Try $1.50GB, and thats for the excess over 85GB and 110GB depending on the plan.

Make sure you check what is counted. You can get 12Gb peak + 56Gb off
peak downloads only for a bit less on Exetel and possible a bit more $
for 35GB(?) + 56/60GB.

That's true, but they have now reversed a previous trend! That is 100Gb (no
VoIP) for $49.99 or 80Gb (with VoIP) same price & same throttling on both!
The VoIP does have 50 calls or 500 minutes free, so it kind of makes sence
in retrospect! They previously gave 5GB more for VoIP & throttled at 128Kb
for VoIP & 64Kb for non VoIP for the same cost..
