Anyone here with Telecom? I'm currently on a plan which is about 120gb for I think $105 or something, plus the tivo scam on top of that. Anyway, I received an offer in the post this week, offering to up my allowance to 150gb for $6 less. Not only that, in they are offering the chance to win a samsung 3 if you do it before sometime soon. Then in the fine print, it says if you switch plans, you can't revert back. So naturally I'm really suspicious. I cant figure out why I wouldn't want to get more data for less money. But I can't seem to figure out what their angle is... anyone else know?
edit: just to clarify, that includes the land line. I never really use it so I think local calls are free.
-
Maybe you are just on an old plan which they are trying to get rid of?
-
On the 120gb plan as well, think they have a new 500gb plan for 20 bucks extra. They probably are trying to get rid of that plan
-
Probably cable rolling though soon and they are wanting to stitch you up... Or something. You're right to be sus, they aren't doing it to be good guy gregs.

Because you're living in the past, rofl.
120Gb for over $100.
fuck I pay $70 and get over 150Gb.
Not with telecom, but pretty much all places radically increased their caps a wee while back.
So get with it. It's not so much telecom that you need worry about, it's your lack of market research. You're paying too much for shit all as it is.
Likely they're trying to consolodate their customer base as other's have suggested, so they don't end up with some crazy logistical nightmare.
-
Boom.
Just got the same letter. Was on 160GB for $135 a month.
Now on 500GB a month for $129 a month.
Win.
-
Winning.
-
8GB for $160 a month.
Living in the mountains, fuck yes.
-
what ? wait ? what / ? mmmmm ...... beer ....

The 150GB plan is way better... IF youre not making massive amounts of toll calls. No you will not be able to change back as the old 120gb plan is no longer grandfathered. Dunno about the chance to win a free S3, take that shit with a pinch of salt. But yeah, if you aren't calling all over the place all the time the new plans are way better value. If you want flick me a pm Ill make sure youre saving money (f**k the bandwagon homos)

No rage at all, sorry if you interpreted it that way.
Why didn't you just ask your wife?
-
LOL.
Yeah, asking your wife would surely garner a much more accurate response considering her place of work.
-
Bobs rule 203: Man should never ask wife anything for fear of getting an ear bashing he did not want.
-
My wife deals with supplier negotiations and contracts. Very little to do with retail telecoms.

God I pay $190 for 150GB from TelstraClear and they said they can't add on more data blocks QQ

sux2bu.
Are you on cable or something?
I was on 30Gb one month, then suddenly 150. No price change.
-
ADSL 2+ apparently but it's crap.

I MISS U GAMING REALM.

How much internet do ya'll mother fuckers need?
You guys must have the best porn libraries.
70$ for 100gb on Slingshot (inb4 Slingshit)
Haven't had any downtime for as long as I can remember (not long at all, to be honest)
and wtf this page has a page 2 as well? Who the fuck let that guy post here too?
edit : Okay now we've hit page 2. Maybe i'm guy causing all this bullshit.
-
Slingshit.
-

No, rest assured it's not because of you. But what is hilarious is that he STILL hasn't given up.
-
I need lots for uploading to YouTube

$85 for 150gb with Snap.
Good service, speed and product.
kthx

Fixt.
-
Got bumped up to 150gb yesterday, 6 bucks cheaper as well and better rates for our cellphones. Cool man cool
-
I think I have figured out a reason not to change. I have TiVo, they haven't been able to meter us for over a year now. I call up occasionally to check, they admit they aren't checking my usage. So, my suspicions is that if I change plan, that'll enable them to meter my downloading. So, I'll wait u til they fix that before I switch.
-
Do you download stuff through tivo?
What? I've looked and its all shit.

I might actually change to that if the plan is still around. Would just have to convince the guy who's name is on the bill ;P
Edoot: Doesn't look like it. Ho hum.
-
Still around, it's around all the time. It's not so much a plan as it is a base internets fee with an extra 100Gb on it.
-
I need lots for uploading to YouTube
snap.net.nz have unlimited youtube addon for $5 a month.
Worth it if you do a lot of youtube as it allows a lower overall cap.
Add in unlimited data between 1am and 7am if you increase your cap above standard.
-
OooOOooo. We got a letter in the mail saying Cable was coming to our neighborhood soon but I probably won't be living here when that happens.

Oh don't get sharted with me.

It's still around. Plans on the website are base plans, you select a base plan then add extra stuff on top, like datapacks
-
Do you download stuff through tivo?
What? I've looked and its all $#@!.
No, I mean NONE of my downloading is monitored.
-
So what you're actually paying is $100 for unlimited internets.
Not $100 for 120Gb as previously stated.
-
Technically... But if I go nuts one month, and they have randomly fixed the meter issue, I'm liable to pay for it. So for all intents and purposes, I'm on a 120gb plan. They just can't meter it for some reason. So I'm careful with my downloads anyway.
-
Will you have died from your poo disease?
I've actually had a few surgeries to correct that, so no I won't :P
-
Oh sweet, keen for some anal? Test the surgeon's handy work.

Testing with such a small sample probably isn't the best way to judge the quality of the work done.
-
That kinda worked, but you didn't pull it off.
7/10 for effort.
-
Yeh, i started it, but then was like, that is a bit mean, how would i feel if someone said that to me? I kinda gave up.
-
Thinking of getting into proctology bob?
-
Good guy Bob insults but not without remorse.

You'd be surprised how often i write up a post, only to not post it in fear of making someone feel bad.

If they start to monitor you then when you reach 80/ of your cap they will send you an email letting you know you are approaching your limit.
That will be your warning so go for gold until you get the email.
