Not very astute of you there Metla. As the all knowing "no-all" I am surprised you allowed yourself to be ripped off. Have a hanky HaHa |

There was and untill October will not be a single better deal then the plan i am currently on. People like yourself could learn a lot. |

Take every thing from T/c, Shop, Mobile, Home, All, T/C can not stop you keeping your number as your shop is (Should be) Commercial . One day T/C may learn . Once T/c have soaked up the Majority of available B/band customers, before the open up . They will wait a few months after the open up then change the rules, like they did on Xtra with the Higher pricing in the peak (Really normal usage period that they call peak) periods . |

| 271455 | 2004-09-12 11:45:00 | Do you read your posts before submitting them? I'm yet to find one I can make a scrap of sense out of. When talking about Telecom and TelstraClear in the same post, abbreviating them both to T/C isn't a good idea? |

| 271456 | 2004-09-12 11:48:00 | I think your dispute with telecom is a bit Misguided .. after all they do own the lines and can charge whatever they want for their use. This was created by the government of the day when they sold OUR assets. ( they didn't even ask me!) We need competition that is willing to take a risk to introduce REAL broadband at a fair price.... Well it aint going to happen for at least 5 years so get over it. I would suggest you direct your attention to your local member of parliment, they are the ones that refuse to unbundle the lines, they sold the asset, and we suck the results .. right out of our wallets ... ha As for orcon.. Just doing a good Job with the tools they have to work with, like most companies with having to pay a huge margin to Telecom. |

Normally, I ignore your GIGO, in the mentioned post is says Telstra Clear and T/c . What else is in your coffe jar? |

| 271458 | 2004-09-12 11:58:00 | One more thing .. and someone can correct me here (if they find me incorrect), The data charge, in and out, and other costs are related to the initial cost of laying the cable throughout the pacific rim in the late 90's (which Telecom own's a large share of), so to pay this loan off to lay the cable we must pay a premium... so the share holders of telecom get a good return on their asset as well. I suspect in 5 years the price will be 1/3 what we pay now .. in fact I would demand that if not more! | fairway (5932) | ||

| 271461 | 2004-09-12 22:13:00 | That price for Jetstream sounds pretty high metla, does it include line charges? My supplier is Xtra/Telecom and I started on $69 for full speed Jetstream with 400 or 500MB cap (can't remember the exact amount), later increased to 600MB at no extra cost, then upgraded to 1GB for another $10, so now I pay $79 per month . (just checked the account to make sure because the boss pays all the bills) . My dial-up is a Freenet time-capped account and I never get near having to pay them I was a very early adopter for Jetstream so it's possible that I hooked in to a special deal at that time, but I don't remember anything like that . Maybe somebody else will have comparative figures so we can get a handle on what spread of prices Telecom may have out there . Cheers Billy 8-{) |
