Hi guys,

Im currently on Orcon silver with an extra 25GB datapack (total of 30GB). Im looking to get more data as I see that they have increased their price from $1/GB to $2. These are the plans Ive looked at (no contract with orcon as Ive been with them for years). Do you think I should just upgrade to the 50GB plan or go with one of thes others? I live in St johns, Auckland.

Cheers

I'm not going to suggest which option you go with, but Slingshot's extra data packs last for a year, not a month, so you could spend $50 on a 50GB pack instead of 2x20 and use 25gb each month for two months (also gives you some flexibility so you don't have to use the same amount each month).

It's worth me mentioning that speeds on Slingshot are far from great.
