Hey,
I've had Xtra 2 Meg for about 4 months now. If you go over 10 gig, expect to
be capped. There are lots of stories from varied sources of going stupidly
high over your cap (or even a few gigs) and not being capped.

What you're not hearing is the large number of people on these plans that do
get capped.

If you don't want to get capped for extra usage DON'T get Xtra 2meg.

Ping times:
Mine seem to be all over the place at the moment, between 50 and 175 to
national sites. Our install is still being looked at though.

Cheers,
-Jeff MCLuckie

Subject: Question about JetStream Plus 2MB plan

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
