886338 2010-05-19 23:18:00 As expected. Telecom should have learnt from their past failure 'Go Large' plan but unfortunately, they didn't!

BTW, when will they learn? Or, will never!

Looks like they have big, big, MANAGEMENT problem - like most NZ organistions, both private and public (Govt).

I fail to understand why they want to spend millions of dollars on paying those CEOs who only know and do nothing about their job.

No one can justifiy 500gb a month even if it is a all-you-can eat.
Yes it is Telecoms fault that they can't get the throttling right to make this type of plan viable but it is the users fault for these ridiculous download numbers most of which just gets deleted anyway.

But that's only about 20 BluRay movies downloaded via the Pirate Bay!!

886342 2010-05-19 23:35:00 I have heard people say go get BT - you save money by not renting DVDs or going to the movies or even go out. You can stay home get movies for free, get free s/w, turn their heaters right up to high twenties walk around the house in shorts, t shirts and jandals.

I have lived in uni hostels before in senior flats, you should see what some people do as the power bills are incl in the higher cost rents with the hostel. They heat their room up so much, they even open the oven door and turn the oven to full whack.

People I think get the latest and greatest. In the olden days it was cool to have the latest Office and Windows and all the hot games and have all the hot utilities like North Systemworks (the suite of all Nortons). Such and such who went back home overseas, hey get me a free cheap game or win or office lol. That's what they did. They get cheap movies so they came back and shared them - VCD formats back then. And, I remember the days, all you can use dialup internet with Ihug $49.95.
