Just found out today the business where I work (in Wellington) was being charged about $485 a month for ADSL connection (5GB limit with $0.02 per MB excess charge). We've been on this plan since 2002.
When we looked at the current deals, albiet new plans, we could get a 10GB, 3.5Mbit plan for $71. Our boss contacted Telecom and asked what's the story, as whenever plans change or deals come out, usually people are either informed or automatically switched to a comparable plan. The guy said that we were on a 'fast' plan that is no longer offered and obviously didn't contact us to change. Is upstream 608, downstream 4288 kbit/s fast ??!! WTF! Maybe the upload is a little on the fast side but not $400+ faster.... download isn't that great :P
We're changing over to the $71 plan in a 'couple of days' the email said. Check your plans, or get those in your company to check.... be interesting to see how 'isolated' this is >:(
