Does AAPT have unmetered download page?

I know this has been asked before, about a year ago from what I could find....

Was wondering if AAPT have introduced a free / unmetered downloads page yet.

Thanks

Not to my knowledge. They are a primary teclo, that is they focus mainly on phone offers and not net offers. Hopefully this will change in the near future and we may get unmetered content. But 15 gig of metered content is heaps for most.

not for me. I would love for AAPT to mirror some downloads as i go over nearly every month.

The days of 15 gig being adequate for most users are ending. Sure, in the good 'ol days it was Bit torrent users sucking down the bandwith.

But now we have easily accessed and popular bandwith demands such as :

Itunes Movies and TV episodes
ABC Iview
Video Podcasts (easily gained through Itunes)
Mulitplayer gaming
YouTube
Video on Facebook and Myspace

Often now, more than 1 person uses the Internet, so that also adds a big multiplier.

AAPT are going to get more and more customers ringing them midway through billing cycles with "Why is my Internet going at dialup speed'.

my point exactly. My house has 4 computers all using the same internet. However if AAPT hosted unmetered download page or hosted their unmetered games severs i probably wouldn't go over every month
