New Xtra Broadband Plans

After Telecom announced its wholesale plan for new broadband services, Xtra has released its new retail broadband plans which will be available from 26 October 2006.

There are two highlights in the new Xtra plans. One is the maximum download speed for all plans. Second is the new “Go Large” plan which offers an unlimited amount of data. Yes – you read it here - you can use as much as you want! 100GB per month? No problem! And with no more extra charges or slowing down of speed. The only thing is, it is subject to a ‘fair use policy’ which means that access to some programmes, such as peer-to-peer networking, will be limited. The “Go Large” plan will only cost $49.95 per month.

All old Xtra users will be moved to the new plans progressively from 26 October. Let’s have a look of your new plan, if you’re an existing Xtra customer.
