Unlimited internet? In Australia? BLASPHEMY

[Cermage]

AAPT released their unlimited adsl2+ bundles a couple days ago, whether it really is unlimited is to be seen. but hopefully they stick to it long enough to encourage other ISP's to follow. my family is seriously contemplating getting this, even with its fairly steep $100/mo pricetag.

Here's me thinking everywhere gets unlimited internet.

Monthly cost for a 24 month plan for ADSL2+ service, Anytime Value home phone and Music Pack. Total minimum cost over 24 months is $2,398.80. Excludes call costs. Available in AAPT ADSL2+ coverage areas, not available in NT & TAS. Set up and other charges may apply. For residential use only.

All those charges on top
With Optus 2 in 1 you get 30gb downloads speed put down to 256kb after its reached.
Unlimited mobile phone calls unlimited local and national calls.
Most of our calls at home are made to mobiles so with AAPT our phone bill would be around $300 or more per month where as with Optus it costs me $129 per month the lot

In other words, holy macNuggets

This is gona be really expensive, heck, since this is australia we are talking about, blah, i expect that they will have a bunch of lunch break/tea time/other retarded cost.

Probably in the beginning, 1k will be added to your bill for no reason, and every month, they will billed u for maintenance and other crap.

thing is not everyone is happy with 30gb/mo. heck i know people who are getting throttled monthly on aapt's 8-8 unlimited plan (they always seem to be buying new tb harddrives everytime i see them). i'm struggling to not get throttled half way through the month on my 80gb between 2 power users.

Me and my brother are struggling not to go past 20gb

 

[nitrostemp]

you know how bad optus is right? uploads as downloads, no freezone data and not to forget over charging for their plans

 

[DaRk_ViVi]

WTF are those prices? °_°
100$ per month for ADSL2? °_°

And I thought Italy was still behind the rest of the world... >.<

Here we pay 20-30€ monthly for a standard ADSL2 (12Mbit)...

 

[Edgedancer]

I reckon TPG is the best in terms of bandwidth. I get 120GB for $49.95 a month which is more than necessary but nice anyway.

And I would like to add that with those 30€ monthly we get UNLIMITED bandwidth

The tide seems to be turning in Australia.

Also 20 gigs.... I think I blew through that since midnight and nothing has come out in the last week or so.

 

[nitrostemp]

i can chew 20 gigs in a day

 

[agentgamma]

i can chew 20 gigs in a day

I could chew through 20 gigs in a day if my internet wasn't so damn slow

We have an awful TPG DSL plan. 35gb Peak, 45gb Offpeak. Offpeak is 4am-9am

The download speed is 160kb/s

I want to get this plan badly for my completely illegal downloading.

One would think you guys would have fair internets service by now, caps and throttling aren't right if you're being milked for an assload of cash :\
