| 215369 | 2004-02-14 00:33:00 | Hi guys, I would like to know if the new pricing structure, as of March 8 2004 is inclusive with the Telecom IP service e.g. your $70.00 ISP fee and your $30 fee to telecom. Here's what I got from The herald. An entry-level deal offering download speeds of up to 256kbps and with a 1GB download cap comes in at $40. A mid-grade deal for $50 offers a 3GB cap and a $70 deal offers a 10GB cap with no excess data charges. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| 215370 | 2004-02-14 00:41:00 | The telecom charge is an extra cost on top of the prices listed. | metla (154) | ||
| 215371 | 2004-02-14 02:26:00 | Wow. So for the 10gb plan you are looking at paying $100 a month. Stuff that, I like my woosh :) | PoWa (203) | ||
| 215372 | 2004-02-14 02:30:00 | As I read it, the prices are inclusive. If you read the telecom press release (www.telecom-media.co.nz), at the bottom it lists the various offerings as RETAIL through Xtra or RESALE (through other isps). Also, it states that the $39.95/month plan is only $0.40/day more that [xtra] dialup (which is $27.95/month flat rate). | wuppo (41) | ||
| 215373 | 2004-02-14 03:11:00 | I am with Wuppo on this. Of course the Telecom telephone line rental still stands alone, but the new prices are bundled ISP and Jetstream. $40 for 1 GB will fill many peoples needs. I will trade in JS Starter ($64.90) for the 3 GB package at $49.95. Thats $15 less than JS Starter. |

And I will probably go with $69.95 for the 10GB as that is only $5 more that JS Starter. 10GB is probably nat & int but I would only do about 4GB international & national combined but I just want it faster. On the face of it it does look like a good deal. |

| 215375 | 2004-02-15 05:56:00 | Well I asked Paradise if they were going to offer any options and their reply is Thanks for your query. TelstraClear currently has no plans at all to match the release that Telecom New Zealand Ltd has just done. We urge customers, as consumers, to go with the plans offered that best suits their needs even if it results in churn away from paadise net. We do have plans to release new products and services, however, there is no time span on this and they may not necesarily be variations in ADSL plans to compete with Telecom. |

| 215376 | 2004-02-15 06:02:00 | I agree with wuppo. The $69.95 they charge is their (Xtra's) ISP Charges AND their charges. | Growly (6) | ||
| 215377 | 2004-02-15 06:15:00 | What I want to know is whether the service will be managed.... i.e restrictions on bandwidth available for p2p, international gaming etc like many isp's do with JS Starter | Ashley Matthews (550) | ||
| 215378 | 2004-02-15 06:31:00 | > Well I asked Paradise if they were going to offer any > options and their reply is Well Big John, at least you got a response. I Emailed the help desk late Jan about them adding an info file about ADSL ( as on Xtra) and got an instant autoresponse saying "would be replied to in not more than 4 working days.." Got a reply in 12 days, which quite missed the point. Replied and got another auto. Human in 3 days ( improving !) which still missed the point. Two more subsequent exchanges, and awaiting another human reply. All very odd ............. |
