Well I pay $49.95 for 256/128 to Orcon and this is uncapped.

Must admit that I am not sure if this deal is still available.

They don't allow any new signups or transfers to the unlimited plan. I'm on it & there has been nothing wrong with it for online gaming for ages.

I could be wrong here, but I don’t think such a thing exists now days as the ISP finds out very quickly that all there bandwidth goes bye bye, due to all the heavy bandwidth users move over to them….

(That’s why I say those ISPS that offer unlimited broardband plans don’t last long)

Have a look at ihug plans as I think they have a good bandwidth cap.

Hope this helps :)

422173 2006-01-19 04:44:00 I also believe it no longer exists as it was a money looser after Telecom put a 10gig per user limit (after that charge) to the actual ISP's.

Best bet is to spring a little more and go Ihug 40gig for $69 at 2MB speed. To me there is not a great difference between $50 and $69 ovre a month, and if you can't stay under 40 gig, it is highly likely you are downloading just for the sake of downloading, of course the speed is a crap load better than 256 also :)
