337096 2005-03-23 07:39:00 I m gonna get straight to the point.

I m sick of Orcon's BS.
I m leaving them.
I m thinking of joining up with quicksilver.

What is your experience with them?

Thanks

(Note: I m joining quicksilver because I have this deal where I can get 10 GB bitstream for 40 bux a month)

337097 2005-03-23 07:41:00 Go for it mate, I've been with them for nearly 3 years now and I haven't had any problems with them at all. Their helpdesk is great (in my opinion) and they have good deals as you no doubt have seen.

cheers

337098 2005-03-23 09:57:00 I'm currently with Quicksilver dialup.

Up till 6 months ago, I had a good run. Lately though I have been getting crappy connection speeds (esp when its raining in Wellington - where there servers are situated I think)
When I switch to broadband I will be switching ISPs (depends on bundling/commerce commission/telecom)

Thats highly unusual, especially if connection speeds are worse when the weather is bad, that would generally indicate I would think an issue with your line.

Our servers are located in all the main centres and in some smaller cities as well.

There could be other issues that may cause a slower connection. Feel free to give us a call and we can run through those - 0508 774 583

Well, I m after their Bitstream service . . . .

I ve put up with orcon for 4 to 5 months . . . . NO MATTER WHO U GO TO, just DON"T go to to ORCON!!!! You will regret it if you do!!! I gurantee it! Forget about what you heard in the past . . . Orcon is now different, for the worst . .

337102 2005-03-23 11:16:00 I'm on Dial up and connect at reasoanable speeds but get **** download speeds. Their DNS servers aren't that hot as well. At the end of the day the best ISP I ever had was my first years ago. mikebartnz (21)
337103 2005-03-23 21:18:00 I'm currently with Quicksilver dialup. I would consider staying with them if you use their dial-up service currently. I switched from their dial-up to Jetstream and they charged me a lower price. When the new ADSL plans came out they also gave me a discounted price... it may be a good idea to investigate 1st before you write them off. I'm currently paying $19.95/month for a 10GB, 2Mbit connection.

337104 2005-03-24 09:21:00 Hmm, looks like I might be eating my words....
Noticed a problem on phone line yesterday, rung Telecom, they ran their fault test, and yes, my phone line had a fault

Am going to hook up a new jack (soon) as the Telecom guy said that my extension was bad, tho the rest of the line is NOW sweet :)

Apologies to Quicksilver
