Actually its 1Gb international with national traffic consuming 1/10th of
the international traffic. ie. a 1/10gb triangle.

You used to be able to upgrade that to 2gb for some small amount as
well.

Personally I think its fair enough. A 2Mb flat channel is going to be
near 560-600/month (see Tempest from Clear), I can't see a home user
justifying that cost compared to a std Saturn 2Gb price of around $100.

Telcos are probably buy 64kb flat rate channels from SC for around
340-400/month, ISPs more. On a 20:1 ratio you do the sums.
