| 170243 | 2003-08-25 08:42:00 | This is the reply that I sent to Telecom based on the earlier thread on this subject : Hi I am a member of the NZ PCWorld forum - PressF1. Regarding your new packages which our members have been looking forward to and eagerly anticipating for many months I can advise you that there are already exactly 50 comments received. More will definitely come. Every single comment, without exception has been unfavourable, mostly very. Up to now Telecom have always had supporters and there have always been those who are not, some of whom get carried away. This time however Telecom have not a single supporter and the overwhelming thing coming through is that people feel really let down and do not think the new packages worth while at all. I too feel really let down, as I thought like virtually everyone else that Jetstream Starter would double speed to 256k with no price increase. This was felt to be the absolute minimum. Extremely disappointing ! Hopefully (naive !!?) this may get some small attention. I agree however that to get any notice you have to be relatively diplomatic. If most of the members and some friends from PressF1 put in some comments that have been thought through then I think that we can have some real impact. We should also canvas MP's and Ministers of Parliament. Get to it !!!!! Misty :) |

| 170244 | 2003-08-25 09:10:00 | I sent an email the other day referencing this forum (and the other thread about the new pricing options). I received a reply today telling me that it has been forwarded to the Manager of Jetstream Services and Plans (what a title!). I'm waiting for a reply :p Mike. |

| 170245 | 2003-08-25 11:23:00 | Telecom's Jetline package of $94.95 incl phone and ADSL Full speed JS 500MB. Thats about $55 for the adsl thing. I assume that is still available? |

| 170246 | 2003-08-25 11:41:00 | Just think of how many unawared people will be bitten.. Well, I have yet to get broadband, I was considering it before, even looking into what modem should I get. If I did get it, it will be Telstra Clear cable modem with a TelstraClear telephone account. The largest data broadband in NZ has is 30GB by a 3rd party ISP. Ha! The largest ISP and who owns the network - 5GB. hahahahahah :^O :^O :^O Descent broadband is capped at 500MB or 2GB. Maybe myself and all others on this forum are not typical users of the web ?:| |

| 170248 | 2003-08-25 12:04:00 | There could be an upside people. Look out for specials on adsl routers and such like. I bet we weren't the only ones anticipating these fantastic new plans. BTW, this is the Hon Paul Swains email addy pswain@ministers.govt.nz he is Minister of both, Communications and Information Technology. Be polite, you are asking for help and support.

I saw a link just the other day where someone did that with the SCO/Linux deal. *wonders where the link went* |

| 170252 | 2003-08-25 15:21:00 | i wouldn't care if they give me 500MBs or 5GBs, jetstream is the only isp (that i know of) that gives free national traffic thats all you need it is true they will make a bit of money off the noobies but if they charge the noobies $500 a month they will run out of noobies my uses: Internet: i go threw 1-5MBs an hour on international sites (penuts) Games: Always NZ Servers (cos they are fast) P2P: I use Direct Connect and i share within NZ with other jetstream pcs (never kazaa) Downloads: Takes me 1min longer to find a NZ mirror or Direct Connect (also faster) i only used 237MBs this month on international (mainly pics) of my 5GBs thus jetstream is the best for me because, it is also low latency its on the bandwidth(amount of data per second) that matters its the latency(response speed) |
