While much of the industry is keeping an eagle-eye on the
Telecom ADSL trials, IHUG
has just announced a price-cut for their
Star Net wireless Net service.
In a press release, IHUG are advising that the price of their high-speed "satellite" service has now been reduced to $69+GST per month (flat rate) for Auckland subscribers. The special hardware required to use the service is also being reduced, albeit for a limited time only. This hardware is now priced at $399+GST. Tim Wood of IHUG says that the service has been a great success so far and IHUG are now focusing on increasing the number of subscribers in the coverage area. For those seeking proof of the high-speed abilities of Star Net, IHUG have installed a demo machine in the foyer of their offices. Real Video footage of local kiwi bands can be seen on this machine at speeds which Wood describes as "quite spooky really".
