I am currently on the Telecom 40 GB and planning to move to orcon.

I want to know which ISP is better. The price comparisim between Telecom 40GB plan including homeline and the Orcon Purple 55GB plan including homeline . Which one is better how much of you guys use these ISP. I heard Orcon is bad is this true?

Cheers

I'm happy with telecom, there are those that say different and those that say not, Orcon has the same supporters and opponents. You wont know till you try. I am of the opionion that if it is working dont fix it

Orcon is cheaper.
Telecom is faster in peak time and generally.

As a former Orcon user and reading many threads here and over a GP Forums .. Only move to Orcon if dial up speed during peak time (5pm-midnight) is not a deal breaker for you.

If I could move to Telecom I would (landline isn't mine, so I can't) and that's coming from someone who was very anti Xtra a few years back

I suspect Telecom will offer some new plans soon, practically every other ISP has recently post GST increase.
