Internode have
just announced they're joining iiNet in offering one terabyte of downloads in their latest round of plans - though they're throwing down the gauntlet by calling it the "first true terabyte broadband plan", by virtue of the fact that it is not separated into peak and off-peak:
Taking a lead from the over-size T-shirt shelf, Internode's 1000 gigabyte (GB) XXL Easy Broadband ADSL2+ service drapes its customers in a true one-terabyte data quota plan, costing $149.95 a month when bundled with NodeLine telephone service.
In a generous overhaul, Internode has doubled the data quota of its popular Easy Broadband plan ($49.95 bundled) from 50 GB to 100 GB per month and introduced 200GB ($69.95 bundled) and 300GB ($89.95 bundled) plans - dubbed respectively S, M and L. For customers with big data appetites, Internode provides the 600GB XL plan for $99.95 (bundled) as well as the true-terabyte XXL plan.
Check out the
full announcement for more details about the latest plan changes.

I'm lucky to get 250k/s. If I was renting I'd move, but I'm now anchored down by a mortgage.

If you're truely stuck on a tel$tra port (ie, there are no optus ports etc) then you won't get these prices. You will get 50GB for $50.

Dear ####,
Thanks to some recent network upgrades, you could now get even more speed out of your BigPond Elite Cable Broadband plan. The network can now provide speeds up to a maximum of 30 Mbps* (depending on the content you are downloading) – almost double the old 17Mbps maximum.
Getting the speed upgrade is easy. Simply switch off your modem, wait a minute or so, then switch it on again. When it reboots it will automatically access the faster network speeds.
There are just a couple of things to be aware of:
• If you have a Wi-Fi modem, you’ll get the optimum performance when connecting with an Ethernet cable (a yellow cable was supplied with your modem) rather than the Wi-Fi connection.
• Not all Cable modems are compatible with 30Mbps speeds. To check a list of compatible modems, please click here.
If you’d like to know more about this speed increase, visit BigPond.com.
Yours sincerely
Peter Jamieson
Executive Director
Customer Service and Sales
I'm quite happy about this.

That's funny, because here I was getting a warm fuzzy about market competition driving prices down.

And if you use Usenet, there's (apparently) no logging done at all on the Usenet servers. See item #9, http://www.news.astraweb.com/privacy.html .

Been with them for over 4 years now and love it. My only gripe was how long it took to get the naked line installed (6 weeks!) and that the naked plans take a while to get updated (not a main plan)

I'm on the Easy Naked plan ($59.95 for 70gig ups+downs) does anyone know if i'm getting any love? I'm on optus lines :(
Posted 04:04pm 06/9/10
Telstra have told him they can fix the lines but won't unless he lodges all sorts of claims with His potential ISP. The techy who looked at the lines said its an easy fix but he can't do it as he isn't a bigpond user.

I never got that email and, if anything, my internet has been a s***load slower than usual the past few days. Usually when I'm capped I can load QGL just as if I wasn't capped but at the moment I'm uncapped and still even QGL times out sometimes. What the hell are you doing telstra? Your internet is already s***, stop making it s******.
Posted 06:56pm 06/9/10
This internode blog post suggests that you will get some love.

im on ADSL 1, 400 gig a month with iinet.. not a bad deal.. top speed about 800k/sec
Posted 10:54am 07/9/10
They were doing adsl2 on Telstra ports for a while with easy bb which was great, they have ceased new installations until the outcome of the group ACCC action is known after Bigponds last round of plans made it impossible to supply an ADSL2 port on Telstra Wholesale at the same price as Bigpond was selling it for retail.
