842902 2009-12-25 00:57:00 Im with telecom and i really am hating it now, getting capped like crazy and the other plans don't suit me. I want to try a new company but don't know anyone that has used another one. I currently live in CBD, auckland. Anyone got any suggested companies and plans which suits me.
Im currently on Big Time with xtra broadband.

Well, whichever ISP you switch to it's going to be quite similar. Don't have high expectation from any of them. And, more likely, you will find that they are the same or even worst than what you are having right now.

This is New Zealand, live with it, sadly.

842905 2009-12-25 03:42:00 I’ve tried Telecom & Clear and they don’t compare with Kinect (Trustpower) if they’re available in your area.

The speeds are what they say or better, there’s no spam and any bandwidth you’ve got left over at the end of the month they roll over to the next month. If you exceed your allocation you can top up immediately and their help line is manned by people who speak English as a first language.

Personally, I can’t fault them.

Here’s their site to see if they’re available in your area. http://www.kinect.co.nz/

It's a great feature because I spend a lot of time in Aus but when I come home I have all this accumulated bandwidth.

It should be compulsory for all ISP's to roll over unused bandwidth given that you've paid for it. I'll bet what they've stolen off you they've sold to someone else. :lol:

842910 2009-12-25 08:48:00 While I'm here, I had a look at XBox Live movies... was stunned at the speed at which things were up and running. Admittedly just previews.
But made Youtube look silly, based on speed and quality.
You'd need an uncapped data plan though... and for Microsoft to add more than a handful of reasonable releases.

Hows that even related?

However anyone got a good plan suggestion?

842911 2009-12-25 09:04:00 I've tried xtra, slingshot & vodafone.
I find all are very similar.
Good speed on the speedtest, but slow down to snails on a download.
Ocationally get a good burst but not very often.
