| 529554 | 2007-03-02 21:46:00 | Are there any ISP's out there who will let you accumulate your excess monthly broadband usage? If there are I could be interested in changing. At the moment I am with Xtra's 'Explorer plan' (5Gb) and regularly have up to 1Gb left over at the end of the month. Some months I do exceed my limit and are 'punished' for this by having my speed reduced to dial up, even though in my mind they possibly owe me (seeing as how I have already paid for it) many Gigs of left over bandwidth. If I went into a shop where I have a credit to buy an item and was told the credit I left them last month did now not apply - surely that would be classed as theft! What are others opinions, explanations etc on this?? |

"Any unused portion of your monthly data allowance will not be accumulated from billing period to billing period and will not be refunded." On the other hand if you manage to exceed your cap ( I'm 130% now) they don't carryover the speed reduction into the next month. |

They charge $1 for every gb you use (On top of whatever plan you're on) Here's the link: www.xnet.co.nz Just to clarify: They have that option - choose a flexible limit instead of a set limit. Doesn't mean you can't select a plan based on a set limit if you want to. |

Similar to insurance - $500 pa to insure your car. At the end of the year that money is gone, even though you didn't make any claims! And "all-you-can-eat" restaurant - pay $25 and have your meal. "I could have eaten more but had to be back at work" won't get you any refund or free feed the next day! On account phone - $20 per month even if you leave it switched off. I'm sure others can find more examples, but obviously you would be better served by a pay per megabyte plan. |

Sometimes the difference is in the small text. How is that compared between the two(xnet and x...)?? G |

| 529562 | 2007-03-03 18:22:00 | Use xnet. They bill you for whay you use. And you pay after you use it,not before. I've been with them for over a month and so far haven't paid them anything. Waiting for my first bill |

| 529563 | 2007-03-03 21:51:00 | Speed reductions? How primitive . I thought you Xtra people had all you could eat on an unleashed system that was xtraordinary . I'm starting to thing Telstra Clear owe me a fee reduction for pointing out how wonderful cable is . Ah and while we're at it I'd be keen to know how you keep things down to 4 gigs a month? I'm finding my 20 gigs a month limit somewhat oppressive, so I'm hoping Telstra Clear do another double your allowance for nothing scheme soon . |
