| choel | I'm new to NZ. and I'm trying to find the best ISP. What I noticed here is that all ISP got a roof. I there any ISP that dosen't got a roof of data traffic. ? | 14:37 |
|---|---|---|
| ojwb | choel: as far as I'm aware, you either have a cap, or you pay for the data you use | 14:51 |
| ojwb | I think it's because of the higher costs of international bandwidth compared to most other places | 14:52 |
| choel | we'll either way. it's odd. europe and usa doesen't have it. | 15:00 |
| choel | so why is it so expensive here? | 15:00 |
| ojwb | there's a lot of undersea cable to get to pretty much anywhere | 15:11 |
| ojwb | which isn't true in the US or Europe | 15:12 |
| ojwb | most of the UK ones actually have a "fair use" limit if you look into the details, but it's pretty high | 15:12 |
| ojwb | not sure about other countries | 15:12 |
| ojwb | unmetered national traffic used to offered by some ISPs, but that seems to have died out sadly | 15:13 |
| ojwb | I guess it's potentially confusing that a ".nz" website could be hosted overseas, so not count as national traffic | 15:14 |
| choel | A cable from NC to Asia isnät longer from europe to the states. | 15:24 |
| choel | isn't | 15:24 |
| choel | And even so..... satelites... | 15:24 |
| choel | just strangely more expensive here. | 15:25 |
