Need to get Go! 'ing'...

Hi all... leave it to me for not listening to what DST had in store. Not being properly connected to the world wide web took its toll about a few weeks ago (E-Speed roadshow) when I took the jump and applied for the unlimited access plan. I've been a happy bunny for the past few weeks, until an advert in the local paper hinted that DST had something huge coming. At that time, all I thought was they were planning to launch their 3G service for the Prima and Easi subscribers. But little did I know, it was something more special than that. Not until recently, about a week ago did most of us find out that DST are launching their all new GO! broadband service nationwide. And did it ever impress... 7.2Mbps on the 'go'!!! Now that is what I call fast surfing. Though the dedicated speed hasn't been proven to reach that fast, but just the thought of being able to surf (downloading movies is the more correct term here...) several times faster than our existing speed is just mind boggling. And the price for unlimited access... BND78!!! Now that is what I call a good deal. But it's still early days for me to jump the boat and migrate to GO! However, the temptation is clearly present to say the least. I'll probably drop by to DST's road show in the next few days and have a feel on how 'reliable' the new service is. Congratulations are however in order for DST in introducing a long awaited competitor into the local broadband service provider market. Healthy competition is always good for both the provider and the consumer. We'll have greater choice, and the providers will always find better and more attractive ways to keep or gain more costumers to join their 'band wagon'. Let the price war begin... Happy days is certainly upon us...
