Default Yahoo im finally going broadband!

Actually i should change my name to Caveman as i live like one.

Joining up With NZ www.xnet.co.nz our charges are probably way dearer compare to most other countries, but i am finally changing over!!! - within a week!. Got the dsl modem, the network hub, am using BNC network cards at the moment but changing over to hub and faster network cards. Im already to say bye bye to dialup!

Charges:
$28 monthly fee
1 cent per mb, with pay what usage i use per month, i figured with online gaming/streaming my limit would be around 10-15gigs per month?

3 different speeds, I choose the 256kb DL with 128kb upload yeah its not extremly fast but it beats 5kbps dialup!

No more loading up GetRight and downloading 100mb patches only to wait for 5 hrs. Last dialup download was the SHIV 1.2 patch. I thought thats it, no more of this torture!

Its been a big thing over here when signing over to bb, Telecom is currupt as hell but owns the rights to the Network core and have refused to update it even tho last yr they made a 17 million profit. The network core was setup in the 1970's and is way overdue for a refit. The govenment handed over the rights to the network to telecom in the 1970's. Some have said telecom wont update the network cause other internet providers will offer cheaper rates for faster bb than telecom. Sooner or later TeleCON have to upgrade, their reputation is not good, a yr ago an advertisement on UTube mocking the telecom boss over what she said, She has resigned this yr. The govenment is putting pressure on them. It's not looking good. I was going to wait for when they fall from grace. But i cannot wait any longer, Im probably the only one left that uses dialup in NZ. :rotfl:
We have one of the slowest faultiest Broadband in the world, Australia cream us with there speeds so no guessing the USA and other countries do the same.

RIP Dialup

How fast are your speeds? What are your monthly costs. Just curious.
