| 886477 | 2010-05-20 03:06:00 | www.geekzone.co.nz www.nzherald.co.nz Telecom has called time on its all-you-can-eat Big Time broadband plan as it struggles to manage traffic demand created by the plan. Telecom director of home services Ralph Brayham said a small number of users consuming terabytes of data had stressed the system to the point that, for technical and commercial reasons, the servive could no longer be offered. How the Frak does one use Terabytes of data? Hundreds of Gigabytes I could understand. :eek: |

What's greedy about purchasing unlimited and then using it? Isn't that what they purchased. Should they have purchase unlimited and then stop at 5 gig? |
