For non contract I lose those $200 incentives. I could get a contract and if I change or just cancel I can fork out the penalty fee, least I saved the $100 connection fee and keep $100 modem (or modem upgrade offer if available). Would you consider like a cheaper plan of say 1GB and once that's used up just resort back to modem speed? It would be the no worst than dialup I gather but free's up the phoneline. I can just be more careful what I use, if I need to do downloads I do it at the start of the billing cycle. Does this make sense? Thanks.	Nomad (952)
497916	2006-11-10 08:01:00	What? Once you get used to broadband its rather a pain being slowed if you go over your limit, and often the speed is worse than dialup when they do that. SO no, I wouldn' consider a small adat limit. As for contracts and free adsl modems, you thinking of joining Xtra? Up to you really.....	pctek (84)
497917	2006-11-10 09:41:00	Not Xtra but many ISPs provide free connection and modem, with plans of say 1GB or 2GB, I am not really interested in the traffic managed plans or any plans at $50, pref lesser.	Nomad (952)
497918	2006-11-10 19:19:00	Yeah why not then	pctek (84)
497919	2006-11-10 22:00:00	What about if you already have a broadband connection and modem? I queried Impulse and they want $25 just to transfer you from current ISP to them. What do xtra and the others do if you don't want their modem and you already have a connection. Do any of them offering "free", give you a credit ?	JJJJJ (528)
