Time to revisit this bloody question. I just got an email from orcon saying that their 256/128 plans are going from $50 to $60 per month, (without getting their tolls) AND if you go over 40G per month you get charged $10 per 5GB. On a recent month I did 91GB, so I guess I am a heavy user, but its gonna get way expensive if I continue that. Maybe I will move to korea or hong kong. of bloody anywhere that has sensible IP infrastructure. > Telstra 2Mbit down/2Mbit up, 10GB, incl line rental $102.
