They will drop it all together anway when ADSL2+ comes out. Like they would offer unlimited 17mbps let alone the current shocking speed.

511517 2007-01-03 22:15:00 Tony? He's the guy who also replied to my email. Maybe he's the only one hired lol? :p

Anyway, this is one he's got to say:

'There is a need to manage the traffic, as if we did not, the P2P users would absorb massive bandwidth, leaving it poor for the vast majority of users. We have a big pipe, big enough for our demands, but adding more and more cars to the highway will cause a slowdown in cars as it can for data.'

Well, why did they make go large in the first place? idiots.

I wouldn't say I'm bad but simply want a decent cap for $50. 2GB FS/FS wont get me anywhere and I refuse to pay more.


Well, why did they make go large in the first place? idiots.

To get out of customer demand for faster higher cap internet.

But hey have a look at this:

Bigpond Australia 256/64kbps 12GB Bandwidth for $59.95AUD = $67.05NZD

I would say we are lucky :D

511519 2007-01-03 23:32:00 Since they have limited p2p speeds, they should at least remove the cap completely. Can someone confirm that the 700mb cap is off? msnforum (11610)
511520 2007-01-03 23:42:00 This is complete bullsh!t I would much rather have 700mb cap than them having at their descretion. Now they can move anyone to the naughty pool at their wim. Commerce commision needs to hurry up and get it unlimited or tell them to change the plan. Fishy (10540)
