Telecom's new un-capped data plan "Big Time"

**Ragingrob** · 1st July 2009, 21:47

So, Go Big is uncapped just like Go Large right?

There is no such thing as a free lunch, if Telecom can help it. Don't expect a great service, just real tight management of bandwidth. This new plan is probably how go large was meant to work in the first place. Go large failed because Telecom obviously didn't stress test before launch and the technology couldn't handle the design with so many users on it.

Go large is only great because so many people ditched it for dial up. Now that Telecom have a similar plan to Go large they can move the go large customers onto the new one.

Back to dail up speeds again.

It's the cap you wear on your nob when it's up to make sure your load doesn't go in when you're down with her.

You wouldn't get much of that in Tokyo.

yeh xnet is fucking ridiculous, bought a megashares account to download linux distros fast as, and tween 2 and 8am it downloads at like 40k, wtf, national torrents go at 400k during the same time, and they didnt tell me when they changed free time from 12-8 to 2-8 so i payed for heaps of xtra data, a very good chance ill be switching to go big, as long as its still possible to browse the net during peak times.

**Blackshear** · 8th July 2009, 14:49

THis better not mean I _have_ to switch from Go Large.

Just when downloading 400GB a month was fun.
