Construction needs cloud flexibility

Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

Now TPG offers Terabyte broadband plan

IT Industry - Deals

TPG has become the latest internet service provider to launch a broadband plan featuring a total of a terabyte of monthly quota, following launches by iiNet and Primus this week.

TPG has become the latest internet service provider to launch a broadband plan featuring a total of a terabyte of monthly quota, following launches by iiNet and Primus this week.

TPG's package - announced late yesterday on the forums of broadband information site Whirlpool - will see the company offer a total of 500GB of data for each of its on-peak and off-peak periods for a total of $69.99 a month, starting from 1 September.

However, naked DSL customers will not be able to migrate to the plan unless they also adopt a traditional TPG analogue telephone service. The plan includes the line rental and unlimited local calls, but national calls will be charged on a per minute basis.

'This is only available on homephone bundled with ADSL2+ plans. Sign up with our homephone plans to avail this package,' wrote a TPG representative on Whirlpool. 'Telstra does not allow us to transfer standalone ADSL2+ TPG customers to the new bundle as Telstra have no technology framework to move a customer from LSS to ULL,' wrote another.

The pricing on the plans significantly undercuts that offered by both iiNet and Primus. Primus's 1.1 terabyte plan will start at $99.95 per month, as does iiNet's own terabyte plan.
