1134262 2010-09-03 03:13:00 You guys have probably seen like 2000 of these threads after telecom decided to eliminate their bigtime plan where 80% of New Zealanders are drowned in sorrow.
I just want to ask is there a reliable Isp out there which provides at least 80GB a month for a price around 100 dollars? I have looked around i found Nznet but i haven't heard anyone use it before, and Xnet which is pay per GB. Its a family of 4 moderate usage so around 80-100gb a month is fine, telecom's 40gb just doesn't cut it. Any suggestions would be awesome, im in auckland if there is relevance.

Thanks for the help

:thanks

1134263 2010-09-03 03:27:00 80-100GB in NZ is definitely heavy usage.

Xnet would be one of your only affordable option, but see my other thread.

On Naked DSL that would cost $150/month.

That is quite a bit of money, i've found some not so known isp which seem to offer very low prices looks really dodgy, e.g worldnet i goggles them and all i found were complaints they were ignorant.

1134269 2010-09-03 04:30:00 Professional DSL Max/128k 100GB free $79.95

This is the plan i was going to go for on nznet i think i might need to take one for the team on this one, just couldn't find a review of em. The price looks right and the disconnection fee is only $99 so not much.

Cause we are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers (gamers, tvnz ondemand etc) we use heaps

1134270 2010-09-03 04:47:00 slingshot have an unlimited plan for $79.95, with similar restrictions on p2p like big time. utopian201 (6245)
1134271 2010-09-03 04:57:00 slingshot have an unlimited plan for $79.95, with similar restrictions on p2p like big time.

i got told slingshot is very slow, is it a true fact? I have dealt with their customer service reps before and they were one of the worst i've had to deal with
