1209703 2011-06-17 06:57:00 While I pay $70 for 30GB with landline with Orcon now. The tel support is better with Actrix. Both in terms of quickness and just how they talk .... Nomad (952)

Thats a good price for 30Gb, you must be in there zone for that price? IF i go to their website it will cost me 108/month

EDIT: We use orcon at work and they have nealy always been easy to contact (But business is different to pleb home stuff)

1209705 2011-06-17 22:06:00 ....but internationally?
All of what you've said is probably NZ-local, such as Steam, and national Speedtest mirrors, yet 90% of browsing probably comes from overseas ;)

Looks like you are probably right Chill.... i bet you hear that a lot. Haha
I downloaded ubuntu last night at 900kb/s but this morning it will only go 55kb/s
Speed test is still ok locally. How do you make it go overseas, it keep defaulting to the fastest server (50km away)

Not in their zone, I'm in Welly. Just a suburb.
It was their special offer with a 1yr contract commitment. Cannot be capped thou .. so if you are over, hope there's money in the bank. :D

1209707 2011-06-18 00:29:00 Yeah I think I'll stay with Telecom and not get surprised by a $5000 phone bill... Agent_24 (57)
1209708 2011-06-18 00:43:00 Globe how'd you get that upgrade?

I had to pay an extra $5 a month for another 5gb to get on their new plan ($55 month, no phone/tolls)

I think they have screwed up personally, they dont even have an 80Gb plan!!
It all happened when i was upgraded to adsl2+.
The first month my bill went from $103 down to $57 and i thought this is weird but i aint telling any one. People could ring me but i couldnt ring out (Aha they arent charging me for phone)
Then this month still $57 but now my phone has stopped. Im going to just use my cell phone for now to see how i cope.

I have had to pay an extra 5 bucks instead of $52/month it is $57 no phone/tolls so it has gone up but in reality i have naked broadband with an 80Gb plan for 57 bucks a month (holy sh1t)

1209710 2011-06-18 22:51:00 Haha good man.

Though chances are you'll eventually end up with a big bill when they find out.

80gb would be nice, but then again I do manage about 30 - 60gb offpeak data on top of my 15/20gb every month. Number 1 reason why I don't change from Slingshot - because of those 4 hours of offpeak I get. Set downloads. Set Windows Task Scheduler. Set Shutdown Timer. Win.
