109871	2002-12-30 00:16:00	Hi, I just arrive in New-zealand (I am French) and I want to take ADSL at home for videoconferencing with netmeeting and I have 2 questions... *Is the jetstart 128kb speed enough or is it much better with jetstream?But I think jetstream data cap (<1Gb) is too low for videoconferencing 1hour per day... *For jetstart, only maxnet ISP has no data cap? For 1hour videoconferencing per day, do you think the 10Gb data cap (world-net for example) is enough? or 5Gb enough? What do you advise to me? What is the better solution with which provider? Thank you... Frog	frog (2877)

However, from what I understand, they reserve the right to slow it down if you're using a lot of bandwidth and there are a lot of other customers trying to use it at the same time or something like that... JetStart would certainly be cheaper, and when I get cable, hopefully in 2 months time, I will be going with MaxNet because they have not capped Jetstart yet, and I would probably go over the 5GB limit with surfing alone! If you want higher frame-rates and are prepared to pay with your wallet, then go with Jetstart. Cheers Chilling_Silence	Chilling_Silence (9)
