| 886519 | 2010-05-24 08:42:00 | We are a family of 4 (incl 2 teenagers) and we have steadily increased our plans with Telecom over the years. We were regularly fully utilising our 20GB on Explorer and moved to Big Time as it was the only larger capacity fixed price option. We were not particularly looking for unlimited usage - just wanted more capacity with the certanty of what we would be paying each month. While accepting that we will probably have to move (be moved) off Big Time I would like to see Telecom handle the change in a fair way by working through Big Time users and firstly moving the really large users to alternative plans. Also, can they introduce a fixed price plan with more than 20GB capacity?? |

| 886522 | 2010-05-24 10:29:00 | Somebody else who finally agrees with me :p I do too :p I will be staying with ADSL1. I could pay $10/mo more and get a new modem - but I am not. Also, can they introduce a fixed price plan with more than 20GB capacity?? Can you elaborate? I think they have a 40GB plan right? Not sure if that is capped to dial up speed or pay as you go only. |

| 886523 | 2010-05-25 12:20:00 | Telecom's Pro Plan is (I think) pay as you go after 40GB. I can live with being throttled back to dial up speed after 40GB but don't like the thought of who knows what of a monthly bill with 2 teenagers having free reign! 40GB should be heaps for them but if extra is there (like on Big Time) it will gets used. |

| 886524 | 2010-05-26 00:44:00 | Looks to me like Slingshot's Pro Plan is the best bet, unless Telecon pull something out of their hat? (Not holding my breath though) :rolleyes: |

| 886525 | 2010-05-26 01:25:00 | I agree Chill... :p Looks to me like Slingshot's Pro Plan is the best bet, unless Telecon pull something out of their hat? (Not holding my breath though) :rolleyes: Sligshit's Pro plan looks very very good actually, especially with the free off peak downloading....is anyone on it? Can you comment on what the speeds are like? Just making sure I've got it right - for 25GB ADSL2+ FS up FS down and free downloading between 2am and 8am, with no phone line or calling through SS it's $59.95 a month? |

| 886526 | 2010-05-26 01:28:00 | Somebody else who finally agrees with me :p I agree with you too. What we need is more data allowance not faster speed. ADSL2+ is good enough for any home user and nobody needs to send 50MB photos of their dog to their grandma. |
