How big is the cap set at?


Currently 15GB+ unmeatered between 4-8 AM

We could move to a plan with a larger cap but then we would lose the free off-peak and considering counting off peak traffic we usally use over 100GB a month anyway it probably wouldn't be worth it...

Wow that is BS. Why do so many other countries have retarded bandwidth caps? High traffic use?

When I had comcast they had a 250GB cap that they didn't want you to go over and I know Quest/Century Link doesn't have a cap and the other service provider I had back in 2008 didn't either.

 

The other question is how much do you pay a month?


$35NZ a month (just for the internet, phone line etc is more) it's basically daylight robbery lol, it is getting better slowly, the governments broadband initiative should hopefully improve the situation in the next few years, it has definatly sped up fast broadband rollout but now data caps needs to catch up more.

Yeah that type of cap is only realistic on less than 200 KB/s internet. That's a pretty horrible price for that too.

Here in the US Century Link is giving 12 Mb/s internet with no cap for $19.99 for 5 years garuanteed price and no contract. You really can't beat that...Too bad I was all ready on Century Link before they did that deal >_<
