| 861151 | 2010-02-24 02:30:00 | Hi, now i have the PS3 up and running i have been thinking about getting broadband at home. I have been wondering how much data would be a good start ie 5Gb I have read 1 hour of gaming will use around 200mb of data, do you think this is a good average? I will probably only play FPS online TIA |

| 861152 | 2010-02-24 03:46:00 | Heck no! You'll be using around 3-5KB/sec at *most* I'd guess. 5KB/sec * 2-ways = 10KB/sec * 60 seconds in a minute, * 60 minutes in an hour, divide by 1024 = 35MB for an hour of gaming I know that COD:MW2 uses around 2-3 KB/sec when I was checking it at a mates place on his router we'd setup, pretty sure that was a full game, but he wasn't hosting. |

| 861153 | 2010-02-24 20:56:00 | Really, thats awesome I am looking at the cheap slingshot plan 5Gb for 29.95/month cheapest one around at the moment. Any reason not to go with slingshot? Thanks Chill |

| 861154 | 2010-02-25 04:21:00 | Well to be honest I'm not Slingshots biggest fan, for many reasons ... Personally I'd go for Orcon: www.orcon.net.nz The Bronze+ works out at being $25 for 1GB of usage (When you subtract $45 for the included phone line) or the Silver+ is approx $35 for 5GB. Go to www.telecomwholesale.co.nz/maps and enter in your address, then see if it says when your local area gets ADSL2+ or VDSL2 and post back :) |

A pre-qualification check is required to determine what broadband services, if any, are available at this address." EDIT: ADSL2+ Upgrade: Dec 2010 VDSL2 Upgrade: Not yet available |
