Am currently with Xtra/Telecom on a 2Mb unlimited plan but exceed my quota within a week usually & spend the remaining 3 weeks on dial-up rates. Infogen just mailed me their new plans with my Genesis elec bill & although they are max 256k download they never reduce traffic speed. Or so they claim. As I'm currently spending 80% of my access at 56k rates anyway, it would seem to be sensible to swap. But before I tell Xtra where to stick their 'unlimited' access, just wanted to test the water. Does anyone have experience with their Fastlane 3 or 6 plans? Do they really never drop their access rate? Sounds to good to be true... Unlimited broadband access that really is? In NZ? Never! :rolleyes:	alexps (8215)

But lets not get started on that again. I like the use of the word throttling which, quite literally, does mean choking the life out of. To return to topic, I presume the fact they're owned by Orcon is a *bad* thing? Do we not like them? And if not, can I ask why? (sorry, I'm kind of new here)... I've just had a look at the Orcon site & realised that they're actually 23 bucks a month cheaper than Infogen! And that's with my 'special' Genesis customer discount. So I guess Infogen aren't so good after all...	alexps (8215)

If you like Orcon then its good. If you don't then its bad I guess. Just information that they look after it all now.	pctek (84)
