No more free national - with 8Mbit this could potentially be pretty expensive for ISP's to provide. HOWEVER - local traffic (ie within Xnet) is still free. Local does _NOT_ include Xnet customer to Xnet customer, so before you go thinking about that Xnet only DC++ hub, don't. Local does = mail, news, recoil, VFX, plus some new stuff in the works.
New plans are as follows -
Base Cost:
256/128 = $26.95
FS/128 = $38.95
FS/FS = $54.95
Pricing is with or without tolls - i.e. you don't get hit up for $10 if you don't want WxC tolls.
Data Charges:
0.015c/MB, yes thats 0.15 of a cent ($1.54 per GB) - Edit: Fixed, big oops on my part. Edit again, I still suck at maths.
How this stacks up:
10GB = $15.36 + Base
20GB = $30.72 + Base
30GB = $46.08 + Base
40GB = $61.44 + Base
Plus you can set your own spending limits right down to the last MB, and after that switch to 64kbit - or you can choose to have no limits and spend as much as suits you.
If you do set a limit and don't use all the data, you only get charged for what you use.
