| 170273 | 2003-08-26 12:00:00 | Just done a quick calc, I've done approximately 8035MB in July and so far in August on linux alone add win2k SP4 at 129MB and various drivers, patches, updates and a few CD burning programs to try out plus No 1 son playning online games, Kazaa, etc, things will getting a bit tight on my 10GB limit. I'm off to check my usage. Cheers Murray P |

| 170274 | 2003-08-26 14:47:00 | Yeah good question... I think that the more people use and know the internet and its potential, the more its used. Take Microslop for example... every single app that I know of has some reference in it to further resources on the Net. Video drivers (Nvidia and ATI for eg) are usually around 10 megs. I used to stay comfortably within my 1 gig limit however, doing mostly lotsa browsing and uploads, but online gaming has thrust me through that limit a lot recently. But now 5 gigs is plenty enough for me (I don't do major file sharing stuff) |

| 170277 | 2003-08-27 11:26:00 | just thought you guys might like to know,Telecom MAY be looking at cheaper prices,as over the next month they are triple-ing their ADSL help desk staff.Now,I don't know if they thought these prices were going to make that big a difference on uptake,but they obviously have something up their sleeve,perhaps,so maybe they are going to reduce the prices some more.I hope so! | Peter Coleman (597) | ||
| 170278 | 2003-08-27 11:38:00 | tripling helpdesk staff. to offer a expensive solution yet with prompt helpdesk ?:| or to deal with more complaints ?:| perhaps 128k will be capped v large if not unlimited. could it really be, to create hate then sympathy that Telecom really listen to people's concerns? |

| 170279 | 2003-08-28 09:13:00 | When I forwarded my comments on 5 August to Telecom they promised a response within 24 hours provided it was a working day if not this would be done by the next working day (or something like that). I am still waiting for a response. Nuff said !! :O |

| 170280 | 2003-08-28 10:22:00 | I say we gather up our collective geeky behinds and all write (yes, write, not email) to parliament (perhaps the Minister of Telecommunications and whatnot) telling them to do something about Telecom's iron grip on the phone exchanges (such as buying every single exchange). That way, we'd end up with a fair amount of complaints to the minister, who might do something about it. If goverment owned the exchanges, they would be in control of the technology etc in them. Else we could make a collective attempt to hack the exchanges and tell them to ring every phone at a certain time... just like someone did to an 'email marketing company' (you know, spammers). Then you'd probably find Telecom getting complaints. Guerilla tactics! ]:) :D |

| 170282 | 2003-08-28 11:23:00 | Ah yes, I thought we might stumble across a few old-hands who've forgotten how to put pen to paper ;) On a more serious note, the reason behind writing instead of emailing is because letters are generally accepted to be more formal than emails. Though, when weighing up either side: Telecom might filter complaints going through it's network somehow ;) They might also have a monopoly association with New Zealand Post, and filter out complaints about each other. Emailing is quicker. Letters are easier to get lost. Emails can be discarded or replied to automatically. Letters are dealt with by hand. Seems pretty even, overall. |
