Planhacker: Unlimited Broadband Deals 2011 
There are dozens of prepaid plans on the market which offer “unlimited” calls in Australia without tying you to a contract, but which offer the best value? Planhacker rounds up every deal currently on offer.
Most Australians only use 6GB of data a month, but if you’re in the group who consume 100GB or more, then an “unlimited” broadband plan can be appealing. Here’s what’s available in the unlimited space on an ADSL2+ connection.
Dodo is one of the handful of companies which offers an unlimited ADSL2+ broadband service, but one of its main issues is that you could only get it bundled with a Dodo home phone service, for which the rates were (and are) fairly uncompetitive. Dodo is now offering the unlimited broadband package on its own with no bundling requirement in selected locations. That makes a cheaper deal, but it’s still not necessarily a good choice.
Mobile plan deals with “unlimited” calls have long been a feature of the postpaid contract market, but they’re now becoming increasingly common for no-contract prepaid deals as well. Which ones actually offer good value?
The comments on yesterday’s Planhacker listing of unlimited broadband deals unearthed so many extra contenders that there was only one thing to do: a major update to incorporate them all. So that’s what I’ve done — there’s now a much longer list of providers, although because of the ludicrous “no torrents” rules that many providers apply, that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a better range of good choices . . . Check out the updated list at the original link. [Planhacker]
“Unlimited” broadband deals are becoming rarer and rarer in Australia, but a number of providers continue to offer no-limits, no-shaping services. Here’s your comprehensive guide to what’s on offer in unlimited broadband deals right now — and which services you should avoid.
“Unlimited” mobile phone caps generally offer free calls to Australian phone numbers, but beyond that the conditions and details vary widely. Planhacker examines the traps associated with the unlimited deals on offer from Australia’s major carriers.
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.
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]
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]
