594584 2007-09-28 00:05:00 P.S i would recommend that you get the 1c/10mb plan instead of the 10GB plan so that you only pay for what you use :D


There is no such thing as a 10GB plan on Xnet anymore....
You just pay for what you use. (although you can set a self imposed cap of 10GB.)

594585 2007-09-28 00:08:00 Some IPS offer plans of FS up and down with a 5 or 6gb cap for about $50 a month, and you can buy extra bandwidth say like 10gb for $10 if you need it.
:)

you speak of SLingshot there. when they have nDSL up and running i will be assesing their plans and going with them. i think they will be bringing back an unlimited plan as well.

Slingshot's best current plan is FS up/down 6GB cap, but if you need it you can buy an extra 50GB for $40

594586 2007-09-28 04:31:00 I have been with slingshot for 2 years now, and I would not recommend them to you especially if you are a gamer. ronyville (10611)
594587 2007-09-28 05:02:00 I am with Xnet FS down/128 up and self imposed 10GB limit (which I sometimes extend) and I would recommend them to anyone.'

594590 2007-09-30 04:29:00 I FINALLY joined the 21st century on Friday lol..

Rang Xnet last Mon/Tue.

Heard back from Xnet Thur, when it had been activated, got the modem on Thur. Connected Friday.

Downloaded bout 2 GB so far since Friday, and it'll get reset Monday lol.

That'll be like a $2-3 bill for the first bill lol

Was going to go BB with Ihug.

BUT when I heard it was 99 bucks to connect! Well, that was the end of that.

I killed Ihug, and Telecom for the line I had on Friday, saved me a bit of money about $71. That'll go towards Xnet.

Got them to put ADSL on my flatmates line.

I'm on River / 15 GB a mth at the mo. $50 max before I go down in speed.

Doubt I'll get anywhere near this tho, as I'm not in P2P / video conferencing, bittorents, Using Itunes to pay for MP3's etc.

Just the normal updates, a few downloads, browsing / IRC.

594591 2007-09-30 04:43:00 online games are fun and all but all my bandwidth goes to downloading opensource software, and the odd youtube video.

might shop around, as i use on avg, 50GB a month, well did untill downgraded from unlimited to 5gb.

ah well off to compare isp plans

And you didn't tell us? Some of us would like our names added as "recommended by others" so we can get a $50 credit
