Telecom's Big Time plan. How slow is it?

[sil3nt]

You must be playing nearly 24/7 lol... I used to play Halo 2/3 online for 2 - 3 hours a night, plus my porn surfing etc... and never blew my 20gb wad... must be a hefty game... suppose it is a PS3

Is that at me?
Sidewinder plays on ps3 me and the GF play on PC.

20GB among 4+ people isn't that much!

Indeed it's not. I have 20gb at present, and refraining from pretty much all torrenting or major downloads, I can just make it last the month as the effective sole user.

Damn man, sounds like you live in another dimension to me Surfing, email, video streaming, skype, gaming, downloads... it just adds up.

yeh, i should probably mention I do a lot of surfing at work, when i get home i usually work on projects (possibly that is ironic), and get my brother to download all my shows cos they're on big time.

[Mudfart]

as for multiple users on at same time i have no clue. are you using wifi or old skool ethernet router?
im gonna get a wifi, apparently cost means something for quality with wifi units.
the telecommunications groups that offer these internet packages will tell you which packages to use for gaming online.

I'm on Big Time and play lots of BC2..NZ servers (ON3) are fine.. Aussie servers vary but are good most of the time. You do get the occsional rage inducing random lag though.

Video games don't cause violence - lag does!!!

FWIW Telecom Today announced they are cancelling the Big Time plan.

They're lowering the cost of the Pro plan (40GB) to $79.95 (bundled with phone services). Yeah, Telecom, that really cuts the mustard.

[Gremlin]

well, that pisses me off. Have to find another solution. Was nice not to have to worry about limits or end up on dial up. Watch what you like, no worries.

What are they lowering it from? I thought I had been paying $79.95 for Pro already. I do hope they will eventually provide an option to slow down the connection when the 40GB is reached rather than the extortionate 2c/MB overage rate.

[Mudfart]

holy shit, lucky i aint with telescum anymore. 20c per Mb would put me really in the crap. we use 50-60 Gig a month.
shit 10gig over will cost you $2000?

Sorry - got it wrong - it is 2c/MB => $20/GB
