| 286497 | 2004-10-31 20:23:00 | Hi fellow F1ers, I while back, I remember Xtra provided a Jetstream plan with unlimited national traffic, but 10gb or 10mb of international traffic. Where is this plan now? I don't seem to be able to find it, as Xtra have changed their pricing plans a few times since I looked into JetStream last time. I reason I want to find this plan, because I am looking at Video Conferencing. Suppose there was free national traffic, I could use video conferencing at no charge if I conferenced with those in New Zealand, but would need to pay for those conferences overseas. Mister Harbies |

Not going to happen. |

| 286499 | 2004-10-31 20:32:00 | Yes, This is all I found, but I was trying to point out that I could not find the old plan, so I suppose you are suggesting the old plan is finished now? So, what about JetStreamGames website, don't they talk about free gaming through their website because it is national traffic? Or is it because they have some agreement with Telecom? Mister Harbies |

That's correct. > So, what about JetStreamGames website, don't they > talk about free gaming through their website because > it is national traffic? Or is it because they have > some agreement with Telecom? I'm not sure the reasoning behind free access to Jetstreamgames is because it's local traffic, although that may be partly correct. I'd say it's more of a promotional thing to encourage customers to join Jetstream ADSL services (Jetstream games free service is only available to NZ ADSL users) |

Telecom are changing their plans every 5 minutes at the moment, the last release of plans was valid for about a month at best then they changed everything again. We've give up updating our web-site to match their plan changes, and certainly won't be printing brochures again anytime soon. > So, what about JetStreamGames website, don't they > talk about free gaming through their website because > it is national traffic? Or is it because they have > some agreement with Telecom? JS Games is a Telecom provided service, to receive it for free you have to log into a specific JS Games realm, which used to give you full speed free access. Now it gives you free access at the same speed as your existing plan. Rumours are it will be discontinued in the not too distant future. |

You sure that's correct? I connected to it about 5 days ago and downloaded a 750MB file at 6Mb/s - I'm on a 256k Jetsurf plan. |

When Telecom control the DSL speed at Network level, you will probably unable to connect at anything above your plan speed, anywhere. But that has not yet happened globally as far as I know. Until then JSG realm is full speed. |

They are rolling it out at the moment, it has to do with the speed restrictions being moved closer to the line endpoint rather than further up the exchange. |
