576828 2007-08-08 01:05:00 That plan looks pretty good, max download speeds, 128 upload. and no datalimit for $49.99.
I am very seriously changing ISP's now.

After the whole Xtra Go Large debacle, I'm staying clear from any plans that promise "unlimited" downloads.

ICONZ (www.iconz.co.nz) seems to be quite popular with gamers. I frequent their BF2 servers quite often and I get better pings on them than I do on the Xtra servers. They are charging $49.95 for a FS UP/128K Down plan with 10GB which is better than Xtra's Explorer plan. Anyone here with Iconz? Thoughts or opinions?

576830 2007-08-08 14:58:00 True, though i don't know if i could limit myself to 10GB a month, i usually go through 10+ gb a week :( .
Why can't we just get half decent internet like this (www.thelocal.se) only 40 gigabits per second! not fair :mad: lol

576832 2007-08-08 21:56:00 Lol pr0n is hardly the problem. I read somewhere that in the US, 75% of their internet traffic is from the Bittorrent network alone.

I'm guessing in NZ the main problem would be the idiots spending a whole day watching useless, pointless rubbish on YouTube.
