same for me on IE7.


Can someone say if "daytime usage" is actually "monthly daytime usage" ?

In my experience you really need to 'spoon feed' visitors! Sometimes the techies/owners are too close to things...

Just trying to help like some of the others here

While ordering it is clear which you can get, and also what you get for the selected tariff.
The availability checker on the site also says what you can get.

I have added a 25GB on evening/weekend. I can add others if people think they would help.
I have marked all as /mon to make it clear that it is monthly usage levels.
I have added a Calculate button for IE users.

That is better RevK, i thought i was going to have to call into your office for a translation, seeing as you are based locally to me

So in my scenario with 21CN:-
2 GB Peak = Mon-Friday 9am-6pm
25GB = Evenings and Weekends
100GB = Night 2am-6am <--- I assume this tariff is 7 days a week? not 5?

So for me that calculates to 1.95 Units
So I purchase 2 Units which costs £17.56 Including VAT Month?, but will increase from Jan 2010 with the VAT rise?

Calculator is OK with Firefox 3.5.6

See this post from a genuine enquirer.

The link doesn't go the the which ISP residential where the poster was I think and AAisp may like to 'talk' to him

Ah indeed! Mea culpa. Thanks

RevK - see http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/which_isp/t/3766799...

RevK has added "/mon" to the selection texts.

Well Gentlemen as I am one of the non-techys here and was getting awfully confused, I can now say I've got it !!!! No help needed from sons or grandsons so I reckon most will now understand .

just realised that I can save an awful lot of money as well

Just checked Safari and Chrome, both recalculate on the fly like FF so just IE that's a problem.

Correct.

The site always uses current prices and usage levels and VAT rate in the calculator. So it is working on 15% VAT as that is the current VAT rate.

I see, so i could add 5GB to my Evenings rate to bring my Scenario (above) from 1.95 units to 2.00 units.
Which gives me more flexibility than I get with Zen currently (25GB Peak), when I'm happy to set downloads ouside of peak hours. Also it would cost me less than the £25ish per month which I'm paying now.

Don't forget all this is is a ready-reckoner to estimate your needs. The GBs you specify don't have to be used in those periods, just the Units get used at different rates depending on when you are online/downloading.

There also is the flexibility of carrying forward under and over-runs.

Thanks Roberto, I have just got my head around the way it's set out now. But in my scenario, just so I knew what the maxs's were (understanding that it is a Pick & Mix), I like the idea of upto 2, 30, 100 for 2 units because it is practical for me. I doubt very much I'd use anywhere near 100GB on the Night rate though.

I have been looking at Idnet again and now AAISP, essentially because I'd like to save money, but also have flexibility, even if that flexibility is in the early hours of the morning.
My reasoning here:-

In general I never use more than 10GB with Zen, but pay for 25GB. But if I need more than 25GB on occasion like now I would have to pay more. There is no carry over, nor is there any other facility in the way of off peak usage. At the moment i pay around £25 too, whereas i could have more flexibility for less money (around £18).

I'm on 8Mbps version of 21CN at present and aslong as I get stable and reasonable online gaming pings as I do with Zen I'd seriously consider moving. As I've been with IDnet before, they are a known factor, although AAISP would be new to me.
