My aaNet is $120 for 60 gigs at ~7 mbit down (Depends on the day), and $4/gig over.

So, yeah, they have it .soooo. bad.

Sadly, with the cost of long-haul bandwidth, I think more ISPs are likely to go by-the-gig than to all you can eat plans.

I’m on $69 for 40GB (20/20) and on ADSL2+ (I get about 10-15mb/s) I don’t usualy go over that. I’m happy with it.

For AU$50/mth I get 5GB/5GB @ 1.5Mbps…… and I don’t think Netspace even offer 1.5Mb in Tas any more.

I’m fairly happy with my 80GB (40/40) @ 3mbps (if only I was closer to the exchange…) for $99/m

Nihal,

Mick would be on the same plan as me with TPG and ADSL2+.

I have the same $69.95 plan for 40GB peek and 110GB offpeak. Using 110GB in the 6 hours of offpeak is not easy but I average a total of 80-90GB a month.

geez we got it bad here in oz.

telstra give us 12GB for $80 / month @ 5Mbps

but that includes upload, so don't start torrents and go away for the weekend or you'll come back to a slowed connection.

grrrr!

Damn... if only we had it that good...

I pay $179 a month or so for 100GB, at 18Mb's, and a static IP...

I'm happy with that, but it could definitely be cheaper.
