| 483082 | 2006-09-09 03:26:00 | 200MB? This will get used up in half an hour time for me, I does not recomment that plan to you or you kill the bill at the end of the month. Go for at least 5GB minimum for a month. REASONABLE? That's my minimum usage in a month. Only for web pages and small downloads. | PedalSlammer (8511) | ||
| 483083 | 2006-09-09 04:17:00 | Thanks a lot guys, you’ve saved my bacon. :thumbs: It looks like Slingshot may be best for me. (I don’t feel guilty transferring my tolls away from Telecom.) ;) For those viewing who may also be looking at Broadband I worked out that Telecom’s generous offer of 200meg for $29.95 actually works out at $45.95 for 1gig or $85.95 for 3 gigs when they already have my toll account! On the other hand Slingshot will give me 3 gig’s for $29.95 if I transfer my tolls. I think I’ll shout myself a few beers with the $56 I can save. ;) Further, it seems that Clear-net have just matched Telecom so they can get lost too. :groan: |

| 483084 | 2006-09-09 05:16:00 | Just another thing with Slingshot tolls, if a family member or friend is also with Slingshot Tolls you can talk for 200 minutes free per month to that member, that is the advantage over "Telegone" Anytime Plan | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 483085 | 2006-09-09 06:52:00 | Thanks for that Lawrence . I do have a concern though . :annoyed: I can't find the downside of Slingshot!!! :confused: It can't be that good can it?????? :lol: |

| 483087 | 2006-09-09 21:33:00 | Their helpdesk is a bit lacklustre. IMO. Couldn't possibly be worse than Xtra's surely? :rolleyes: |

And the email help response is also OK. When I informed Slingshot managment of a PF1 thread complaining about Slingshot, they replied with a post right here on PF1 and helped the person having the problem - AND - they credited my account with $10 along with a nice 'thank you' email. No ISP is without problems, but from what I have experienced myself, and read here on PF1, Slingshot is OK. And as you know, the price is right: 3 Gb for $30. Awhile back when I saw CEO Annette Presley on telly, with her awful makeup and bimbo blonde hair and annoying personality, I decided never to join Slingshot, and here ai am, a happy customer. ;) :p |
