| binary solo said: I just got a nice present from my ISP. My monthly data allowance got doubled, my internet speed got bumped up by 50% and my monthly bill went down by almost $2 (NZD). But I still think were here in New Zealand get fleeced on our internet costs. Here's what what I get and what it costs me a month (now) on cable TV cable broadband phone: 15Mbs download speed 40GB per month data useage (extra Gigs cost $2.95 per) Cable TV Landline telephone (excludes toll calls) Price per months $149.75 (about $106 USD) So, by other countries' standards how am I doing: worse off, better off or about the same? |
Sounds horrible. I believe we used to have a 24 Mbps connection with no quota for less than 40€ but I wasn't the one who decided what we had so I don't know the details. Before that, we had a connection with some sort of an IPTV system included in the price but they stopped offering that service.
Anyway, moved out because of my studies and now I have access to the student network. 100 Mbps / 100 Mbps I think, as well as cable TV. However, there's a nasty 5 GB quota per day, it's pretty easy to use more than that. I hate it, I'd rather have a slower connection with no quota. Whenever I play online, I use much of that. Whenever I watch videos online, it uses much of that. And whenever I want to download a demo or even a full game... Let's not even speak about that.
