| 875339 | 2010-04-12 06:21:00 | I'm about to switch to Xnet. $69.95 for unlimited up/down and VOIP using my current phone number. Then it's $1 for every GB you use, with no limit. WAY better than my current deal with Telstra. Savings of ~$70/month make me happy. Upwards of 10Mb/s make me pretty happy too.Assuming you currently have a TelstraClear cable connection (you mentioned earlier that you were in Wellington), going to Xnet is a *big* step backwards, and you'll most likely regret it. Yes, cable is expensive, but it's also head and shoulders above every other option available (except fibre). Note that there's nothing stopping you moving your phone number only and staying with TelstraClear for your broadband - I personally use 2talk as my phone provider and TelstraClear for broadband. That should still save you a decent chunk of cash without compromising the quality of your internet connection. |

| 875340 | 2010-04-12 23:23:00 | Any reason you want a AKL ISP? Well arn't most in AKL? :D All ISPs does ADSL2 provided whoever does the phonelines these days have upgraded yours . We're still waiting for ours . If you go on a FS/FS plan, it is ADSL2+ if your line supports it . Unfortunately that's not true: http://www . internetchoice . co . nz/ You can see clearly that although some are advertised as "FS Up / FS Down", they're still only ADSL1 plans . Buyer beware, do your research . |

Buyer beware, do your research. I think that website is way out of date. Slingshot are not showing any ADSL2 plans when clearly they do have. The 8000/1000 plans showing as ADSL are clearly full speed plans but probably were for those not on ADSL2 enabled exchanges and Slingshot don't currently advertise those speeds. If you have a full speed down and up plan you will get ADSL2 if you are on an ADSL2 enabled exchange and you have an ADSL2 modem I would suggest that people rely on the information on the ISPs website rather then going to sites such as internetchoice.co.nz which don't always have reliable updated information about ISP plans which are always being reviewed and changed. |

| 875342 | 2010-04-13 03:48:00 | Yes, I would rely on the information from the ISP website personally also. As far as I know Maxnet still only offer ADSL1 plans? Am I mistaken? |

| 875345 | 2010-04-13 06:58:00 | What's the point of 1 GB per month. MS updates will use that! | cybernerd (12461) | ||
| 875346 | 2010-04-13 09:19:00 | What's the point of 1 GB per month. MS updates will use that! Not when you have installed windows before and applied those monster files :) I'm on 3GB. |
