96606 2002-11-06 22:09:00 Hi,
I'm a loyal 56k user, have been using it for years..since 95...
but, i guess i should catch up with technology and go jetstreaming..
But as i am a student i'm tight on cash...so just want to know if there are any good deals around, for a reasonable gigabite cap, since i beleive alot of jetstream plans aruond here are pretty capped up...
And also..Is it recommended for me to go jetstreaming? because I only use the computer to check emails, play online games, and download stuff..music of kazaa for a friend...i dont really use online streaming movies or voice stuff etc as I'm Deaf...
My only advantage of jetstream voer 56k is that it doesnt take up the phone line when ur online....but the speed..doesnt really matter me basically..faster the better yeah but, caps and stuff....mmm

Hope someone can give me a few ideas, recommendations, comments, and ideas, to see where my decison would end up

96607 2002-11-07 00:19:00 I think Maxnet are yet to give jetstream a cap, theres another one maybe two out there that havent got the cap for JetStream Starter (128KBPS I believe) so go for something like that. You'll enjoy the benifits in the long run! Chilling_Silence (9)
96608 2002-11-07 02:50:00 The 128k Jetstream is good, but irrespective of who you buy from, its a significant monthly cost.

This is because its on top of the phone line, and ISP cost. And you can only enjoy it at the location you have it installed, so if you connect from a variety of locations you will be paying dial-up connection cost as well in some cases.

You are looking at about $30/month extra, minimum

96610 2002-11-07 04:23:00 Chris, One thing you could do to check if Jetstream is available in your area is go to the Xtra page Jetstream-Check (www.telecom.co.nz) and type in your phone number.
