1107942 2010-06-08 01:56:00 Any news about the latest update? I've not received any notification (email, letter) re the above. What about you guys? bk T (215)
1107943 2010-06-08 02:22:00 Just got the email, no news about an ETA for plan closure. Chilling_Silence (9)
1107944 2010-06-08 10:59:00 Nothing here since the email saying it would be shutting down Agent_24 (57)
1107945 2010-06-08 11:05:00 Didn't even get the email. :\

Anyone decided which ISP they are changing to?

1107946 2010-06-08 14:54:00 I'm not changing, everything else is pretty pathetic compared to the hassle Agent_24 (57)
1107947 2010-06-08 21:34:00 I still think Slingshot's $49 . 95 plan is the best alternative: 25Gb per month (FS/FS), with unlimited offpeak downloads, and data banking for any extra cap you buy .

Of course, there's the usual YMMV caveat regarding speed and reliability . I'm hoping against realistic expectation that Telecom aren't saying anything yet because they're about to launch a whole range of new plans with huge caps . . . . :dogeye:

I thought we will be forced to change to another PLAN or leave Telecom as they are shutting down Big Time.

Or, Telecom has changed their mind and still retain existing Big Time customers??

I can't see the second option being available.

Normally the fine print allows Telecom to change the terms of the original contract whether you agree or not.

I'm most likely going to go with Slingshot's nDSL . I wonder if Slingshot can handle the load . . . heh .

I'm reasonably confident that Telecom will realign all their plans . I don't think many people will be interested in cutting their usage down to 20GB or paying $120 for 40GB .

:confused: Telecom's 40GB plan is $79.95 ($89.95 if your calling isn't with Telecom), not $120, and from next month they've said they will cut the overuse costs to $2/GB (currently $0.02/MB, or $20/GB, which would HURT!).

Sure it's still not amazing for very high users, but for many it will be price-comparable to any alternative provider, especially if you don't want to stuff around changing who your calling is with etc.
