| 429501 | 2006-02-12 20:32:00 | uh....The plans are crap. Basic $29.95 200MB 256kbs 128kbs None of them represent value for money. |

| 429502 | 2006-02-12 20:39:00 | 2Mb to 3.5Mb who is going to even notice, advertising ploy. They need to more than double the speed 5-10Mb |

| 429503 | 2006-02-12 20:41:00 | Personally I would like to see them triple the upload speed (at least) and stop trying to pretend that 200mb is worth $30 bucks, or that 1gb is worth $50. Its a scam, and insulting. |

I personally will still look around at the end of my year (June/July) Who would you recommend? (looking for nil connection issues [which from what I hear from some counts out Ihug], low latency; basically no issues) Also: looking for minimum of 20G per month limit, hopefully at 2Mbps, for what Im paying now ($50 per month) or less |

| 429505 | 2006-02-12 20:58:00 | True.. I personally will still look around at the end of my year (June/July)Thats still a long way off, I would wait to see whats being offered then. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 429506 | 2006-02-12 21:05:00 | I was hoping that they would improve the full-speed plan as well but I phoned and they are being very non-committal at this stage. At present I pay $79pm for 2-8 mb download and 5-600 kbs upload speeds with a 1 gig cap for my home business. I've been on that plan since 2000 and have only exceeded the cap once, but it does get tight some months. I am beginning to wonder if I would notice the reduction in speed, and whether it is worth the extra $20 per month. I do a lot of web searching and the extra speed is very helpful, though I do notice major slow-downs when the network is busy. What is the best speed check site to see what I am actually getting as up/down speeds? If I am not getting the full speed benefit, that helps me decide what I do about it. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 429507 | 2006-02-12 21:45:00 | Whipdy-poo! I am going to get upgraded from 2Mbps to 3.5Mbps which I will hardly notice the difference. My upload stays the same, my data cap stays the same and my monthly charge stays the same. Now that's progress for ya! Pass the Tui. |

| 429508 | 2006-02-12 21:53:00 | I agree with you all telecoms new plans are crap and not to mention over priced, the only thing i can say which is good news is that by the beginning of next year telecom are going to upgrade their entire network including roadside cabinets reducing from 700 to 200 roadside cabinet for the whole of nz and also by the time thats all done we will be getting broadband speeds of 24mbps a second its a long way off but im looking forward to it. | technophobia (8565) | ||
| 429509 | 2006-02-12 22:13:00 | I agree, these plans are a waste of time. It costs $20 extra just to get your upload increased to a level they should already be (and then the caps aren't increased). for $70 (incl their tolls) you can get Ihugs 20 GB (+20 GB offpeak) plan and they don't count the uploads, plus they just throttle you back to 64K. Those high end Telecom plans are bringing back the "what the hell is this outrageous bill about situations", when people blow their caps (what Telecon are terming 'overage'). |
