Linux: Using the word unlimited means it's unlimited you can't hide behind a fair use policy

Linux

Their were rumours of a groundbreaking plan from 2d a few weeks back. I guess this is it. 

Obviously this plan does not suit someone like me, unless the cost was around $50.... for which you can get more than enough data to last a month anyway. 

But, good on them. As for banning tethering -- i don't see what is wrong for tethering to your laptop when you are out and about, and that would in fact be the main purpose I could have liked this plan. I have noticed that my laptop uses a huge amount of data when tethering these days, websites are just so information rich compared to even 2 years back. 

Good for 2D, now just need better coverage and speed.

Considering both VF and Spark offer almost 200GB home wireless plans over 4G, I would imagine Spark and VF 'unlimited' style plans with a soft cap of 60GB would be coming in the near future.

What plan are you on for ~$50/ month

 Apart from watching netflix on the bus, I can't see any use whatsoever for an "unlimited data" mobile account if you are somehow barred from ever tethering? What use is it? I don't understand.

I would be surprised if it's higher than 30GB, you don't want to give your broadband custoemrs a reason to drop that service.

Just received:

 

 ... 2degrees Max is not eligible for Shared Data. ... 

 So sad. I'd be willing to pay the $150 if shared data was available. 

Not being allowed to use tethering etc, and restricting devices to only 'phones' . (i.e. no ipads, dongles, or fixed wireless modems) makes it almost totally useless.

It almost had me jumping over but the no data sharing etc got me, I don't really share or tether that much but I want to if I need too.

Looking over my account at the moment and I don't even use over 3gigs a month and that is streaming music at the gym and in the car with spotify.

I just can't give up all the free stuff with spark for this.

Skinny, $46, 2.5gb rollover data.... I'm at around 8gb data now as i don't use it all up each month .... just daily use includig web browsing, emails , calendar , google maps, and the odd game.   Sooo, unlimited wouldn't really interest me.

No.

cokeman2: I just signed up for spark 4G wireless broadband plan for $155 for 240gb.... :(.

You would not be able to use the 2degrees unlimited anyway, its for "phones" not wireless broadband.
