But I cannot do it now. That line was supposed to be "I have BB now and this does not apply to me". If you want you can pop this in with your post ;-)	Nomad (952)

487479	2006-09-26 07:44:00	And which one of the many decisions are you talking about?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
487480	2006-09-26 07:44:00	As for the full speed thing, my speed is rubbish now and more likely to get worse not better. As for caps, I've never used more than 8Gb in a month so I don't care. Did ask a friend as his biggest moan was the caps, not speed and he still says no, because of the price.	pctek (84)

No caps is great, along with the prioritising "fair use" policy, aslong as it's used as detailed and not to just limit the cost xtra has to put into transfering my data. As for the cost. Meh. It's not that terrible. Compare www.bt.com %3dbroadband_from_bt&obsType=LINK&obsOID=89065&targetSection=prod_page_2000_E&presalesProduct=2000_E which works out to be about $50 NZD, and theyre pratically the same plans without all the "free" junk like video calls. My only complaint is that we're still stuck with the same old upload speeds.	imarubberducky (7230)

At the moment, i'm seriously considering upgrading from a 40GB/month cap to the 80GB/month plan. And hey, 10Mb/sec down & 2Mb/sec up is pretty fine for us! Mind you, telecom can do what it likes, we are on Telstra-cable.	personthingy (1670)
