Yes, I had a lot of research to do for a client and could hardly work with the lower speed, so I paid up the $10 and upped the quota to 20GB. At the end of the month I'll tie a rope around my son's vital bits, hook it to the towbar of my car then reduce the quota back to 10GB again.

Took nearly two days for Telecom to activate but it was the weekend so no complaints.

Cheers

1179157 2011-02-17 08:22:00 10GB is a bit small for skyping don't you think? We go through 10 gig in a week or even maybe 3 days (estimated as we are on unlimited, so there is no usage meter) goodiesguy (15316)
1179158 2011-02-17 08:27:00 No need for that...I only vaguely remember the thread about the laptop so I suppose I would've been as clueless as Rob.

All the best for your daughter Billy

It's all good considering i took part in the mentioned thread, SB is ok, just me having a moment :D

1179161 2011-02-17 17:40:00 Yeah I think its a flaw in the mobile version. I meant to hit "take me to the top" last night but I hit "Post quickly reply" instead, and it posted a blank post. Ill look into it...

I was going to organise a AUCK celebratory drink.

Same here, I upped my cap to 40Gb and in the first week 10Gb gone.

1179164 2011-02-17 23:53:00 Each week we have about three or four video Skype calls, usually about 30 mins in duration, to daughters and grandchildren.

I have a 10Gb contract with Paradise, and have never come close to exceeding that. Other usage is email, internet browsing, downloading files.

We turn off Skype when not using it for a call - we all txt each other to set up each call.

Billy, the first departure can be a trifle traumatic... If our experience is anything to go by with our three departing for all sorts of places (the Antarctic for a year, and various places in the Northern Hemisphere), there is frequent contact in the first weeks. Gradually that tails off as the departed one separates out from reliance on the old life and develops all sorts of involvements with the new. The trick is not to take it personally when they don't seem to need you as much as they once did!

Me too! I was wondering what the hell to say if that was the situation!!
