Telecom Doubled Data :P

[pilot.masman]

i guess in an effort to get new customers, telecom has doubled all their data rates for 1 year if you sign up before 4th august... http://www.telecom.co.nz/broadbandoffer

im on the PRO 40gb package now and my new month begins tonight at midnight, will it go up to 80 or is it just for new customers??

New residential Telecom Broadband customers, who sign up now to any plan 3GB or above, will get double the amount of data with their chosen plan until the end of this year. A 12 month term applies. Only available if you sign up before 8 August 2009.[/quote]

QUOTE

This offer excludes the Basic broadband plan and any plan changes, and is only for new Telecom Broadband customers on residential broadband plans.[/quote]

Reading the terms as above it's newbies only I'm afraid

thats a bit unfair on 'loyal' customers, the people who are going to do this are telecoms previous customers who deaulted to another company, it makes no sense. ahhhhh

It's the same in virtually all telecomms and internet business, 'loyal' customers don't register on the radar, they already get your money. The fastest way to get their attention is to threaten to stop giving it to them, it's amazing what some companies can suddenly come up with after all when you ring up and say you want to cancel your account because they won't give you the same deal as new customers .......

I agree totally, but like Gary said - that's how it is. We've been throwing money at Telecom/Xtra for years. We left a few years ago for Slingshot and it really made no difference, except Telecom started cold calling offering us special deals if we joined up again.
Anyway, my point is they don't give about loyal customers. None of the telcos do (they're the worst followed by power companies).
