| 1374048 | 2014-05-03 23:30:00 | Telecom has introduced 'unlimited data (www.telecom.co.nz)' plan - of course, with 'traffic management'. A repetition of the old 'Go Large' plan? |

| 1374051 | 2014-05-04 06:23:00 | I'd never trust any offer from Telecom. There is always a catch in it. I have not used them for 6 or 7 years and never will. |

| 1374053 | 2014-05-04 06:45:00 | It's the traffic management that always killed it for me, messed up my gaming which I never understood. Some opinion seems to be that gaming is a big bandwidth hog but it's really not, watching a medium quality youtube video uses far more than most games for example. Sure it can add up to a bit over a month if you game constantly but it's not that bad really. This one seems to exclude gaming from the traffic management but once bitten and all that. If I knew my normal activities such as Gaming, Streaming, Youtube, and general surfing would not be adversely affected I'd be all for it, but I don't trust that to be the case after previous experience with Go Large I just went and looked at my usage logs, seems the TiVo has caused my usage to be un-metered (which I knew about) for over a year now(which I was surprised at) so I have no Idea what my average usage is and already am uncapped effectively :) I thought that would end with Caspa but it hasn't. I'd never trust any offer from Telecom. There is always a catch in it. I have not used them for 6 or 7 years and never will. Fair enough you don't want to use them but if you've not used them in so long you can't really be sure there's "always" a catch. Unless by catch you mean there are cheaper ISPs available. All deals from all companies have terms and conditions, if you don't read them I'm not sure that makes them a "catch" Anyway, not advocating Telecom just saying I've always had good service from them apart from my Go Large experience and would only really complain on price if anything about my current plan. When fibre arrives in my street in 2016 I may take a serious look at who to go with then. |

| 1374056 | 2014-05-04 22:53:00 | Go large never bothered me, I loved when I was on it. And will be goin gon to this - hopefully via naked ufb. Speed - who cares, not having to worry about bandwidth is a bonus. Also I'll check out voda and orcon as well, as the telecom offering is a little dearer than others. |

We will manage the traffic types that we need to in order to provide the best possible experience for the most customers. Most of the time this just means managing the types of traffic that are non-interactive to minimise any impact to you. |
