Can some of our New Zealand members tell me what internet plans they're on, what speeds they get, how much data they get and how much it costs? I'm on xnet pay for what you use, the trouble is it's costing over $60 a month which I think is just ridiculous no matter how much internet you use. This month we've used 27GB and costing $63 so far but I'm sure that's a one off as it's never been that high before.

I'm on the Telecom "Adventure" plan which gives 20GB a month for $61 (if you have your landline with them as well). I get down speeds of 9mbit/s (about 1.1MB/s) and 800kbp/s up (100KB/s). Speeds shouldn't vary too much between companies though.

At the moment they've doubled our usage for the next 12 months however so that we stay with them, so we have 40GB atm.

Ok I'm not too sure if it's worth changing because that actually works out more expensive although a few mbps faster. I'll probably stick with these guys until we get decent speeds in NZ.

Slingshot have some pretty good plans, but apparently they have terrible customer service

I'm signed up to Slingshot and the customer service is horrendously bad. I imagine they only ever have one person working in their call centre at any given time considering how long it takes to get through.

Plans are decent. Speeds are lower than what you'd get on Telecom. I'm on a FS 15GB cap plan and it's not bad. I'm considering switching ISPs what not sure which one.

The PSP2 Is Here: Dual Analog Sticks, Touch-Sensitive OLED, 3G Built In & So Much More

PSP-2 details released.

Not really a PSP person myself but thought some of you would be interested. I'm a Nintendo person ^.^

 

[ferg512]

Yeah I've never really gotten into the PSP. Most of the games are pretty crap on it you may as well just buy a console. Nintendo DS is much better.

 

[Chewie]

I'm probably not going to buy a 3DS though. At least not at launch like I did with the DS. Might wait until there's a 3DS 'lite' which will undoubtedly turn up at one point or another.

 

[AbhishekS]

I don't feel PSP would be do any good to Sony now, they should really stop the production instead of coming out with new releases.

Does anyone here have any sound file inaudible to above 18's?:P

Facebook launches its e-mail service. Just got a '<myfacebookusername>@facebook.com' email ID. Although its a nice step, I don't think it'll turn out to be much successful.

I cannot see myself using the Facebook e-mail ID much.

 

[Chewie]

Yea I got it a while ago and haven't used it at all.
