Some of the bigger ISPs in Australia including Telstra BigPond (the most customers) and AOL ADSL Broadband are now meauring their plans in megabytes rather than hours. For example, instead of, say, offering 150 hours p/m for, say, $AU 25, they are ofering, say, 300 MB.
I suspect this is a deliberate ploy to allow customers to exceed the limit of their plan and be charged at a higher rate for the additional MB (Hours).
Can anyone tell my what, say 300 MB is equivalent to in terms of hours?Of course the MB will depend very highly on the amount of graphics which are being viewed, so there would be no simple ratio.
But in my personal case for example, I read newspapers online, reply to emails online, maintain my websites and do searches.
So, taking this as an example, how many hours access would I need to use up 300 MB?
