Primus one-ups iiNet with 1.1 terabyte plans

Just hours after iiNet claimed to make history with Australia's first terabyte broadband plans, rival Primus has launched a new 1.1 terabyte offering - upping iiNet's new deal by 111GB per month.

Just hours after iiNet claimed to make history with Australia's first terabyte broadband plans, rival Primus has launched a new 1.1 terabyte offering - upping iiNet's new deal by 111GB per month.

Last week, iiNet chief executive Michael Malone said his company didn't see Primus as 'particularly relevant, from a competitive point of view', compared with larger rivals such as Telstra, Optus and TPG.

But yesterday Primus chief Ravi Bhatia (pictured, above) claimed leadership in the battle to offer Australian consumers the best plans. 'This is a step change in internet history in Australia,' he said, 'and I'm glad Primus Telecom can lead the way into the new high-speed broadband age.'

The new Primus plan - dubbed the 'QUAD-1'² - comes with 1,111GB of monthly quota, consisting of 511GB that can be used during the peak hours from 10AM to 2AM, and 600GB of off-peak data. It can be bought as a normal DSL plan for $99.95 per month, or as a Naked DSL plan for $119.95 per month. For a limited time, the ISP will waive installation charges on a 24 month plan length.

The plan is available now.
