Cheers Batwing. That's right - we are having a sale tomorrow for new sign ups. $12 a month off the $75 for 30GB plan (for 12 months), or $12 off the unlimited plan. Makes for a pretty good deal... Tell your friends and family to call 0800 131415 and mention 'twelve' to get the deal. (They will love you for it :)) Cheers, Quentin Reade HEAD OF BRAND AND COMMS ORCON

Nothing else in the email sent out to us from marketing. Mentions specifically only the $75 and $99 plans.

Keen on taking the unlimited plan on this deal, but I do alot of overseas VoIP between 6PM and 10PM, and I am still not sure if the unlimited plan is not going to cause me grief with throttling. Read a few threads here on Orcon unlimited performance and dont feel any wiser either :-( Would have gone for the 60GB if it was on sale. Anybody had enough experience with Orcon unlimited to make a recommendation?

So this is just for new customers only, not for existing customers on older plans who might want to change over?

Pretty good timing for orcon with telecom having a couple of outages. They might pick up a few more customers than they were expecting.

Hi guys, Yes, new customers only. We'll be doing something for all customers soon (hint: free calling weekend to ten countries :)) As for unlimited reviews, I won't offer my biased opinion, but suggest you have a bit of a look on the various forums - certainly seems well received from where i am sitting, and we have several thousand people using it. Cheers again, Quentin Quentin Reade HEAD OF BRAND AND COMMS ORCON

Why not offer current customers the choice to resign for another 12 months and get the deal.... (Which I am pretty sure other ISPs do when they have signup specials) I don't really understand these offers without that option.. sure they bring in customers. but they alienate long term customers

So I am existing Orcon customer, but have no term on my agreement. Call centre says I cannot change to one of the new plans, so I said that is fine, can you please cancel my plan today and I will call back in a few hours and join again in my wife's name. It amazes me they say no I cannot do that, but I dont see why not. Question is, can I be bothered trying.
