| 497460 | 2006-11-08 03:48:00 | Hi, What is a good modem and what to look for? Any suggestions of a good ISP? What I want to look for is Max/128k with a modest data amount, then to dialup speed. I don't want to keep paying even if they have overage or per 5GB per overs. If a non Telecom ISP has fair use mgmt policy, I can take its the same/similar to Telecom's policy? If a house has 5 phones. Can a person use 5 line filters? Or is a line wire required? This Telecom does for $150 right? To get it all working what it the time to exepct? Thanks. |

If a non Telecom ISP has fair use mgmt policy, I can take its the same/similar to Telecom's policy? I think so, but if I was you I would read there’s to make sure :) |

| 497464 | 2006-11-08 04:17:00 | Umm.. not really. B/c I can use mail forward to my new ISP and download it there for free. :D I used to do this at uni when I had RJ-45 BB in my bedroom. I don't call this BB at all :) I will have a look of Telstraclear and see their offerings. Their cable modems a bit on the expensive side though. |

| 497465 | 2006-11-08 04:39:00 | I paid for my own modem through Dick Smith, cos we wanted two computers on broadband, and with a 2.0mb up and 128 down, we have a 10 gig limit, and cuts back if you get to that, instead of getting a new bigger bill. No contracts, and no having to change tolls. We got that for $42.95, through Xnet www.xnet.co.nz And I have no complaints with the service. Have been connected with them for 4 months. The plans have most likely changed a little, but it is worth looking at. |

| 497466 | 2006-11-08 04:55:00 | Would a subscription still be worth it? I mean the $100 connection fee and the $100 modem fee. If a person didn't do the subscription, is the wire fee $150 and the connection $100 require too? A total of $250? Edit. We have 5 phones hence the rewire fee. |
