We were paying $99.95 a month for a 12GB Liberty plan.. and changed over to a 50GB Turbo Liberty plan.. for the same price!!!!!!!! http://www.telstra.com.au/smartcommunit ... wners.html So if you haven't already.. might be a good idea to change plans so you are getting more for your money..

It is both.. prices have gone down and quota's have increased. disclaimer: My comments are my own and are not necessarily the same as Telstra's. Re: Telstra Smart Wiring Price Change 7Dec 18, 2009 6:39 pm wakeboardandy It is both.. prices have gone down and quota's have increased. Yes, but it has nothing to do with "Smart Wiring", which I suspect is the major issue with the topic title. It should be "BigPond Velocity Quota/Price Changes" if you want to get really specific. Re: Telstra Smart Wiring Price Change 8Dec 18, 2009 10:03 pm fair enough.. but it is good that the prices have gone down.. they are more competitive then internodes fibre plans now.. Re: Telstra Smart Wiring Price Change 9Dec 19, 2009 6:11 am wakeboardandy fair enough.. but it is good that the prices have gone down.. they are more competitive then internodes fibre plans now.. Ya, great news as I'll be moving in to a Velocity Community next year. Perfect timing! Stefan Building the M3tr!con Liberty 42 at Stonecutters Ridge. The New Build Blog - "Life, In Progress."

True, if you don't upload much data. If you do, then your cap on BigPond will be chewed up faster. But I'm hoping for some pricing/quota love from Internode in January. Re: I'm getting more for my money. 11Dec 19, 2009 10:28 am Wow.. touchy forum. I've changed the thread title and my post.. Just trying to let all the Telstra Velocity customers be aware plans have changed so they can change over and get more for their money.. I apologise for my title being misleading??
