An isp up's it's prices you've got to be kidding right ?

Ummm errr NO

What really a hacks me off is last week i had a fellow offering me the world to join up to TelstraClear. But i resisted the temptation. Man i wish he'd come back now. And if your a sales men from TelstraClear reading this right now drop me a line.

Dear "ultrasonic2",

Putting our prices up is something we try really hard to avoid. But sometimes it's beyond our control.

So unfortunately we've been forced to increase our national landline calling rate from 15c to 19c per minute. If you have an unlimited number of national calls as part of your plan don't worry, that's not changing - this rate will only be applied if a call exceeds an hour.

In addition, the Broadband discount you get for having your tolls with us will remain, but will now be $5 instead of $10. This will effectively mean that your broadband plan is $5 more expensive per month.

These changes are going to take effect from the 23rd of August.

There is some good news though. We've managed to keep the capped calling rate exactly the same. So if you don't have unlimited national calling you'll still pay no more than $2.95 for calls of up to an hour in duration to NZ landlines.

If you feel like you have received this email in error it may be because you have changed plans in the last week. If you have not changed plans but still think you may have received this incorrectly please contact us on 0800 13 14 15.

Kind regards

The team at Orcon
