| 886345 | 2010-05-20 00:07:00 | I second that!100GB a month ?????? Only 100GB ;) Some of them said 850GB or 1,000GB Telecom's next reply: The reality of removing a plan means yes, eventually we have to close it down completely, you will receive a letter from us which will outline the exit plan, it will give you (at least) 30 days notice. |

| 886346 | 2010-05-20 00:14:00 | What's really stupid is how Bernie Newman is quoted saying "the Government was on the right track with its proposed investment in fibre-optic cable "so we can look forward to a time when bandwidth ceases to be a constraint".". What an idiot. Also, since when is bandwidth ever going to cease to be a constraint? As bandwidth goes up, so will demand. Higher and higher quality video streaming etc etc. |

Telecom blunders are in no way shape or form the fault of the customers on any level. And Telecom were well aware before they marketed the service that some people would use it to its full capabilities, Hell, It was deliberate to attract these people. And no doubt the recent dive in profits has more to do with the cancellation of this service then any other factor. A 2 year old could see the expected results, and plan accordingly. |

| 886349 | 2010-05-20 00:26:00 | That aside, If NZ was up with the play and we received our media online then 100GB a month wouldn't be unexpected. Mrs Metla was watching music video's on youtube the other day, In order to save some bandwidth I downloaded them so we could have a local copy, some of them were over 140mb each, so less then half an hours viewing and it was over a GB of data. Do that once a night for a week and that's our pathetic over priced cap blown on our insultingly slow "broadband" Damn customers, its all our fault. |

| 886350 | 2010-05-20 00:35:00 | Would it not be "fairer" if charges were a bit closer to proportional? ie,5GB is about $80 (including extras) a month so shouldn't the charge for 100GB be about $1600 ? (just thought I would throw that in) |

| 886351 | 2010-05-20 00:40:00 | with Xnet I believe I pay about $1 per GB on top of my $33 a month, so 100GB would cost $133 | Metla (12) | ||
| 886352 | 2010-05-20 01:09:00 | Thats a lot more than $60, and I think from my previous personal experiences that an "unthrottled" plan with Xnet is slower than a "throttled" plan with Telecom ;) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 886353 | 2010-05-20 01:22:00 | Xnet is crap and over priced. But so is everyone else. |

| 886354 | 2010-05-20 01:35:00 | Roll on FTTD then all the government needs to look at is the international Link and data prices. Whats Telecoms shares down to now 2 bucks? Cant say i would have a cry if the worst ever happened and MORE than happy for our tax dollars to fix this mess. |
