242940 2004-06-11 23:37:00 While the JetStream Surf flat-rate plan has a stated monthly traffic limit of 10GB (gigabytes) of data, one user has been told Telecom has no ability to reduce a user's speed at the moment and that some clients are exploiting the flaw to send and receive as much data as they can .

At least one user reportedly sent and received about 120GB of traffic without paying for the additional data - which could cost at least $5500 a month .

Telecom's internet and online marketing manager, Chris Thompson, said the automated speed limitation process would not begin until September at the earliest when a new billing system would be introduced .

"But we can do it manually today if we need to," he said .

Thompson said at present Telecom was not limiting customers' speeds and would monitor high-end users to see just what they were capable of .

"We've been using it as a bit of a test-bed to see what people will do and what their usage habits are . There is a small number of very high-end users out there . "
