ALL PLANS ARE AVAILABLE $5/MONTH CHEAPER BY BUNDLING YOUR HOME PHONE

aaNet plans provide a single quota that can be used anytime, day or night. During the off-peak period between 1am and 9am your quota usage is 'discounted'

During the off-peak period, aaNet will only count 33% of whatever you download, meaning a 12GB download during the off-peak period will only show up as 4GB of your quota used.

Data is billed only one way, either up or down which ever is the greater.
