Good afternoon Phil,

No need to squander your data, Bigpond have unmetered for AARNet mirrors
[1] which host almost all the Ubuntu stuff (and includes repositories for
Ubuntu updates to be unmetered as well). The only catch is you need to be
on a data plan (e.g. XGB per month) rather than pay as you go.

I used this on Bigpond wireless broadband a couple years ago and it was
still unmetered even on wireless. Double check that it still works with a
smaller file.
