 I must say though - I have used about 180gb of Google/Youtube this month which means we are using far less data, of which other ISP's don't offer. 

Which awesome Google service am I missing out on?? 

I surf Youtube daily, and upload the odd video, but seldom use more than 10GB a month.

$5 for all you can eat Google and YouTube (login to snap and look at your summury page and it has 'All You Can Eat' addons that you can click and add)

Yeah I have it. More curious how someone manages to use 180GB of it a month.

jasonbrice: I just spoke to one of the guys there. As it stands, I am on a promotional plan, but if I switch over to one of the At Home plans or Naked, I can get those extra data packs.

kyhwana2: Hmm, these new SNAP prices aren't on the signup page? They're still the old prices?

Because hot damn, if I can get those prices with naked DSL (or maybe VDSL2, hmmmm) XNet is goneburgers!

There’s no need to go to your ISP cap in hand to have the throttle lifted, not if your provider is snap!

Recognising that Internet speeds are increasing and people do more with their data connections, snap! has more than quadrupled the data in each of the “at Home” plan add-ons. The new add-ons are available from today, April 18 and existing customers do not have to do anything to take advantage of them. Customers on applicable plans will be automatically upgraded to the new amounts as their next monthly data cycle commences.

This move allows people to pick a plan with a suitable monthly data allocation for a fixed cost. Should you go over that allocation, no fear: snap! makes it easy and affordable to top up with any amount of additional data.

Price	New Add-on Data Pack	Old Add-on Data Pack
$10	20Gb	5Gb
$15	60Gb	10Gb
$25	145Gb	25Gb
$40	250Gb	50Gb
$70	550Gb	100Gb

While the base plans for “Broadband and Calling at Home” and “Naked Broadband at Home” remain unchanged, they come with snap’s award winning customer service.

The plans also have advanced features such as IPv6 addressing for all users, no transparent caching or traffic shaping and provide plenty of options to massively expand data caps.
