273216 2004-09-17 09:42:00 Helloooo,

Does anyone know if they are capping people (limiting speed) who have exceeded the 10GB limit yet?

273217 2004-09-17 09:49:00 isnt this all part of the new plans coming about in a couple of weeks?
I think the caps only apply to certain ISPs.
Go with Orcon and you'll get 256k/128k uncapped.

273220 2004-09-17 09:59:00 ok then.
I've just been reading www.nzherald.co.nz

Looks like moving to South Korea might not be such a bad idea after all (kidding).

WTF is wrong with Telecom?

I just signed a 6 month contract on ADSL with Orcon (who were advertising this new offer and the upgrade to 256k)). Does this mean I can ditch the contract and run off to wireless? Will have to see.

I can't believe this 'technical glitch'. All a load of cobblers. I think there's something a bit more sinister behind this move, but then maybe I've just grown to become sceptical of telecom.
Either that or Telecom really are just inept.

ahh.

Looks like Orcon have struck a deal.

Should learn to read on more before I spout on about Telecom. Just gets me worked up!

Completely unrelated.

They are as yet not limiting speeds on the surf plans as they haven't been able to link the billing system with the rate limiting setup so it reverts at the end of the month etc.

Completely unrelated to the above drama.

273223 2004-09-17 11:21:00 I've consistently been between 3 & 8GB over the 10GB mark for the last 5 months & my speed hasn't been curtailed yet.
But I'm waiting....
