| 1119941 | 2010-07-18 23:53:00 | I wonder how many dial up accounts are actually used though. I signed up with Orcon a long time ago and with my broadband got a lifetime dial up account. I haven't paid Orcon a cent for some three years now but that account is still available for me to use. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||

| 1119943 | 2010-07-19 00:16:00 | Well as noted above, customers yes, but "fully" active maybe not. Also, I know Orcon supplies KOL at times, I did ping test and hopped to Orcon's servers. KOL told me they use them a bit. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1119944 | 2010-07-19 01:51:00 | I used my Dialup for the first time in years a month or so ago when Telecom screwed up and swapped my line with someone else who didn't have DSL | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1119945 | 2010-07-19 04:47:00 | Orcon doesn't "supply KOL at times" ... it owns KOL, and has done for the last 12 or 18 months. (along with a couple other isp's they acquired) So all KOL customers would be included as part of Orcons total of dialup customers (and those of the other ips's they bought probably) Lisa Gentsch’s Experience * Marketing Manager - Contract Orcon Internet (Self-employed) (Self-Employed; Design industry) February 2009 — Present (1 year 5 months) 12 month contract managing Kiwi Online (KOL), a prepaid dial up company owned by Orcon Internet.

PJ Especially for the older generation who don't use the internet very much but still want to keep in touch with family via email, etc. My parents recently went back to dialup as they couldn't justify BB for the amount of use it got. Same with my father-in-law, when he was alive. |
