iPrimus super-sizes ADSL2+ plans

iPrimus today unveiled a new ADSL2+ offering that the company claims includes the largest data amount ever offered by an Australian broadband provider to residential customers.

Dubbed the Big Kahuna, the plan offers 200 GB of data for $79.95 per month. However, the 200 GB data capacity does not come as a flat quota.

During peak hours (12pm to 12am) customers will be limited to 40 GB of data capacity while off peak hours (12am to 12pm) will see the remainder 160 GB in use.

Once customers exceed the allocated data quota, download speeds will be shaped to 64 kbps.

Primus CEO Ravi Bhatia said the new plan was designed for families and individuals that regularly consume large amounts of data through heavy Internet use.

“Introduction of Big Kahuna is yet another milestone achievement for iPrimus and demonstrates our resolve to maintain our leadership position through innovation, customer responsiveness and high quality of service,” Bhatia said.

“With Big Kahuna, we have continued the tradition of offering our customers best value for money coupled with the highest quality of service.”

The Big Kahuna is available now to customers within Primus’s network range.

12am - 12pm is not the peak period for this plan. The 160Gb can be used between 3am and 9am, the remaining 40Gb to be used between 9am and 3am.

Pity for those that can't get ADSL2+! I've been an iPrimus customer for 7 years(2 year ADSL contract runs out in July) and have a small family business that struggles to use 1 gig a month and I have to pay $35 a month for 500 meg!!! And then a "top-up" of $6 when I go over my 500 meg limit! Hopefully ADSL prices will be dropped accordingly now. Yes I know I can change ISP's BUT then what do I do with all my iPrimus labelled business cards,docket books etc....
