1139751 2010-09-26 21:56:00 The ISP we use, I beleive they are holding off on the GST increase but you could probably bet your last dollar that many other companies will be in a rush to increase, then there will be those that will hike there pricing under the guise of GST.

Like anti virus testing, be interesting real world end results of just how much better or worse off people are compared to what the govt is touting once the increase and rebates flow through.

1139754 2010-09-27 02:24:00 These prices looks stupid. From a nice round number to some odd cents when we don't have 1 or 2c anymore ... Nomad (952)

Yes, if one paid cash I wonder if the 0.73 cents would be rounded up to 0.80 or down to 0.70 ?

That is the problem with that sort of pricing. With my business I have my prices exclusive of GST, which is great for this sort of situation, as you don't have to change the advertised price.

So, I wonder if they will raise the price of the plan to a nice round figure after a few days, weeks months? And make it GST included.
