vexxxboy: unlimited fibre would be good

RalphFromSnap: Hi guys

The team at Snap HQ are flat out crunching the numbers - stay tuned! 

With regards to the ETCs on the ADSL & Phone service, it does look like this is an error which we'll adjust soon. Certainly the intention is not to be greedy but to make sure each service pays its own way, and this particular service is among our least profitable. Which is why we're so keen to push fibre ;)

Hoperfully we'll have an update for you later this week.

Cheers
Ralph

I would settle for naked fibre first! Happy to be on a capped plan at present as the caps are reasonable and large enough.

Fibre is already "naked" isn't it, or do you mean without VOIP? If so I suspect you'd find it wouldn't save all that much (Though I would be curious if this is the case)    If you don't want\need it don't use it - I tend to think of it in a similar way to ISP offered email. :)

All fair points and yes I mean without VOIP. We primarily use our mobiles as first points of contact and the only people who insist on a landline are the telcos (:D). However I still have to pay for the pleasure of a phone I hardly ever use. Only RSP to provide naked UFB is Vodafone and I don't trust them based on past experiences. Doubt there is much to it traffic wise but still, another layer of complexity / a service running over it we don't need / want.

It was interesting having the Chorus install and seeing what thier thinking was around landlines given they ran a cable back to the ETP to make sure the copper devices still worked. Part of the standard install. Even though we are CAT6 wired and I can plug straight into the relevant patch panel port straight from the modem!

I fully agree. When I signed up to Snap UFB I had to tell them not to provision a phone number to me. I didn't want any kind of phone service As I would then need to tollbar it. (got flatmates) And 2 previous ISPs have given me tollbar related trouble. So a bundled phone service is actually a liability not a feature to me.

reven: end of week and no word :(

i checked out telecom and orcon.  neither offer static ips on their unlimited plan (so i wont switch to them), vodafone offer one at $20.40 (unless it not available on their unlimited plan either?).  

im hoping snap reduce their datacap prices, my month ends on the 12th, and I ran out of bandwidth on the 10th :) so slow internet for a day and half (their additional top ups are far too expensive at $2 for 1 GB, $5 for 2.5GB).   1TB for around $125 a month ill be very happy.

still have to checkout bigpipe (but internet is slow :))
