| 494102 | 2006-10-26 03:35:00 | I changed mine this morning and it's already on Go Large. Check your broadband usage to check. It may very well have changed. | Fishy (10540) | ||
| 494103 | 2006-10-26 03:51:00 | Personally after last year's 3.5MBit "upgrade" I have no expectations whatsoever, the more it increases the better but I am most certainly not expecting 7.6MBit. At least up until last week I was connected at around 3800Kbps now I seem to be connecting at 2112Kbps - not that it makes that much difference as I don't get much more than 0.5MBit in the evenings anyway, but all the same it's a bit of a worry considering we are supposed to be being unleashed, not tied up. :p Does anyone know what the status is with Natcom's WiMax trials? I see Slingshot has some very appealing WiMax (www.slingshot.co.nz) plans for Whangarei. Hopefully there will be a bit of WiMax competition next year. :thumbs: |

No offpeak.. and less data for your money. Argh Do they automatically switch users to the new plans, or can you stay on the original plan you purhased. Xtra plans still look to be the best as their offer unlimited for $50 |

| 494107 | 2006-10-26 04:39:00 | I filled in the form to make the change at about 1pm today and got the auto response that it would take 2 days. Just checked to see how much of my cap was left so i could finish it off and lo and behold I have already been switched :eek: Doesnt make any diff to my speed because of my location but its still fast enough to do serious damage to any cap so I think I'm a happy camper at present :thumbs: Of course time will tell. |

Xtra plans still look to be the best as their offer unlimited for $50 Existing customers on Ihug will keep their current plans, unless they want to downgrade to a worse plan for the same price *sigh* While talking to the helpdesk guy, i asked whether they will have any new plans that will offer better data. "I dont know" Well thats that. Im still itching for better data / speed.. I can only hope that happens soon next year. |
