| 491606 | 2006-10-15 04:51:00 | Just arrived from Telecom . . . . . . . . . . I'm ready and waiting . . . . . . Get ready Scouse Xtra Broadband is about to be unleashed! Hi Scouse, Here's some fantastic news: from October 26, Xtra's broadband plans will be moving to maximum downstream speed . That means on all of our broadband plans, the downstream connection will run as fast as your phone line allows . You won't pay any more for this new feature and there's nothing you need to do . We'll make the changes automatically after October 26 . We're also launching two great new broadband plans that'll knock your socks off! From just $10 more a month, here's what you could get: The new Go Large plan offers maximum downstream speeds and unlimited data usage . It's great for households that use the Internet in different ways and it's the best plan to keep everyone happy . No need to worry about your usage, you can keep surfing and emailing at broadband speeds . Or, our Go Express plan offers maximum downstream and faster upstream connection speeds as well . It's ideal if you are an Internet user who is short on time and wants to upload photos, surf the web and email super fast . For full details on the new plans and what the speed changes mean for you, check out xtraplans . co . nz In the meantime, hang on and get ready for maximum speed! Kind regards The Team @ Xtra |

| 491608 | 2006-10-15 07:51:00 | Telecom are definitely selling their plans up. I got a similar e-mail this morning, but because I am already on the Adventure plan they obviously weren't going to say "Hey- we have a great new Go Large plan that will give you max speed and unlimited d/load... for $10.00 less a month" Instead they said I will be automaticly switched to the 'New Adventure plan'... oooh let's see, for the same amount I pay now I can have max/128 with a 10gig limit. Gee, which one would you choose???? Why in god's name can't they just front up and say, "look- this new plan is better and cheaper. We will shift you automaticly to it, or you can choose the plan you want." |

My neighbour (still with Xtra on their 3 . 5Mbps plan) got this exciting announcement too . What a pity she is only able to get around 600kbps, just like the rest of Wyndham exchange users . But of course, thats exactly what Telecom is saying isn't it . |

| 491611 | 2006-10-15 17:42:00 | The bugger of it all is that I'm going to have to pay twenty bucks extra for much the same thing I already have just to get the 512kb/s upload speed. :groan: | Greg (193) | ||
| 491612 | 2006-10-15 18:54:00 | What are you doing wrong? The Avonhead users in a similar position managed to get a result. www.stuff.co.nz Because they live in a big city with competition from Telstra available? Whereas we are in a teeney little town near nothing important. Telecom said the "speed is acceptable." I emailed everyone including the Commerce Commission. Tired of fighting now.... |
