Should the TAB cover the bets?

1129708 2010-08-20 02:06:00 Slingshot is bad already...who knows what this will do! :lol: wratterus (105)
1129709 2010-08-20 02:10:00 I think that Slingshot may want more customers. Over the last three months I have been cold called by their sales department four times trying to convince me to change from my current ISP which is Xtra.

I make no apologies to the PressF1 members who were on Telecoms "Bigtime" and are going to lose same. Or to those who will not use Telecom on principle for that matter.

1129711 2010-08-20 02:30:00 I am with slingshot and they are hard to get hold of. I havent had any trouble as my questions were answered on their website once i found that.
Reason for choosing slingshot = price

Do not sign with them, if you wish to have anything approaching service.:groan:

I wonder how many Ex bigtime users will go to Slingshot and possibly denigrate the performance and speeds on your PC(s)?

1129715 2010-08-20 02:57:00 I wonder how a smaller ISP are going to do a flat rate plan considering that even with economies of scale, the biggest in the country can't do it?!

1129716 2010-08-20 03:07:00 Quick - note the small print now before they change it later:

How will Slingshot prioritise traffic for users on this plan?
Traffic will be prioritised in the following order:

1. VOIP, Gaming, NZ Content, 'Regular' browsing
2. Streaming, FTP
3. Email
4. Exceptions (that is, traffic that we are unable to classify by any other service described here)
5. Peer 2 Peer, file sharing

Will users have their speeds throttled based on the amount they have downloaded?
No.

Will the users of the 'All You Can Eat' plan affect the speeds or bandwidth allocation of our customers on capped plans?
No, as it is a separate allocation of bandwidth.
