292404 2004-11-15 06:39:00 I am currently using telecom's jetstream plus(2Mb).
The speed of download inside nz is over 230KB/s. But when I download stuff from overseas, it does not go over 90KB/s. Moreover it often does not go over 15KB.. (from overseas). It is worse than 256Kb plan that I was using. It always gave me full speed of 32KB whether I download stuff from nz or not.
I just wondering anybody experiencing this??

292407 2004-11-15 07:55:00 what are you useing to download with?

with some products there is a few tweaks to increase speed.

however i suspect its the ISP being cheap on international bandwidth.
