[plug] ArachNet sale to AmCom...

[Shannon Carver]

Agreed, 

I'm an iiNet 12/1 user, and this is the same reason for iinet's removal
of free waix.  IiNet could allow for a waix amount as well though, that
would be nice, AmCom have definitely got it right there.

Why? If you saturate their pipe sucking down 8mb all the time they have
to buy a bigger one.
