It was only back in November that Internode revamped its existing Easy plans. Now the popular ISP has dumped virtually every other option, stripping its existing set of 78 plans down to just four main services, with extra option packs available. Here’s what’s on offer.
The concept of an “unlimited” deal has been back in the news recently, with the ACCC continuing its crackdown on providers using the term without clarification. If you can negotiate those pitfalls, an unlimited plan makes sense, and means you won’t face shaping or high excess fees. We’ve rounded up all the unlimited broadband deals for Australian Internet users.
Back in August, Internode reduced prices on some of its broadband services offered across the Optus network. Now it has made some similar reductions to its Fast plans, which utilise the Telstra network.
TPG has dropped the price on its unlimited broadband plan from $75 to $59.95, which a quick glance at our Planhacker Unlimited broadband guide suggests makes it a very competitive deal. It’s not available nation-wide, but if you can get it and use a lot of data it’s definitely worth adding to your shortlist. [TPG via OzBargain]
Adam has joined the growing group of providers offering a one terabyte a month deal for volume-heavy customers. At $120 a month and with usage split into peak and off-peak periods, how does it stack up?
iiNet’s acquisition of AAPT’s consumer ISP business has resulted in its first product casualty: the withdrawal of the unlimited download plans it launched back in February. That’s one less option for unlimited downloads, which confirms as ever our general position that most ISPs just don’t want to go there. [Whirlpool via iTnews]
If you don’t fancy excess usage charges, shaping remains the most palatable alternative. BigPond customers on Telstra’s more expensive plans will now find the experience a little less painful, with shaping speeds increasing fourfold from 64Kbps to 256Kbps.
If you’re a heavy Internet user, paying a fortune for a high download limit isn’t appealing, and neither is having your connection shaped. What you need is a plan with no download caps. We’ve rounded up all the unlimited broadband deals for Australian Internet users.
