Admittedly I'm a bit slow off the mark for sorting out a change of ISP's since
XTRA's capping JetStart, but I've just been going over Ben's figures &
surprise, surprise, suddenly Tv-Line isn't available now either....

http://www.telecom.co.nz/content/0,2502,201994-200817,00.html

So I've been working with Ben's figures & finding an alternative. As below.
MessageLine $35.95
Telecom JetStart $29.95
Sky Start-Up $37.90
Other ISP for Jstart $35.00 (approx)

TOTAL $138.80

So far I'm trying to work out how that particular combination came up cheaper
than Ben's one. Can someone shoot some holes in my figures, or has Sky changed
their prices recently?

Thx.
Jp.
