If you are using 30 hours or less internet per month then you are paying far too much. Actrix (www.actrix.co.nz) only charge $9.95 for up to 30 hours per month usuage - even less than that if you take out a six or twelve month subscription.

Thanx Susan, but Paradise works for me - I rarely have connection problems and after all, it's still only 72 cents a day! less than 2 snail mails or half as much as my morning tea scone! I changed to Paradise for the service more than the cost. Xtra was either really slow or impossibly slow and the local crowd I was with for 5 years, The Net, in Hamilton, had problems with all their systems and then seemed to disappear altogether, so the cost is not everything and is really insignificant anyway.

117179 2003-02-03 01:39:00 39.95 per month + telecom's 29.95 ~~ 70

and with a 10 gig cap which I hate. the speed is ok, and its stable.

in the earlier days, It seemed that I could not check my online usage(jet start). now I can check my online usage at telecom page after a few tries. then I got an history view of my 128k dsl usage, I had never gone beyond 10g, even during the holiday period last month.
