| 295934 | 2004-11-24 19:56:00 | Just read on the Herald website that woosh are offering a 1gb plan for $20 bucks a month and a $99 modem. Thats cheaper than dial up. Ive heard conflicting opinions about woosh but for $20 surely you cant go wrong. B. |

| 295935 | 2004-11-24 20:47:00 | That all depends on whether you are in a woosh coverage area, and know you can stick to under 1 GB per month (which isn't a lot). Looking at the woosh site (www.woosh.com), that $19.95 plan is only for the first 6 months, and then it goes up to the standard "Woosh Express 1" which is $39.95/month. The $39.95 is still $10 cheaper than the current Telecom equivalent speed/data plan if you have your tolls calls with Telecom. But if you were considering woosh, and know that your data usage will come under 1 gig/month, then now is a good time to grab these offers especially with the discounted modem (I see that it is not mentioned on the woosh site, but just in the Hearld article). |

My excuse, need more coffee! :D |

And you're locked into a 12month contract. Sooo $120 for first six months then $240 for the last six months totalling $360 for dialup speed internet. |
