Can download more than 5 gigs on dial up in a month.

But that was a nice effort there.

Does anyone else have any to add.

Yeah but there is no way i will trust telecom to that... only gives you 10gb anyway and that is assuming you have no international bandwidth!

That is some crazy shizer!

I have yet to hit my 10gb cap, but then again, I have yet to manage to get more than 1gb free on my hard drive.

How much do you pay extra to Xtra for all that???

it just occured to me that they have only just introduced the 5gb cap, havent they?

If only I could afford it in the first place/
