| 294317 | 2004-11-20 21:26:00 | I am so lucky to live in part of NZ where i can get both saturn lines or telecom lines........... the strange thing is that nither provider can give me what i want. if I was in a telecom only zone it would be easy. I currently have phone and TV with saturn. I want high speed internet. I dont want to pay extra data charges. I dont want to change my phone number. saturn have ADSL on the website as a service you can get, they cant give it to me because i and on saturn phone lines and i need to be on telecome phone lines to get ADSL. telecom wont give me ADSL billed through saturn because i live in a saturn cable zone. saturn will take telecom customers and let you keep your telecom phone number, telecom wont do the same for the other way around. now i know that all of that reads like one of those logic problems but it comes down to the fact that to get the internet connection that i want i have to change phone numbers. i dont care about changing company, i just want the same phone number. now if i lived in levin or some such then telecome would provide me with a phone line and give me ADSL over it and let be bill it with either telecom or saturn. i could switch back and fourth between then every few months and keep the same number. where is the logic in the fact that i cant get saturn ASDL becasue i live in a saturn cabe zone !!??!!?!?!? |

| 294320 | 2004-11-21 04:23:00 | so are telecom going to give you free data??????? Have a look at telstras packages I have 5 GB for $85.90 or something similar. That includes my phone and all the addons such as call minder and fax line etc. I don't have to pay telecom $40.00 approx for line charges - seems good to me. |

I dont expect to go over 5GB but i also dont want to pay for it if i do. ADSL has a plan that gives 10GB and then speed linits you. this is what i want, but i cant get it through saturn, because i am in a saturn cable zone. |

Well so far this month I have clocked over 20GB and that is just on JetStart at 128Kb connection. I do all sorts online stuff. Web surfing, streaming video and audio, downloads, updates, online gaming, the list goes on but I always get well up over 5GB and usually over 10GB as well. |

Thats the thing about different companies. They all offer something different. Can't you keep your same phone # if you go over from Saturn? I know if you shift from Telecom to TelstraClear, you can keep the same # Have you asked Saturn ~ or ~ Telecom? |

| 294326 | 2004-11-21 08:06:00 | Why don't you talk to Telstra regarding their 10GB plan or maybe they have a plan for bulk users. Can't hurt to ask. Rob |
