sbiddle:ImHighAs:MikeHales: I don't understand why you would expect a knee jerk reaction on data allowances. Do you use all of your allowance or is it the perceived value of I pay x and get y?
All im saying is that they could have let their customers know that they're working on something. At the moment we've had nothing. Literally.
The average NZ user is still using somewhere in the vicinity of ~15GB per month. The average US user is still only using close to double that with their "unlimited" plans, which are in effect 250GB caps anyway.
Those on here that think that everybody wants and needs a 500GB cap need to realise they're in the 1% minority, they are not an average user.
I would strongly disagree with the above post .. average .. where/what is the measure ?
americans are dumping data with starting sizes of 9GB (average 22gb check torrent sites )... the content of such data i wont discuss but needless to say it is still *very* popular. I have never heard of these caps in America .. but I did here they were liking the NZ model ..more likely propaganda to calm the masses after Stephen Frys insightful comment.
I also think those on here in truth would rather have *NO* caps because they really suck.
Those on here that think only 1% needs a 500GB cap need to catch up with the amount of streaming digital media .. and its only going to get worse .. advertising hasn't even kicked into full gear on all this yet.
Others that think vodafone is slow .. my previous ISP xnet still hasn't changed there pricing since last year .. and its pretty expensive for a simple naked dsl account.
