| 1124273 | 2010-08-03 07:56:00 | I am sure you guys have heard about it . I think they are great, much cheaper, over time can only get cheaper . I particularly like it that we are finally started moving towards the wireless age and that some people may not have a landline and now one can rely on 3G but the price is not as bad . ADSL . I think Telecom has the 3GB at $40 right? Some ISPs have it at $30 or $35 depending if you want 256k or FS/128k or FS/FS . Add a landline and it's not much diff to 2D's of $50 . It's 10GB is not bad either at $150 . ADSL might be $45 for the landline and then perhaps $40-50 for ADSL depending on who you go with and the speed of the upload . |

| 1124275 | 2010-08-03 08:21:00 | Those prices are only in the main cities, dunno yet but I read 7.6Mbit is the theoretical speed. I think they will be great for those younger people and some retirees who don't have a landline. Like dialup, ADSL requires $45 landline and then the $30-50 BB fee. Just to have the most basic connection. These days with laptops one can be online in the civic square enjoying the sun or in a cafe. You won't have 2 accounts to attend with. |

| 1124276 | 2010-08-03 08:25:00 | I'm also curious - their new rates beat Vodafone's hands-down, so if the performance is good enough then I might consider switching. | Erayd (23) | ||

That's the biggest rort of all data plans - use it or lose it. Telecom's 500 MB prepaid pack is "pay for what you use". If you use less than 300 MB then you don't pay the whole $30 ($22.50 when using the biggest topup bonus). |
