| 159826 | 2003-07-16 15:43:00 | Hey Just bear in mind that plans and prices change. If an ISP is getting mass user sign ups due to their Unlimited Bandwidth Cap on their JetStream Starter services then they are likely to enforce a cap somewhere along the line to ease congestion along their network. This is just to ensure that there is a reliable service available for the rest of their customers and not just those that download the latest linux distro's, movies and everything else that they can get their hands on. Also, if the ISP offers Unlimited downloads on their services, then most likely they will "restrict" the speeds available to P2P and other such networks. One such example of this isMaxnet (www.maxnet.co.nz), who ended up doing this for the reasons described above. CyberChuck |

| 159828 | 2003-07-17 02:57:00 | There are virtually NO isps left that have an Unlimited International traffic most have been capped from the beginning of this year. It is National data that is uncapped. I don't know of any ISPs that have a national Data cap. The main reason for the data caps is because telecom didn't have the foresight to see that NZ'rs would take to the high speed internet like a fish to water. Despite the fact that NZ had more people using the internet per population in any delveloped country. |
