. But his Internet speed is significantly faster. And he’s not in competition with Stephen Jones. Even if some may beg to differ.
