Do any NZ ISP have a connection thats over 1Mb and unlimited usage?
I cant believe all NZ ISP are limited to 10Gb, is this a legality issue?

No there isnt. Its damn annoying. I'm on a 2Mbps cable connection with 10GB cap.
Its not a legal issue, just not enough competition between the big players yet. Also Telecom is holding things up a bit with the wholesale rates they sell at.

im on 2Mbps with 20 GB on peak and 20 GB off peak (about $70 a month i think), i believe ihug will go upto 40GB on and 40GB off but thats about $100 a month.

Ouch, ISP caps suck, Here in the US i get 9mbps download and 1 mbps upload uncapped for 50 bucks a month, which is still nothing compared to Japan, where you can get 100mbps download for like 15 bucks a month.

It seems the UK is better than most countries in this aspect then you can get 1mbps uncapped as low as £14.99 or adsl 2 (limited availablity in certain areas) with upto 24mbps for £27 a month, these are the two extremes but normally its approx £30 for 2 mbps uncapped. But it's the competition and the local loop unbundles that have pushed prices down, just 5 years ago a 1/2 meg connection set you back £39.99 a month and a £150 connection fee. Obviously countries like sweden and japan are far more advanced than us but I can stomach the fee here compared to the prices we pay here for other things.

Plus in the UK we get the option of broadband via Cable services like NTL & Telewest up to 10mbps...
Is that an option over there?

Actuall NTL etc are really crap, i pay £70 per month fro 2Mb totally unrestricted TCP connection (no restrictiosn on ANY ports and no caps) .
its this CAP in NZ that sort of stopped me and the otherhalf moving there. I am the type to start my own ISP with an uncapped connection but sounds like its the telecom company doing that. Sounds likes NZ needs alittle competition maybe???
