NBN has changed plans - passed unnoticed?

I just noticed this today too... I wonder how long it has been in effect. If I am charged extra, especially on this ****ed up month with the unstable service they have been providing lately, I am going to be majorly pissed off.

Caps, lol ya right, if these caps are for users right now, and if we get charged if we go over them, Im leaving. This is supposed to be Unlimited. They did not even warn us either.

I just e-mailed them, we will see.

I Signed up for a year and already paid for the year, if I cancle they have to give me the rest of my $$ back correct??

Thanks

Ya I had got a small deal the first year. I decided to pay for the whole year again in 2004. But If i cancel They have to give me the rest of my $$$ back for the rest of the year, which is a bit more then half a year.

Thanks

This comes as a complete shock to me. It looks as if it was changed today or yesterday on their website.

If this truly does apply to us existing users, I'm very upset that we did not receive any notice about this change prior to it being updated on their website. I don't download a lot, but I'm probably close enough to that 10 gig cap that it's got me nervous.

At 35 bucks who in their right mind would want to go with an unreliable ISP?

Exactly.

You can pay 35 bucks to a good, reliable ISP and get decent service for the same price.

lol...I prepaid for the whole year with VIF for 29.95 per month. I got this money back and more since I no longer need cable TV, music CD's, video rentals, software, porn...

how is vif btw... is it really good?

reply to Serop
hmmmm what kind of business is this?
did anyone get any emails about this??

I mean if they are going to change prices, and not tell anyone that is really sneaky, and if i get charged more on my statement i will complain to bbb or whatever people keep stating.

Funny thing is, i emailed the admin of nutnbut, couple weeks ago i believe i still have the email, and i asked him if any changes in prices would occur with our speeds etc and he said nothing in the near future, i guess that was till now

I would pay this price if they were actually reliable, p2p is still throttled etc. this isn't reliable.

I'd rather go with bell, sign a year contract for 39.95 and pay the extra few dollars and KNOW that iwont have any problems!!

reply to Serop
This is a joke, they changed the site in the past day or 2. Without any notice.

I have been VERY suportive of NBN over the past month or so while they have had thee problems, But if they think they are going to Put a 10gb Cap on now and think im going to stay with them, they are Very wrong and im going to take a bunch of people with me also.

Im sick and tiered of this, I hope this does not affect people that are already with them because if it does affect us they are going to lose even more buisnes.

reply to LastDon
Its $35 CDN for 3mb connection, unlimited. Once things are stable( will they ever be??? ), NBN may have a pretty good deal. If only their service were not so damned unreliable...

reply to Serop
I just think it's bad business practices if it affects current Users and we were not informed.

I would pay this price like i said and istorm mentioned if it was reliable, and downtime to get thing fixed would not take a month.

reply to istorm
Perhaps the 3meg upgrades have had an adverse effect on their bandwidth, and they feel they gotta jack up the price to make up the profit.

primus even is more reliable then nutnbut i bet and they offer the same prices.

reply to Serop
Wow, lucky I cancelled my NBN subscription last week. After a month of problem I had little faith in them, now it looks like they're going to solve there overloaded router problem by capping it's users, hehe. Anyways my subscription ended yesterday morning, and I signed up with Sympatico. Was up and running with Sympatico within half and hour, best of all I got 5 months @ $24.95 a month, no contract. It's not permanent but at least I have 5 months to find another ISP and see which of the independent one's stabilize.
