| 815202 | 2009-09-29 18:53:00 | Hi Guys Just saw an ad on tv. Telecom are advertising their new Big time broadband plan. For a fixed $59.95 a month you get unlimited data. She says there will be no surprises ! I am sure there will be, just as how every other Telecom plan has some hitches. What do you think ? I must admit that the presenter of the ad could come and install it at my place anytime she wants ! Regards Digby |

| 815206 | 2009-09-29 19:39:00 | Yup - I looked at that plan, but didn't like the idea of wobbly connection speeds to Youtube etc, so just opted for the 20Gb plan - same $$ per month, and more than enough cap. | nofam (9009) | ||

Been on it since the week it came out....love it. Have other friends on it as well that also love it. In saying that I have heard of people that have gone on and come off it as it was too slow, and browsing was effectively dialup. Seems to be pretty dependant on where you are. |
