EXETEL increases free download hours (1 Viewer)

[redruM]

Dear: Xxxxx Xxxxx

This email is to advise you of two significant changes which should be of value
to you in your use of your Exetel Internet service.

From 1st September 2006 Exetel will extend the period where downloads do not
count towards your plan's included download allowance:

From: 2 am to 10 am each day

To: 12 midnight to 12 noon each day

Also from 1st September 2006 Exetel will increase the allowance during this
period:

From: 27 gigabytes

To: 30 gigabytes

If you download more than 30 gigabytes between 12 midnight and 12 noon then
Exetel reserves the right to slow your connection in that period for the balance
of that calendar month.

We believe that these changes will materially benefit the majority of Exetel
Internet users.

Regards

Exetel Management

I probably won't get up to that much, but makes me happy nonetheless.

yeah they do this because no one really downloads during these times, only smart people who time downloads lmao...but the mum and dad nternet users never do this kind of thing...

But exetel charges for excess usage @ $3 per GB. Unlike most other ISPs who don't charge for excess download.

I think majority of people should be able to control themselves so they don't go over their limit...I mean technically I only have about 2 weeks to download 16Gb.

From 1st September the S 4U, S5U and S6U will have their peak time (12 noon to
12 midnight) download allowances increased as noted below:

S4U From 8 gb To 12 gb

S5U From 16 gb To 24 gb

S6U From 32 gb To 36 gb

No current user, or new applicant, need take any action to get the benefit of
these new allowances.

Most other ISP's shape you instead. I'd rather use my common sense to stay under my limit or pay the extra $3 so my connection is still usuable.

yep yep ti starts tonight ^^ horay, but you get capped after 30gbs... so yeah im just gonna leave as normal, bro uses the net between 12-2 anyway.

 

[funnybunny]

most other ISPs limit your speed to around 64K. either that or you're paying $300/GB extra for some ISPs!

yeah i'm thinking of changing to exetel, it's just that i'm already on iinet ADSL2+, so I don't know how long my internet would be down, and i'd hate to go without internet hehe

Exetel has also boosted the peak download limit of its 512/128 plans by quite a bit.
