Good beat up Mozz and good beat on the title by SMH desperate stuff by all concerned to make this look a lot worst than it really is.
From the article.
"However, Teresa Corbin, chief executive of the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN), said the prices released by Internode were comparable to today's prices. But people who want higher speeds would have to pay more to get them.
"At first glance for customers who want to have a similar speed and download allowance as they do now ? living in a metropolitan area, for example with 12 Mbps ? the price for these bundles are comparable to what's available today," she said.
"If you are living in a regional area you will get higher speeds for your money that what would be currently available. The phone line bundled in is going to make it much cheaper for some people."
Internode's general manager of regulatory and corporate affairs, John Lindsay, said the average broadband user currently downloads less than 20 gigbytes per month.
''Thirty gigbytes is significantly more than the 18 gigabytes that the average Internode customer uses a month and is well suited to households with one or two computers and perhaps smartphones or tablet type devices. The rungs above that are more suited to people that have multiple computers or teenagers with computers.''
He said 30 gigabytes is enough to download a couple of movies a week along with music and general surfing."
By the way I pay $70 a month for my phone and internet on ADSL2 with 30GB , this would be cheaper and over 6 times faster for me. Being fibre there would be no slow down as more user jump on. Can't wait to get it.
