$80 per month with 12 gigabytes (not including line rental) is pretty expensive; http://my.bigpond.com/internetplans/bro ... efault.jsp
if that was the price they offered me it would have been too expensive, but because i have foxtel etc, on a 60gig limit for the first 9 months its only $44 and $109 for the remaining 16 months.
Im happy with exetel for the time being, but just thought id check. What would be good though, if there was a higher download limit plan as this month ive done way over my limit

As of 1 November, Exetel plans go up to:
* 36Gb peak + 48Gb off peak = 84Gb for Powertel ($95 per month)
* 48Gb peak + 48Gb off peak = 96Gb for Optus with phone ($90 per month + $30 per month for phone)
This Optus price is almost exactly the same cost over 24 months as Telstra's and has a higher limit. For 60Gb per month (the 12Gb peak + 48Gb off-peak plans) cost comparisons are:
* Telstra = 9 months @ $44 + 16 months @ $109 = $2,140
* Exetel (Powertel) = 24 months @ $55 per month = $1,320
* Exetel (Optus) = 24 months @ @40 per month = $960
* 36Gb peak + 48Gb off peak = 84Gb for Powertel ($95 per month)
* 48Gb peak + 48Gb off peak = 96Gb for Optus with phone ($90 per month + $30 per month for phone)

From this post and from my understanding, yes. All existing and current plans with a 40Gb allowance for off-peak increase to 48Gb off-peak as of 1st November.metino wrote:Im currently on plan RX 5T so does that mean from the 1st of november the total download limit will be inreased to 96gb (peak and off peak combined) ?
