| 461428 | 2006-06-08 06:06:00 | 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: Online gaming uses squat relatively speaking. Streaming and video downloading is what uses data caps. 30Gb a month is outrageous, get a life jesse jax. you must be downloading media 24/7, no wonder others get crap bandwidth. YOU are the very reason why, we dont have uncapped services |

| 461429 | 2006-06-08 10:57:00 | ha! funny what the replys were. trying to blame ME for your slow internet wont work, because ONE, i already GET slow internet, theres probably 10 more users around my house etc that download all the time, i only got 60kbps download speed..what i do with my internet is my business, wether its legal or not. telling me to not pirate is a very stupid statment, as 1: you dont know whether i do or not, and 2: im pretty sure 99% of people have at least SOMETHING pirated on there pc, whether it be a song or windows xp, i have the right to be able to use as much internet as i want, if i pay for it, but the rates at what telecom charge are ridiculous...if i wanted to create a file hosting site, imagine how many 10's of thousands of dollars id have to pay a week?...whether or not you agree, there should be unlimited, maybe at a cost, but there definitly should be. |

I am sure there will be, but you will have to pay for it, because the majority of users will not wish to subsidise it in any way. Therefore it will be expensive. |

| 461433 | 2006-06-09 01:49:00 | 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. Its their cable plans not their normal ADSL (over the copper phone lines)./ |

| 461434 | 2006-06-09 02:40:00 | What the hell do you do to get through 30GB per month? 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. This attitude is old school Telecom talking. The fact is you have been getting ripped of and should be getting a larger data cap for what you pay for broadband in NZ. You are NOT subsidising anyone. If you have a larger cap you DO NOT have to use it BUT at least you would have the option. Get with the times the "10 gig is heaps" attitude is dieing fast, not even the NZ government are buying into this propaganda anymore, I am surprised that there are still ignorant people posting crap like this with all that has happened in the last few months. You clearly have NO CLUE as to what the internet is going to be used for in the not so distant future. |

| 461435 | 2006-06-09 02:50:00 | 10GB is currently heaps, I mean what do you use all that data on (at least as a sngle internet user)? Sure it you were sharing the connection with your flatmates friends and neighbours with Wifi, you could easily get through 50GB, but I am sure that would be breaching the ISPs T&Cs anyway I have a few questions: Why isn't Telstras cable internet also being unbundled . It seems to be a superior system and can offer faster speeds now . With WiMAX emerging and becoming more popular in europe, isn't unbundling just a waste of time and old technology, as by the time it comes in, won't it be overtaken by better wireless technology that will be faster than ADSL2+ . PS . poster above, you failed to mention what you would use all this data on now . . . not in the future . . . as noone can predict what is going to happen in the future . . . so that is irrelevant . Saying that 50GB isn't much data must be backed up with an example of, what it isn't enough for . I suppose it is only 10 DVDs, or 2 HDDVD worth of data . |

Hows that for now. Mode3 |

| 461437 | 2006-06-09 03:53:00 | Still you would have to do a lot of that to get through 10s of GBs of data. I do those things too, apart from online gaming. I suppose it comes down to reasonable usge, and user pays, eg. if you use it a lot then you expect to pay for the additional bandwidth. What most people don't realise that in the UK according to BBCs Click, ISPs that state unlimited bandwidth, do actually have datacaps that they are starting to implement, and this is due to bittorrent using up heaps of bandwidth which is gettng very costly for ISPs. I actually wouldn't have though ADSL in NZ would have been very good for online gaming due to the slow upload speeds. |
