152831	2003-06-16 03:07:00	I am keen to get ADSL internet access but Im confused about the costs-I know you have to pay telecom, plus your ISP but I dont understand the data costs-how much do many of you actually end up paying per month?	charmed (1903)
152832	2003-06-16 04:07:00	Telecom charge $29.95 for ADSL access (Jetstream Starter) irrespective of which ISP you use. Xtra charge $34.95 as the ISP, for their part of Jetstream Starter. Other ISP charges may differ slightly. Total $64.90, if using Xtra. That cost (the Xtra portion) is for up to 5 GB of international data per month, and unlimited national data. Other ISP's charges will differ a bit as will the data allowance. The above assumes you already have a normal phone line installed. If you want Telecom to install ADSL filter etc, then thats a on-off extra cost.	godfather (25)

Lets say you’re on my ISP Quicksilver (& you are getting Jet Stream Starter) & you go over the 10 GB international traffic cap then you You only pay 10c per MB excess international traffic . But if you Do Not Go over the 10 GB international traffic cap Then you just pay $64 . 90 that is the Total Monthly Cost excluding Telephone rental Hope this has answered the question :) & I hope I have not confused you any more :) If you have any more question just ask	stu140103 (137)

152835	2003-06-16 05:31:00	Full speed adsl costs me $89.00 per month including costs from both Xtra and Telecom, for 1GB traffic, and 18c per meg over that. I usually use 300 - 600 megs per month, unless I'm doing a lot of online gaming, which will take me up to about 1200 - 1400 megs. Normally I guess I use the Internet somewhat more than average (apart from those avid P2P downloaders - the scourge of broadband) because I'm always uploading stuff to customers' websites.

152837	2003-06-16 10:54:00	GF your price of $69.95 plus the regular telecom phone line is $107.95 for the basic with excess costs on top. Is it likely that the package cost will drop to make it affordable to more people??? Poppa John	Poppa John (284)

I could be wrong but I think that the price is $69 . 95 full stop . Because you can use your telephone at the same time as being online with Jetstream you do not need to have a second telephone line unless you wish to have two telephones on two separate lines .	tommy (2826)

You can use the telephone line at the same time as Jetstream . The $64 . 90 only covers the ISP connection fee and Telecoms Jetstarter adsl service fee, and not the additional cost of a single regular phone line . $64 . 90 + Telecom homeline fee .	Jen C (20)
