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.

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...
