Very true.
As long as you're with an ISP that doesn't have attitudes about traffic
volume, JetStart is total peace of mind. It's the best value broadband
offering in New Zealand.

I love being able to download stuff like linux ISOs, or other large media
files, without having to be worried about quotas and costs.

For God's sake, downloading just one lousy ISO almost maxes out a Jetstream
600 account for the whole month.
I would loathe and detest having to always check my usage page.

I'm happy to cruise with Jetstart till the capital cost recovery allows
Telecom and the ISPs to up the flat rate speeds and/or loosen up on the
Jetstart quotas/prices.
