| 389402 | 2005-09-19 08:24:00 | Xtra, for example, offer two 2Mb/s adsl plans with max bandwidth of 10gigs per month. Both for $70 per month. Plan 1 downgrades the speed after the 10gigs has been reached, with no further charges. Plan 2 charges 2c per MB after the 10gigs has been reached. Can anyone comment on the overall performance of these two, given that I'd never go over the 10gig bandwidth. I kinda doubt there'd be any difference, but maybe...? |

| 389403 | 2005-09-19 08:43:00 | There shouldn't be any difference if you don't go over the cap, but I would recommend going for the option where they slow you down. | bob05 (8721) | ||

| 389405 | 2005-09-19 09:23:00 | Have you considered ORCON (www.orcon.net.nz) at all? Advert I have just read tonight 2Mbps 1GB with Orcon tolls $39.95 monthly, $49.95 without Orcon tolls Now here's the appealing bit $10 for each additional 10GB or part thereof used during the month, with email alerts to update on your current usage. Therefore doing the sums for you that equals $49.95 with tolls or $59.95 which has to be better than what Telecom is offering and no chance of having your line speed capped. Reading the small print, free install and modem offer expire 20 October 2005, 12 month minimum contract, $150 early diconnection fee, $9.95 postage & handling charge applies to the free modem. Yada Yada Yada |

| 389407 | 2005-09-20 07:27:00 | I think you would find http://inspire.net.nz being well priced in this range, but I'm uncertain about the traffic limit and whether they have one that suits you, I was considering them when looking at 2mbps, but haven't gotten round to it as I wanted to make sure their transfer to another ISP wasn't going to cost me the same as getting my line reconnect, which I've just noticed they've dropped the costs. I'm wondering if TelstraClear is good, mean, I'm not sure how many customers TelstraClear has compared to Telecom, but it might be better service wise due to that fact. That's if you're willing to switch your phone account though (would that benefit in the long run?). Cheers, KK |
