611183 2007-11-13 08:22:00 Well, as speed and support i cant say yet but few things let me down:

1. The "user control panel" sux big time, ihug has way better one.
2. Only 1 email address !!!! ihug has 10 !!!
3. cant find much info about the phone ect. as phone line with orcon aswell, again much detailed at ihug.

other than that, speed seems great.

so is it really 1 email ? or i missed something ?
no way of checkin full phone transactions/calls at the control panel ?

611185 2007-11-13 08:34:00 Why do you need a email address from an ISP.
Just get one from yahoo, google, hotmail

Well how much data cap does Yahoo and Google Mail use? Not very much at all. I'm on a 5GB plan and I'm not worried at all with about 5 Gmail and 4 Hotmail and no ISP webmail.

611189 2007-11-13 17:05:00 You have one main account (parent) which has its own address. Then you have other aliases (child) accounts(i.e I have the main parent address, but SWMBO is using one of the child accounts). I only get the email addressed to me, and she gets her own email :)
I think you can have 5 aliases (child accounts)

You've misunderstood I think

611190 2007-11-13 18:38:00 Yep, my Orcon account has 5 emails, you also can sign up for a xxxx@orcon.net.nz addy for free, seperate of an account. Last time I looked anyway... wratterus (105)
611191 2007-11-13 20:02:00 2. Only 1 email address !!!! ihug has 10 !!!

so is it really 1 email ? or i missed something ?


You are missing something. Orcon offer free lifetime email addresses. They are not tied to your paid account either, so if you change ISPs in the future you get to keep your email address. Do a search on their site.
