Hi everyone,

 

Thanks again for registering your interest in our new All You Can Eat broadband plan.

 

As promised, here is the full product & pricing info, as well as sign-up instructions.

 

It's available to order on our website now....but don't stress - your place is already reserved, so if you have anything better to do tonight besides upgrading your Broadband..maybe do that.

 

Thanks,

The team at Slingshot

Fine Print (aka 'boring stuff')

Unused Datablocks: if you're already a Slingshot customer and have an unused datablock, it will be cancelled when you're transferred to our All You Can Eat plan (but hey, you won't need it anyway!)

Availability: it's limited to the first 10,000 customers who sign up

 

FAQs

I'm an existing Slingshot broadband customer. When will my upgrade take effect?

If you're already on an FS/FS plan, you'll be upgraded at the end of your billing period. If you're not currently on an FS/FS plan, you'll be upgraded immediately.

 

Is this plan available in all parts of NZ?

Absolutely! As long as broadband is available at your address, you can sign up for this plan.

 

Is this available as Naked DSL?

No, you must have a Slingshot homeline and tolls to be eligible for this plan.

 

I'm already under contract on a different Slingshot broadband plan. If I switch to the All You Can Eat plan, do I have to pay an ETF?

No. We won't apply any ETF.

 

I'm already under contract on a different Slingshot broadband plan. If I switch to the All You Can Eat plan, will you add 24 months to my existing contract?

No, your existing contract term will just be 'topped-up' to be 24 months in total.

 

How will Slingshot prioritise traffic for users on this plan?

Traffic will be prioritised in the following order:

 

1.     VOIP, Gaming, NZ Content, 'Regular' browsing

2.     Streaming, FTP

3.     Email

4.     Exceptions (that is, traffic that we are unable to classify by any other service described here)

5.     Peer 2 Peer, file sharing

 

Will users have their speeds throttled based on the amount they have downloaded?

No.

 

Will the users of the 'All You Can Eat' plan affect the speeds or bandwidth allocation of our customers on capped plans?

No, as it is a separate allocation of bandwidth.
