To give you an idea of what Australia is like:
I have a 160gb plan per month. 80gb is peak (8am-12am) and 80gb is offpeak (12am-8am). This costs AU$80 a month for a 24mbps line (actual is downstream more around 17mbps, and upstream around 6mbps). Uploads count to this data also. If we go over either of our quotas, we get shaped to 64kbps up & down...so they sell the plans as unlimited, because they are - you just get your connection slowed to dialup speed when you go over.
Some of the more nasty telcos will actually charge you for every mb you go over..I remember about 3 years ago a friend of mine got a $3000 bill from Telstra
- A $3,000 bill. lol. I had a $1,500 bill for my cell phone as a teen. My father almost murdered me.shellie
