| 271446 | 2004-09-12 03:34:00 | Orcon service is very good but its Broadband suffered from bad latency. (pausing between tasks). They may have cured it now. I am now with Xtra. Service is good and performance good, & no ISP fees. $49.95 for 3gigs. Orcon offers $49.95 uncapped, so if you plan to use more than 3gigs, they would be better for you. |

| 271447 | 2004-09-12 03:40:00 | How bad is it? Becuase i was only going to use it because it has a static IP, and i want to run my web and email server without needing to use NO-IP Daniel |

| 271449 | 2004-09-12 04:48:00 | I would think most ISPs don't like you running servers. Xtra made a big fuss about people using Kazaa as technically that would mean uploading and therefore running a server. I'm with Orcon - no real complaints. Email goes down from time to time but then I guess you get that with any ISP. When Jetstream goes down it's usually Telecom's fault. I was on Orcon dialup before Jetstart. At one point I almost packed it in because I couldn't log on. Perhaps they were overloaded. The problem went away so I assume they fixed it. I haven't had any such problem with them on ADSL. I like the unlimited cap and they're good value all in all. Customer service might not be 24/7 like Xtra perhaps, but I wouldn't touch Xtra for 2 reasons: 1) They're Telecom in disguise 2) too expensive. Stick with Orcon and you won't be disappointed. |

| 271450 | 2004-09-12 04:59:00 | I am only running a really low usage webserver, not one that lots of people hit everyday. I dont understand why they dont like people running servers because it can be easily done Daniel |

Available in October: - Unlimited data usage - Speed: 256Kbps download / 128Kbps upload - Free Static IP $99.95 per month plus GST Personally i think i should get a refund and a letter of apology from telescum for the many months of a disgustingly priced service. |
