805083 2009-08-30 00:44:00 Sorry all. Right, my wife and I have for some time wanting to get rid of the Telecom charges $49 a month. We are already using the Xnet river plan $31 a month which needs the Telecom switch board from Nelson. We are thinking seriously of purchasing the ata box and going onto Xnet fusion $69. And were asking the question I suppose, what is the popularity of the Raw broard band

We don't have a phone line here - we use TelstraClear Cable internet, and either use mobile phones or 2Talk for phone calls. It works out cheaper to simply pay mobile call rates, than to pay a monthly line charge for "free" local calling.

I think there have been some mixed comments here lately about Xnet's quality of service, so maybe it would be worth looking for other options? A few people I know use Snap, and they've been quite happy with it: www.snap.net.nz

805085 2009-08-30 02:32:00 Hi Kountryken,

Before you agree to go with xnet fusion, check with them first to see if you are classed as RURAL or URBAN. The cost goes up from $69.95 to $89.95 if Nelson is deemed to be rural like Taupo is.
I am with xnet fusion and earlier this year they started charging me the $20 extra.

805086 2009-08-30 03:31:00 Yes lakewoodlady Xnet told me that the cost will be $69 kountryken (14110)
805087 2009-08-30 08:24:00 Ok, then good luck with that.
Ever since they started charging me for being rural, (I live in the central Taupo area) I've been trying to find an ISP to supply same services as I'm getting now, for a cheaper deal.

Cheers LL
