Is there a way to bypass limited internet from new zealand?

Question

I have a friend in New Zealand who apparently has limited internet, meaning he can only download/use about 6mb per month and once he goes over that amount his speed switches down to a dial up speed, is there any way of bypassing that or any ideas as to how he can stretch his time, maybe using an alternate source for uploading/sending information? Sorry if this is a bit undetailed.

Answer 1

There's no such thing as a 6mb limit anywhere. It will be 6 gb and he should be able to have it upgraded to some extent if he's prepared to pay more per month or change ISPs.

Answer 2

i would suggest...

www.orbitz.com

www.lowfares.com

Answer 3

No way, except to upgrade the limit

Answer 4

He could probably upgrade his limit, but I'd question if his current limit is only 6mb. It's far more likely to be 6gb - I've never heard of a limit as low as 6mb.

Answer 5

It's more like 6gb - that's what I have and most months I don't use all that. It does slow down, and there's not much you can do about that.

See the link - Telecom is New Zealand's biggest provider so other providers are usually a little lower or competitive.

Update: You can't fully bypass the limit, but if you know you're approaching the end you can get a lot more download for a few hours if you don't reboot your router. (I've done this by accident.) I understand that the quantity downloaded is only uploaded when you reboot it or at midnight.
