Even in teh US, they are moving towards caps. They also use traffic shaping, which they call by a different name, something like 'prioritize traffic'. Heaps of threads about problems on Geekzone and trademe. They are a company I would never recommend, after the poor support I got. I am looking at telecom, I heard that they have door knockers advertising 12 months of double your data, and no contract, which sounds good. |

| 1136792 | 2010-09-13 06:08:00 | Go large was actually pretty decent in the end, sure it lacked on a few things but was generally fine. Slingshot however is rubbish. I would of thought that general browsing at least would be bearable. We can't stay with telecom, 4 of us in the flat and all pretty heavy users so the lousy 20GB cap Telecom gave us was nowhere enough, in fact telecom don't actually offer anything worthwhile for us. Might move I think, somewhere where Telecom can't control anything |

The latency?!! How the hell does it turn out that bad? It's 2-3 worse than one would get on dial up? Seriously, I'd be on the phone with their technical support screaming and demanding a refund. |

| 1136795 | 2010-09-13 06:23:00 | www.speedtest.net Not bad for Telecom. Sure, it's a capped plan, but still. Considering I'm in the middle of nowhere... |
