Unwired bytes more and throttles tighter

Your IT - Home IT

Unwired has revamped its broadband wireless Internet access tariffs, cutting the prices of its top end plans, adding new mid range plans with more included data and reducing the throttled cap-exceeded downstream speed to 32kbps on all plans. The price of its top of the range access via desktop modem 1024/256 with 12GB has been reduced from $119.95 per month to $109.95 per month and the wireless card plan (750/256, 12GB) reduced from $109.95 to $99.95. The price of the card modem has also been reduced from $299 to $249. As a result of the reduced price of this plan the former $89.95 6GB plan has been removed.

A new 256/64, 600MB card plan has been introduced at $34.95 per month and the download limit of the 512/128, $49.95 card plan increase to 600MB. A new 512/128 desktop modem plan with 600MB has been introduced at $49.95 and the 265/64 12GB plan at $64.95 removed.

Previously low speed plans were throttled 32/32kps once the download limit had been exceeded and higher speed plans to 64/32. In future all be throttled to 32/32.

CEO David Spence said: "Our changes ensure that Unwired continues to lead the market in terms of bang for buck." And Unwired presented a comparison with Telstra 1X EV-DO wireless broadband service. Prices for similar speeds were roughly comparable but included data volumes are much lower on Telstra which charges for excess data rather than throttling.
