416861 2005-12-31 06:39:00 Also have a look at Ihug broadband. wmoore (6009)
416862 2005-12-31 06:50:00 Ihug. I'm on their 'Light" plan which gives me 10GB peak, and 10GB offpeak data at $49.95/month (with tolls). Does all I need, and more, at 2MBit speed - thoroughly recommend them. somebody (208)
416863 2005-12-31 07:12:00 Another vote for IHUG. I am on the 2+2GB plan for $39.95. 2 Mbs is great. linw (53)
416864 2005-12-31 07:21:00 Left Orcon for Ihug...

Ihug 20 GB + 20 GB plan..

416865 2005-12-31 07:38:00 Not Telescum, Oops I mean Telecom :p .

Cap is low 10Gb max :groan: , DL speed is good (2M) :), UL speed is disasterous (128K) another :groan:

Also the pricing is rather high, the best thing about Telecom is the fast DL speed but then other companies have this speed.

So I do NOT recommend Telecom

416867 2005-12-31 21:44:00 Joe thats America, NZ doesn't have that sort of speed :groan: so if you don't mind, please don't taunt us here :p The_End_Of_Reality (334)
416868 2005-12-31 22:06:00 One more vote for IHUG.....Absolutely great service provider.
I get approx 1.5 Mbps DOWN (semi-rural location)and approx 450Kbps UP (even though they claim the UP speed is 128Kbps)
Best of all I relish NOT having to deal with the the most rapacious company in NZ....Telecom. :2cents:
