Definition: Postpond

11 01 2007

I received an e-mail today from one of my code workers misspelling “Postponed” as “Postpond”. I had a little chuckle to myself that I thought I would share with all of you.

Definition: Postpond

A new service from BigPond for those people in areas with sub-broadband services where they can transfer 50Mb/s. Blazing speeds! Unfortunately all the data arrives at once at the destination usually after about two or three days, however – you shape the performance of the traffic using a QoS technique called Express Envelopes. As usual international traffic incurs a higher cost.

Very cool! You forgot one thing, the government claims the service is the best you will find in the developed world.

And all this for an amazingly low price of $99.95*!

* 50MB usage limit applies. Each MB over the 50MB usage limit is $17.95.

My kids have been calling it “Australia Post Broadband” for years, but “PostPond” - I like it!

Paul: Alternatively, there is Plan B where each MB over the 50MB usage limit takes an extra day.
