Sorry about that.

The team have been playing around with a few things and testing app behaviour; and accidentally released it into production.

I work for Skinny, but I don't post in my capacity as a Skinny representative. Any comments made are personal opinion and do not reflect on the position my employer may have.

So it will be a plan????, considering Sparks unlimited plan is the same price will Skinny allow tethering for free?

I noticed that in the new iOS update notes for the skinny app they said “updated plan details”

Yep, I had a look, and terms and conditions on web page.

$77 unlimited, slow down after 40 GB. Hot spotting and tethering allowed.

Data binge, gifting and roll over not available on plan.

Cloud spending continues to surge globally, but most organisations haven’t made the changes necessary to maximise the value and cost-efficiency benefits of their cloud investments. Download the whitepaper From Overspend to Advantage now.

Nice new plan :)

Quick question I note there is no slowdown speed stated on the website once the 40gb has been hit that I can see.

Is it based around prioritization based on the cell site load or a specific speed like voda/2degrees?

Slow down is to 1Mbp/s not sure about uplink speed

Slightly more so real world is about 1mbit.unlike vf :)

It's exactly the same network config as spark unlimited.
