Hi all
While I wait for Telecom to set JetStream up in my area (we shifted a month
ago and they had organised someone to come and wire us up, who then called
the day before he was due to arrive to tell us JetStream wasn't even
available in our area yet!) I just wanted to ask if anyone had experience of
the Telecom JetStream Plus 2MB plan, in terms of ping and data cap.
We're currently with Orcon on their 256K BiStream uncapped plan and some
months have used up to 15GB, but my friend tells me he's on the Telecom plan
and regularly downloads heaps - one months he downloaded 80GB (!!) and
didn't get throttled. I don't want to go that far, but I'm thinking about
switching to that plan for the speed and don't want to get capped to 64k
over 10gb. Is anyone on this plan who can tell me about the ping times and
how vigorous Telecom are with their throttling?

cheers

Lucas
