I am currently with Telecom. I am on the Total Home (Explorer) package but need a much bigger data allowance than Pro Broadband (40 GB). I was with Orcon but switched after upgrading to Orcon+ resulted in more than 20 disconnects a day! It seems that Orcon+ is no longer available in my area - go figure! I am open to switching back to Orcon (Traditional plans) as they are one of the few with 60 GB upgrades but performance is a major consideration. Any ideas?
I find myself in the same position as you are. Telecom is great, but 40gb is not enough. Once over 40gb the overage is a killer.
Do you want to pay extra $30 for 20GB to upgrade to Telecom Business advanced plan (60GB)?
But if you look at it this way, $20 for the extra 20GB u pay ($3 per GB thereafter) plus $10 extra you pay for the great speed of telecom :)
of course the downside is 24months contract (but penalty is less, only 130 something, not 199 as residential customers). But your call to helpdesk will be prioritised.
I would if i knew that I will stay in NZ for 2 years at least (24 months contract)
oh just a side note, i have not heard Total home package can include telecom business plans. You might not be able to get total home if you want business plans
I tried everything, they even sent me a new modem. I would get disconnected while streaming YouTube! Nothing showed up when the lines were tested. The fact that Orcon+ is no longer available in my area indicates that they may have been a bit over zealous in the initial promotion. I haven't had any problems since switching to Telecom. I need at least 60 GBs though, so Telecom is no longer viable.
Disroy: I would get disconnected while streaming YouTube!
I watch YouTube video clips fairly regularly, and have never been disconnected whilst doing so.
In fact, very poor YouTube performance was the main reason I left Xnet for Snap. During the past 7 months, Snap has consistently delivered the goods in terms of performance and pricing.
On one occasion a month or so back, my son decided he wanted to download a 10GB game development package via BitTorrent. We added 10GB extra data to our account via the on-line portal and he had the complete package by next morning, taking about 9 hours. The alternative was to buy a DVD at about the same price and wait for it to be shipped from the US.
From what you have said about your data requirements, I am sure you won't be disappointed if you choose Snap. Ralph, one of Snap's senior staff, posts in these forums every so often. If you have any questions, send him a PM, I'm sure he'll be glad to help.
