"Orcon managing director Seeby Woodhouse didn't respond to an inquiry from
Computerworld yesterday. However, he posted a press release on Orcon's
website overnight saying the provider will wear the cost of excess traffic
over 10GB a month (understood to be 5c/MB). Customers who signed up in
advance for Orcon's UBS plan on the premise that they would receive static
IP addresses will get these, Woodhouse promised."

I know it's unconfirmed, but how could TC charge 5c per meg (for traffic
over the 10G limit) for what is effectively LOCAL traffic!!?? That is what
they currently charge end users for INTERNATIONAL traffic over the limit
now!! This is just getting f#*king ridiculous!! I can see why they pulled
out of the APE national traffic connection now!!
