432111 2006-02-19 08:41:00 Done a bit of searching & a lot of the threads have reccomendations from gamers etc. who want high caps & fast speeds. My 3 years free dial up has just run out & If it's just a matter of $5-$10 more to get broadband I'll make the jump.

I see slingshot have broadband for $29.95 a month, Otherwise there seem to be a few at $39.95 a month. I only browse forums & email.........would like to start downloading some MP3's aain but mainly light use.

Anyone have any recommendations??

Cheers

You will not get broadband for $5-$10 more then what you were paying for your dialup($0)

432115 2006-02-19 10:26:00 I think what KiwiMR2 wants is broadband that costs $5-$10 more than what the dialup was, if it was not free...

obviously you need to know how much you'd have been paying if it wasn't free.

432116 2006-02-19 18:17:00 Since the free dialup has ended I've benn automaticly put on $24.95 unlimited dial up a month, so up to $30-$35 a month is what Im happy to pay.

432117 2006-02-19 21:34:00 Slingshot has $10 flatrate dialup if you move your tolls over, Clear Net has dialup for $13 (150hr).

Depends what you want to do with it. $30 is the mark you will be aimin at but the speed and cap is smaller than the $60 or $80 packpages. Certainly you would have a 128k upload speed and a small cap.

Ok so Slingshot's broadband is $29 . 95 (cheapest I can find), Im only browsing forums & e-mailing so Im not fussed with caps & speed as long as it is quicker than dial up (gotta get something for my extra $5 a month ;) )

$29 . 95 Slingshot ( . slingshot . co . nz/DesktopDefault . aspx?tabindex=999&tabid=11&subnav=18" target="_blank">www . slingshot . co . nz)

Ahhhhhhhh . . . . . I see, this "tolls" thing as well :(

I just want broadband, none of the tolls crap, It's still so god damn expensive here in NZ :mad:

432119 2006-02-19 22:36:00 If you don't make toll calls you may as well sign up for their tolls. I costs you nothing. joshjnz (7844)

For Slingshot direct dial tolls customers with a minimum $10 tolls spend*
