Announcing the new range of plans, BigPond Group Managing Director, Mr Justin Milne, said "The new BigPond Wireless Broadband plans reflect the exceptional value we offer customers who are looking for a reliable wireless broadband service," Mr Milne said.

"New customers with multiple Telstra services can receive a discount of 12 months half price off their wireless broadband access. When you consider our superior speed and coverage with our wireless broadband plus all the benefits BigPond provides such as access to unmetered entertainment like news, music, movies, sport and games, the choice is simple and it's why customers are connecting with BigPond.

"We have also removed the different speed plans which may have confused some customers, so all of our wireless broadband plans are now available with the fastest network speeds available," Mr Milne added.

BigPond has removed the separate pricing plans for mobile cards and modem customers. The additional usage charge has been simplified to $0.25 per MB across all plans. The new plans are available from Sunday, 24 August.

BigPond has a choice of wireless broadband devices which include either a 7.2Mbps express card or USB mobile card or the new BigPond 7.2 Home Network Gateway modem with built-in WiFi.

Existing BigPond Wireless Broadband customers can change to the new pricing at bigpond.com by visiting the My BigPond section.

However if you check out this article from ZDnet it still shows how much more expensive Telstra's superior speed connections are.

The only reason Telstra can "slash" prices is that they are so high to start with
Reading the Telstra press release "fluff" makes me laugh eg "the exceptional value we offer customers"
