Keep your eye on the Orcon website, because we will very shortly be announcing all new broadband plans, including full-speed plans.

We have listened carefully to the feedback that we have received on the existing plans while designing the new plans. We think that you will be pretty excited when you see them.

While we are putting the finishing touches on the plans, but there is a couple of things we can tell you about them:

• There will be full-speed plans: full-speed means that your connection speed is as fast is your telephone line will allow, up to a blazing 7.6Mbps down and 768Kbps up.
• You will be able to request to have interleaving on your phone line turned off. This may reduce the amount of latency on your broadband connection, which can improve things like online gaming and voice over IP (VOIP) services.
• The new plans will be backed by the same great Orcon service that saw us voted ISP of the year at the 2006 TUANZ Innovation Awards.

Those customers currently on 3.5Mbps/512Kbps plans will be automatically upgraded to full-speed/full-speed, and those on 3.5Mbps/128Kbps will be upgraded to full-speed/128Kbps.

The new plans will be available to order from October the 26th. Existing Orcon customers may elect to change to any one of the new plans at no charge, otherwise you will continue on your existing plan.

So keep an eye on our website over the coming weeks for the big announcement.
