Definitely went through a rough patch for a while but iHug pulled through an now the Broadband3 plan is awesome!

Get max download speeds frequently, bittorrent isnt an issue, frequently do 40+GB a month. Only thing is I never phone the Helpdesk, Ive heard its a mission ;)

Everything that I use gets a 10/10, in terms of speed, reliability, plan pricing, data allowance, application / port throttling!

555851 2007-06-06 01:08:00 Not much use though if they don't anymore, $50 would get me 10GB, less than I can get with xtra..

Only reason would be for portibility, though I don't need that so really there's no point

Bollocks. For $50 with Xtra you get 5GB.

555852 2007-06-06 01:17:00 I was lucky enough to switch to Go Large a month before they stopped new subscriptions, so the only cap I have is my phone line which went downhill after they 'unleashed' everyone Agent_24 (57)
555853 2007-06-06 01:20:00 Not much use though if they don't offer it any more roddy_boy (4115)
555854 2007-06-06 01:43:00 Not for anyone who doesn't have it, but It's of quite a lot of use to me :D Agent_24 (57)
555855 2007-06-06 06:37:00 i was on Slingshot for one year for the sake of the contract. It pissed me off so much. I was on unlimited plan which not there anymore. I didn't use to have internet during morning thats like around 5am-12pm which pissed me off like hell. I rang Slingshot and was waiting on the line for like 20mins no answering. Suffered for 12 months and now im happily in Unlimited plan with woosh. Great success!!!:thumbs: charithrac (2979)

555858 2007-06-06 09:19:00 Mine is Slingshot for just on a year. but lately i find after 7pm I drop from 4Mb to a mere 130 - 630 kbs.

Is this normal???

It pisses me off because it will stay like that until about 5am.


Next provider please...

555859 2007-06-06 13:29:00 30 calls @ $2.35/call = $70.50 (less if it was off peak). Did the $113 bill include your internet charges as well?

Skype is cheaper, no arguments there.



Nope.Broadband was 101GB something like $140

I rung during peak hours too
