iiNet have just issued a
press release announcing that they're going to be offering one terabyte broadband plans:
Just two days after announcing its 2010 annual results, including a 27% increase in subscriber services, iiNet’s Chief Executive Officer Michael Malone said the launch of the terabyte plan was a further demonstration of iiNet’s drive to lead innovation in the Australian telecommunications market.
According to Malone, the new one thousand Gigabyte plan was part of a new suite of simplified plans with greatly increased data quotas available to new and existing customers.
If you're a heavy data user, it maybe prove hard to resist the change.
Check out the press release for the full list of plans, but basically the 1TB plans seem to start at around $99/month.

Impressive, considering that if a single person watched streaming tv back to back with no interruptions whatsoever it'd only be possible to get through around 1450 half-hour episodes per month.
Bring on the HD porn though, sweet.

prediction though: TPG will smash this quota within a month

I guess TPG started all of this and led the way, but iiNet returned serve well.
Now to see if Optus and Telstra will offer any increases....
Does anyone thing the iiNet network will s*** itself and become full of leechers? I guess they wouldn't have increased their plans if they didn't have the capacity or if it would degrade their network. They've built up a good reputation these past few years so it'd be a shame to lose it if they can't deliver all the data they promise in the plans...

I got fed up and have now switched to TPG. Surely can't be any worse than iiNet.

big numbers get people in the door and sure they might use 200gb in their first month or two but it's hard to sustain after a while when the torrents run dry
I doubt their network will suffer too badly, they seem to know what they're doing

That still means the plan is offering well over 300GB peak a month, double what I'm getting now with uploads not counted.

The closest quota to that in the iiNet plans is the 400GB plan for $89.95 (unbundled), which is clearly lower value.
Still, nobody else has that much data available (apart from TPG and AAPT's unlimited plans, which while cheap, have very limited availability).
