Now that Telecom has cancelled its unlimited plan, there must be many hundreds of people looking for a new ISP.
Where are you guys heading to ?
Who is offering the next best thing for about the same price.
For me personally 60 GB circa per month was about all I was using.

Slingshot has some nice offerings, with their free data periods.
The Pro plan is there best offer with 25GB of anytime data and a connect speed of FS/FS and free data between 2am - 8am $50 with homeline or $60 if you have your homeline with another provider.

I have an older Fs/128k plan with 6 hours of free data and can easy get at least 70GB a month and generally find that I run out of things to download. Some FS/FS user can get 100-300GB of freedata a month.

General speeds are really good, Slingshot has a large web cache and also a torrent caching system. They also have a Steam server that is proving fast and popular.

There website and helpdesk are a little lacking, but they are working on that.
