[MLB-WIRELESS] Much Bigger Download Caps On their Way

[Michael Nardella]

These plans also allow the ISP to change the download limit at anytime 
by giving notice (I think 35 days), even during the contract.
It is also fairly specific about what you can't download, although 
others may have similar wording.

Maybe it is a case of its too good to be true. That seems to be the 
discussion thread on Aardvard.

Also on Whirlpool there is the suggestion tht others ISP's may uncap or 
at least raise their limits. My OPtus cable is going off netstats at 
the end of June so I am keen to get onto something else with decent 
downloads. Our minimum monthly average without download ISO's is about 
6-8gig.

-------------- next part --------------
These plans would be perfect for interstate & inter-regional packet
distribution. I would be happy to donate bandwidth for this purpose.

There are a few catches though.

1)You cannot see/use the service before making a decision to go ahead -
would you fork out $160 - 270 per month, for a year if you had NO idea
what the service was like ?

This is pretty important if for example you rely heavily on usenet. Most
ISP's news servers nowdays are woeful.

2) Most plans are on 6/12 month (minimum)
3) There is NO cooling off period (as there are with most contracts) -
Is this even legal ?
4) If you don't like the service - stiff bickies...

FYI: Telstra called me last night trying to induce me onto
broadband....... $349 per month (or thereabouts) for a 1500/256k account
with an 8 gig allowance.. Thats twice as more expensive as most other
ISP's i've researched.
