AAPT MEETS THE FOXTEL BROADBAND CHALLENGE: “OUR UNLIMITED 8-8 BROADBAND PLAN GOES ALL NIGHT LONG”

Sydney September 30 – AAPT has responded to Foxtel chief Kim Williams’ calls for telcos to reduce their download limits, reminding him its Unlimited broadband products already position the telco ahead of the game.

Three weeks ago, AAPT announced an Australian first, offering Unlimited downloads for 12 hours from 8pm–8am - just what Mr Williams ordered.

Mr Williams issued a “challenge” to the telco industry yesterday for unlimited downloads as he launched Foxtel’s new service allowing subscribers to download movies to their computer through the Foxtel website.

“AAPT has already answered Mr Williams call with Unlimited 8-8,” said AAPT CEO Paul Broad.

“We welcome the increasing range of legal content available to Australian consumers and AAPT’s Unlimited 8-8 plans are perfect to take advantage of Foxtel’s new service.

“AAPT is the only telco currently offering a truly unmetered download service – there is no other telco in the market that has released unmetered plans offering this sort of value.

“Our Unlimited products give families and young people more time to download movies, music and television shows without worrying about reaching their download limit,” said Mr Broad.

Perfect for families who find their broadband service slowed because they’ve exceeded their monthly cap or, worse still, have found themselves paying for additional usage, AAPT’s unlimited 8-8 Plan is available bundled with a home phone service for just $89.95 per month*.

Other features include 5GB of downloads per month in peak periods, superfast ADSL2+ broadband with speeds up to 20Mbps and $50 worth of voice calls including rental.

The new AAPT Unlimited product range is an evolution of the company’s first unlimited offer released to the market in May.

“We asked our customers what they wanted and we’ve responded with affordable, value-for-money plans allowing families to enjoy the best superfast broadband experience without breaking the budget,” he added.
