| 461418 | 2006-06-07 12:23:00 | well, they are saying ''FASTER INTERNET, FASTER INTERNET!!'' and thats great, although, i need more bandwidth, i go to at least 30gb each month...i still got a few weeks to go right now and im at 30gbs so yeah, im wanting to know if we will have unlimited internet once its ''unbundled'' as this would be awesome for mass downloaders like me. thx | jesse_jax (9283) | ||
| 461419 | 2006-06-07 12:36:00 | I think you will find even ** when ** NZ unbundled There may be a time when ISP's offer unlimited downloads, but as we all know unlimited downloads don’t last for long, Take a look at orcon or slingshot & what happened with them, so I think the same will happen after NZ unbundleds, but the ISPs will go back to caps, maybe bigger then what we have now i.e. 10 GB etc… but NZ will all ways have caps. I have to ask how do you move 30 GB/month???!! |

| 461421 | 2006-06-07 22:25:00 | I am sure "unlimited" will be available, but you will have to pay for it. As bandwidth in to the country is expensive, and faster connections will use more of it at peak times, I expect the cost of unlimited to be very high. I get by easily on 1 - 1.5 GB per month of my 5 GB allowance, so it will not be an issue for me and many other similar people, but I would object if I had to subsidise the "bandwidth hogs", as would all the other moderate users. |

I am quite a heavy user and only get through 8GB per month. That is viewing lots of streaming programs, downloading lots of trial software etc, video skype calls etc. I am just wondering why I should be expected to subsidise high bandwidth users such as yourself. If you use the data then you should be expected to pay for it. I am sick of these people who think they should be getting as much as they can eat for next to nothing. Bandwidth is expensive ands someone has to pay for it. User pays, and your average user probably uses less than 2GB per month. |

| 461424 | 2006-06-08 04:51:00 | This is what I was on before I came to new zealand, www.telewest.co.uk And before any one goes on about sharing cables with everyone else and speed dips, yes we did but only telewest cables as they have there own network and all underground, and my connection was always full speed and that was in the heart of edinburgh. Now I am on 2mb (when I'm lucky at 4am) and with a 10gb cap :( I could cry sometimes........oh well. Mode3 |

| 461425 | 2006-06-08 04:59:00 | . your average user probably uses less than 2GB per month. I know lot of people are into online gaming, a few game demo downloads, and the bandwith needed for online play and two gig a month is nothing. :2cents: |

| 461426 | 2006-06-08 05:35:00 | I like caps and then slowdowns. But maybe graduated slowdowns. up to 10%. No slowdown - Sorry I just needed that extra file. :D 10% over. 25% slowdown 25% over. 50% slowdown 50% over. 75% slowdown 100%+ over. dialup speed ... You data hog |

| 461427 | 2006-06-08 05:58:00 | How is it that telstraclear can have a 10mbps a second download and yet we are told by all media that their is no faster internet in the country as 3.5mbps is the fastest we are told. So how does telstraclear come up with a plan like this at this speed. LightSpeed 40G 40G of monthly traffic 10 Mbps downstream / 2 Mbps upstream Choose your ISP - paradise.net or clear.net Free helpdesk support 2G additional usage packs charged at $2.95 per month per pack |
