If you’re an iiNet Home Broadband 2 or Naked customer, you may have received a nice little pre-tax bonus from your ISP in the shape of some extra quota. Huzzah for more data!
iiNet unleashed its covert plan upgrade earlier this week without actually making any public announcement. Not all plans get the upgrade, but those that do get extra data for the same price, and the extra data is available for both current customers and new sales on those plans.
If you aren’t sure whether or not you received an upgrade, here are a couple of handy tables that outline which plans got the boost:
Basic business broadband plans have also received a slight boost, but it’s the consumer plans we’re really happy about. And maybe it’s just me, but I also like the fact that they just boosted the quota without actually telling anyone as well – a nice rewarding feeling for iiNet customers all around…

I was Naked on 30GB now on the 50GB. Just in time, E3 was pushing me to my limit

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 10:44 AMWell, I’m on what must be old home 3 a/c, haven’t gotten an increased quote (still 10+25), and we still have the issue of ‘peak’ now being defined as any time outside of 2am-8am, ie. ¾ of every day.
Its a forward step, but it follows a couple of backwards ones.

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 10:45 AMThat looks very small to me. On their website, it has the home 4 plan listed as 60Gb off and 60 Gb on peak (which I’m on at home).

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 11:07 AMI’m with Amnet and I received a huge surprise last night; my plan went from 12GBper month (5on/7off) to 45Gb per month (15on/30off).
The plan I used to be on had 30Gb per month and now has 110Gb!

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 11:11 AMprincereynart, I was in the same situation, on the old Home 3 10GB/25GB plan. You need to manually sign up to the new quota plan in toolbox. It won’t cost anything to switch.

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 11:15 AMI just had my quota doubled. 10/10 to 20/20
No complaints here. Never really go near my limit anyway as most of my traffic is Xbox Live or App Store apps, both of which are Freezone.
iiNet may not have the cheapest plans, but their service and freezone content are great.

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 11:29 AMI’m confused. I’m on the Home4 plan and get 60/60 for a total of 120GB. Even on the iiNet website it has this: http://www.iinet.net.au/broadband/plans.html
So, where the heck are you getting these tables from? The year 1998?

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 3:21 PMYeah … Nick … this data is not right. I’m also on Home 4 with bundled phone and I get 60/60!
Something has gone wrong with your tables!

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 3:48 PMMy tables came direct from iiNet, dated this month. Will look into the discrepancy…

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 11:32 AMI love iiNet! was going to go TPG but they didnt have any ADSL 2 nodes.
just got the bump from 30GB to 50GB for frees!
and i was thinking of upping my plan anyways!
Rick
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 11:55 AMIMO you’re lucky you didn’t Steve, I switched to iiNet from TPG, best thing I ever did, so much more stable. If I was only disconnected 3 times a day on TPG I was doing well

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 1:00 PMThis wasnt a supprise, naked iinet users have been waiting for this upgrade for the last few months. It’s been a long time coming…

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 2:17 PMI’ve been waiting a while for this. I’m on Naked4 so the increase is welcome. The last round of upgrades only effected the standard ADSL2+ plans.
Armand
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 2:56 PMI’ve been an iiNet customer for nearly 4 years now, and my quota has been upgraded several times already now, getting a massive 140gb of data (70+70) on a home 5 plan (with a phone) twice of what’s up there.. It’s nice to be rewarded as a loyal customer..

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 3:13 PMI can only get ADSL, which is more expensive, and missed out on the upgrade
I wish iinet would hurry up and install ADSL 2 in my local exchange
Blah
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 4:46 PMEh, Node has better plans + upgrades. I pay 99 and get 120 on Node, without any of the peak/offpeak crap.
Ben
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 9:33 PMWhen I signed up for iiNet earlier this year I had 25/45 and now i have 70/70, double the initial quota for no extra price!
