Predated: I'll make you a deal, you increase the population of NZ to 80 million, move Australia as close to NZ as Europe is to the UK and increase the population of Australia to 350 million and I'll start a company offering those prices

BinaryLimited: Not sure about the sky channels, when i was in the uk a few years ago,it was a lot of different channels.

5 pounds = $9.95NZD for unlimited internet....is there a dsl provider in nz that has true unlimited internet...or even ""nz unlimited" for $50-$60nzd?

?

Inphinity: It looks to me like you need to add Sky Line Rental for 'from' GBP14.50, too, so ~GBP20/month which is ~NZ$40/month. And once the intro deal is over its about NZ$50 (or $70 for the higher speed). Still cheap, sure, but only for the relative data cap (or lack thereof), which is an ongoing issue in a small isolated island village.

Nope, but then neither is there one in the UK, since if you read the small print you also have to buy a sky landline 'from $14.50', and also note the 5 pounds is a promotional offer and the price for the broadband doubles to 10 pounds after 12 months. So the 'true' price is 25 quid, or about $50, not $10 as you imply in your post. ISPs Yes, thats' still cheaper than the cheapest unlimited plan - which I think is Flip at $85, but the difference is not as large as you make out.Most, if not all, of that difference can be explained by the different, and much higher, regulated input prices ISPs pay here compared to the UK.  Whether the regulated prices should be lower here is debatable (and is currently being debated!)

BinaryLimited: 
yeah data cap is a big deal and hoepfeully there's a way for the providers to eliminate that cap, my last xnet bill was $450, almost choked when i saw it.

Found your problem.

BinaryLimited:

+5 for that!

TwoSeven: I think BT have a similar deal on as well with national wifi, and I think a relative in japan has mentioned it is common there.

Those countries that are cheap now tend to be the ones that got on the UFB bandwagon some time back.

On a more helpful note, though, I hope you've considered changing ISP if you're seriously using enoguh data to get $450 bills with xnet. I'm sure you could drop that bill drastically with Snap, Telecom, Orcon etc ;) But, that's getting a bit off-topic for this thread, so I'll stop there, hehe.
