1299467 2012-09-07 03:27:00 So for the last few months I have been hitting somewhere in the low 50s to mid 60s in gb usage for my internet.
So I have decided to look for an unlimited plan, does anyone have any suggestions as to which one would be good?
Oh and before anyone says it I cant go naked, I have no say over the phone line.

1299468 2012-09-07 03:32:00 A few things come to mind:
1) Speeds are always significantly slower on "unlimited" plans because ISP's here in NZ over-subscribe immensely and / or throttle you back a LOT
2) You're always going to pay a premium if you don't bundle your phone / internet with the same provider
3) Naked + VoIP is always going to be cheaper

I would suggest something like Orcons Genius plans, they have non-naked DSL options. I'm on the $99 for 200GB Naked DSL option and it's great :)

I would love to go naked but the parents control the phoneline not me, and we do have quite a few phones, the latest one is not 5 months old yet.

1299470 2012-09-07 05:17:00 Why not just up your plan to 120 GB (telecom) or 500Gb (Snap I think). Only Maxnet does unlimited I think, oh and slingshot do unlimted between 2 and 8 am still I think. But YMMV for how good the unlimited places are. psycik (12851)
