818765 2009-10-10 00:36:00 So I have seen this mentioned a few time and a couple of people are now on it. Seriously thinking of ditching telstra cable because of their useless data limits, and big time would be saving me about $25 a month.
So a couple of questions, is this plan any good with skype? we use this 4 or 5 times a week.
And youtube or any other video streaming sites?

818766 2009-10-10 01:42:00 Comments seem to vary, but in general it seems fine even during peak hours, so Skype should be fine, youtube should be too, depending on how close you are to the exchange etc Blam (54)
818767 2009-10-10 02:48:00 I reckon. Just bear in mind, that if you change. you're going from a dedicated "cable" connection to one over the 'copper phone line'.
IMO. A retrograde step !

Yeah, I know. i like the performance of cable, but big time seems a good deal. Just been hearing horror stories over in Geekzone.

The price of Big Time is NOT going up (As far as I am aware), it’s for us Go Large users who are switching to Big Time who have to pay more for it. (Their are complaints all over the different forums about this eg: pressf1.co.nz www.gpforums.co.nz & www.geekzone.co.nz)

818772 2009-10-10 23:02:00 Yeah the complaints are of the price of Go Large vs Big Time.

Long story short the extra $10 a month gets them a faster ADSL2+ Service with no cap up upload / download speed.
Suck it up IMO, you've had almost 3 years of the plan since they stopped offering it, consider yourself lucky :p

thanks chill and stu for clarification. As my phone is with telstra clear, telecoms website doesn't reconise it to see if its avaliable.
Does anyone one know if adsl2 is in the hutt?
