I got a free email address from Orcon which I have been able to keep even when I changed from Orcon to Actrix.

www.orcon.net.nz

That's the strange thing - he already has his own domain name. :illogical

1168255 2011-01-10 23:56:00 So why not set his domain up to use Google? It's quick and easy to do-so?

PM / MSN me if you want a hand

1168257 2011-01-11 00:11:00 Data Caps? who needs them?

My parents are with TrustPower Kinect (we changed from TelstraClear), and we have Fastest speed down and up, plus no data cap! unlimited.

And i'm more than happy at the speeds.

My wife who is always looking for the best deal looked into changing to trustpower kinect but there power prices are a fair bit higher than what we pay here and once all the number crunching was done it was actually going to cost us more than vodafone and contact energy who we were with at the time. It is a good deal for those who don't hit their caps very often as it does carry over

The Yahoo! mail that Telecom provides is very nice, the free versions aren't so good because you get advertising.

Same problem with Hotmail too.

I think I'll stay with Telecom, get Flickr Pro for free too which is nice.

But if you use Thunderbird, all your e-mail from all your accounts appear in one window with NO advertising.
