[AuckLUG] Good ISP for Linux Users - part 2

[Vincente Aggrippino]

This is good to hear.  I did choose to go with Orcon... once again thanks to
everyone's response.

I have the 30Gb plan with max speed in both directions.

According to the emails I get from Orcon support, my line work is already
complete and I'm just waiting to receive my modem.

With my Woosh, I took the 20Gb plan and I'm at 19.999999Gb now :(

I'll see you all at the meeting on the 5th... I'll be the American-looking
one... come on!... you know we all look alike :)
