I heard that for the speed to go a bit faster you would need FS upload as well.

886426 2010-07-13 04:57:00 Thanks David - should've pointed out I'm currently on ADSL2+ with Telecom, but was looking to move to SS; does the fact that my exchange has already been upgraded automatically mean that ADSL2+ is available through other ISP's, provided I purchase a plan that allows for it?


Provided they're wholesaling off Telecom Chorus, then yeah, you basically get ADSL2+ as well :) (AFAIK)

^ +1 :).

886427 2010-07-13 05:06:00 ^ +1 :).

Have e-mailed Slingshot with my Exchange details to confirm this.

I think the safest option is to wait for the Big Time deadline to pass however, and see which ISP's get nailed/oversubscribed with exiting Telecom users!! :D

886428 2010-07-14 06:48:00 Has anyone come up with a good substitute for the now defunct and soon to be gone big time plan.

I would be most happy to completely say goodbye to Idiotcom that would be over $500 per month less they would be getting from me.

886429 2010-07-14 06:56:00 I'm looking into Woosh's Wired Broadband, they apparently offer 100GB +/- a homeline. Just a matter of getting in contact with them. Sent them an email regarding, I'll post when I get a reply. Netsukeninja (13296)

886431 2010-07-14 07:20:00 I think my next ISP will have agree to my terms and conditions.

Will supply me my phone and not piss me off
will supply me broadband and not piss me off
Will pay thru the nose if they cancel or change either of the above and or piss me off

simple really

886433 2010-07-14 07:52:00 Yeah it's terrible. Best value-for-money looks like Vodafone's Ultimate Pack:
www.vodafone.co.nz

If you go over you get capped, or you can buy another 30GB for $30, which is half the cost of what most ISP's will charge you for additional data (Usually $2 per-GB).

886434 2010-07-14 09:20:00 Reckon your right re" vodafone, still a bit of time. Like was wisely posted above maybe worth sitting back some and waiting to see what pops up. Kelem (10339)
