| 138477 | 2003-04-24 07:37:00 | We are heading for a "high" speed internet connection and I am wondering, Is MaxNet a good ISP to go with? I mean, you hear of ISP's coming and going like tides but MaxNet seem to put up a good deal. I just want to know if any one knows if they are going to be around for a while. If they seem at all dodgy I will just go with Telecom but I would really like 12.6GB limit instead of 5Gb's. Thanks James |

| 138478 | 2003-04-24 08:22:00 | Why not any of the other higher end ISP's... Xtra caps at 5GB $unsure Paradise at 10GB $30.00 iHug at 10GB $34.95 Actrix at unlimited GB $149.95 All excluding the Telecom charge of $29.95 I personally wouldn't bother with Xtra imo they are one of the worst ISPs quality, price, and service wise... plus giving more money than you need to to Telecom isn't good. |

| 138479 | 2003-04-24 08:24:00 | Oh and Maxnet seem fairly reliable - they have been in the game for awhile and seem to have held up pretty well. I know a couple of people with them who seem satisfied with the service they are getting... |

| 138481 | 2003-04-25 04:57:00 | I delt with them briefly while looking round for my connection, I was politely told to bugger off, as when I advised them what sort of traffic I would likely be generating (50-60gb/month) they found me to be unprofitable :-( But hey you gotta respect em for that, they were polite, & if I wont make em money... why would they want me? So I recommend 'em for that at least. |

| 138485 | 2003-04-25 07:32:00 | > Elaborate... Jawohl! If one moves to Pukekohe and nearby districts, a local service will soon be available supplying uncapped 256 and 512 Kb/s Internet connectivity. Clear enuff? :D (or you could just read the local IDG IT news (computerworld.co.nz)) |

| 138486 | 2003-04-25 09:37:00 | I currently have uncapped 256, but ooooooohhh 512 would be better! & its the same(ish) price as what I am paying currently. too bad its in the middle of nowhere :-( |
