Two degrees is (effectively) $83 per month, or $93 per month if you don't have an eligible mobile plan ($100/$110 per month, $200 signup credit, 12 month contract)

I get excited when I see things like this, and then I remember I am running 2.4ghz wireless AP's and that I dont really need it.

good timing, was about to switch to 2degrees, wont bother now, assuming they are giving their existing gigabit customers this price..

Reach out to the team and see if they can't adjust this, your billing run may have been right before it launched.

If you sign a 12 month contract with Bigpipe you get 3 months free, so that's effectively 81.25.

Looks like their facebook page came back to life towards the end of August and they just posted something on their blog after a year of silence.

 

Also - they have obviously reviewed the 1GB plan charges.

 

I was wondering if maybe Bigpipe was going to quietly be absorbed into something else.

 

Maybe there is still some life in Bigpipe...
