Telstra updates business ADSL plans

 

Caps excess charges.

Telstra has capped excess usage charges on its fixed broadband plans for business at $400 per month as part of a range of updates announced today.

Excess data charges were halved to 4 cents per MB, Telstra said.

The telco has also introduced two new plans - 15GB for $80 a month and a 200GB plan for $210 a month, a spokesman for the telco said.

Other plans had received more quota in the revamp. For example, the old 20GB plan had been replaced by a 30GB offer for $100 a month.

Only the business unlimited plan remained unchanged in the update.

Telstra also said that business customers would benefit from higher-speed ADSL services where available.

“These new plans give all customers the fastest possible connection while reducing the possibility of bill shock by halving, and capping excess data charges and rewarding customers who also have a fixed service with Telstra Business,” the telco's business executive director Brian Harcourt said.

"Excess data charges were halved to 4 cents per MB, Telstra said."

That's $40 a gigabyte, folks. What the hell were they charging before?

I suppose David Thodey will be telling us next that Telstra sells higher quality excess data, and you must expect to pay a premium for quality.

This is for the business dedicated Telstra Business Broadband service. It is a different network to BigPond. TBB is only available for Business customers and does not share this network with Residential cusotmers like other carriers "Business" services (BigPond is on a different backbone to this and business share with residential if they choose this option).
