By the way, this sentence doesn't seem clear to me...
ORCON GENIUS (30GB with standard calling rates) with 200GB Data
Does that mean 230 in total? I think it does?

hangon: The base plan needs another hard look
Telstraclear $75 = phone line + bb 40GB + wireless modem, 12 mon term and first 2 month free, $150 value upfront.
Orcon provides either national calls or 30 GB for the same price, and longer contract term (plus you "renting" the modem, you can't sell it at end of term).
Maybe Orcon just want to move everyone to the 60 GB/$89 plan, which is a bit of hit n miss to start with.
The 200GB/$99 plan is a star though, but for a small household there aren't much we could do to use even 40 GB a month, legitimately.
Snackos: New plan from tomorrow..

Apple TV $24.99 to watch Tintin, thanks but no thanks. I'd rather go to the movie theatre.
Quickflix has extremely limited choices.
Netflix is probably the only one I'd pick, once we had more time at hand for tv

Surely you mean $24.99 to BUY Tintin....which isn't far off the mark for physical media.
It's only $6.99 to WATCH Tintin....which again isn't far off the mark for physical media from the rental stores.

umm thanks for pointing that out.
I'd say its UI not helping much. The only $ figure on the page is $24.99. Even if the figures are not far off buying/renting physical media, I don't see any cost saving for the consumer.
Like e-books (quite often) selling no cheaper than paper copies.

Strange...on my aTV I get a Rent and Buy button in the details of the movie. In iTunes I get the same. You have to actually go into the movie (select it) to see those details though, maybe that's what you haven't done yet?

bameron:NonprayingMantis:bameron:Snackos: Sounds awesome for me. Currently I pay $105 for 60 gigs, but on the new plan I get 200gigs for $99.
I presume orcon auto-changes us to the new plans, or do we need to contact them and do it ourselves?
You will need to contact the Helpdesk on 0800 13 14 15 or via our website here: https://www.orcon.net.nz/support/request
wait, what?
you mean you aren't migrating customers over to the new plans? that's pretty poor.
As both the pricing AND content of the plans are changing, it would not be right for us to automatically switch customers over as it may not suit certain customer's particular situation (in fact it's not actually legal for us to do so anyway).
