Changes To Exetel Broadband Plans

Since Exetel began offering broadband services in January 2004 we have made every effort to increase the value and capabilities of the plans we offer.

From October 1st 2007 we will make the following additional facilities available:

Email Addresses The current number of email addresses will be increased from 15 to 20

Web Space The amount of free web space will be increased from 60 megabytes to 200 megabytes

Static IP Each account will continue to have one static IP address

Free SMS You can send 20 free SMS messages from your broadband service at no charge each month; after 20 the charge is 5 cents per message

Referral Bonus (ADSL1 Only) If you refer a relative, friend or colleague you will receive a credit of $30.00 per referral to your Exetel account

We will also make two changes to the way the off peak period works from 1st November 2007:

Off Peak Time (1) The download allowance between 12 midnight and 12 noon each day will be increased from 40 gbytes to 48 gbytes

Off Peak Time (2) Downloads over 72 gbytes in the 12 midnight to 12 noon period will be charged at $3.00 per gbyte

Great move - always good to see Exetel adding more value to our plans!

Great news

How will this affect the pooling of people?

Could we have some concise clear rules for when pooling occurs please? The current acceptable use web page does not mirror what is actually happening

Thanks

I'd also like to know if speed will be restricted or limited when you are in the "black" pool, where you are paying $3/Gb.

1) No changes are planned.

2) I thought the 'rules' were pretty clear - what exactly do you want?

No restrictions above 72 gb per month - as you say - if the user pays then that's fine.

Well, the acceptable use policy says you will only be pooled for the remainder of the current month if you exceed 40 GB.

You have recently gone far beyond that to pooling people the next month and if I read it correctly possibly the month after that in some cases

All I ask is for the rules to be clear and easily referenced.

Thanks

1) Nothing has changed except the threshold will now be 48 gb

2) As far as I know that has never been done.

The way i read it, if you exceed 48gb in a month, your pooled for the rest of the month.
You exceed it AGAIN the following month, you get pooled for the entire NEXT month

So now, the limit for this is now 48gb

so, < 48gb, no pooling
48-72gb pooled
72gb+ pooled & $3/gig

Great work Exetel!!!
I'm happy with all the decisions made

Thx and keep up the good work!
If we have made referrals in the past month or so, will we be able to be credited for these?

Probably not, changes are from October 1st.

[ronald]

Sounds all good to me.
Just be sure to be conservative enough about adding free features that you don't find at some point in the future that it's untenable and you need to raise the fees.

Cheers,
