| 269976 | 2004-09-07 00:30:00 | Jetstream Surf 256 is super fast now. Any others experiencing this as well? Just downloaded my NAV definition update of 5.3 MB and it took <5 seconds to complete the download!! Hope it's always at this speed :D |

| 269978 | 2004-09-07 01:05:00 | Is this something that Telecom does every now and then to show you what you don't have?? A workmate had his 128K connection downloading at a sustained 140kbit for a weekend when he's usually limited to about 15-20 . Apparently Sky does this as well with channels you don't subscribe to . . . |

Nope - post from other thread: It happens to people all the time, most probably don't even notice . Certainly nothing to get that excited about . The only prolonged one I'm aware of is a mate who's folks are paying for JetStart, however since the changeover to the new "QoS enabled" DSLAM's (Nokia --> Alcatel) they have been on full speed uncapped, so thats going on maybe 9 months or longer now . |

| 269981 | 2004-09-07 13:12:00 | Download time: 7.05 seconds Size of file: 1000 Kilobytes Estimated line speed: 1157.4 (kilobits/second) Estimated line speed: 141.8 (kilobytes/second) Oh yeah. |

| 269982 | 2004-09-07 13:21:00 | Yeah I noticed it as well. Seems to happen every few months. It lasted for a couple of hours as far as I could tell | Greg S (201) | ||

That happened a while ago just as the Euro soccer was starting. Then you get hooked and they take it away. I suppose a few people subscribe after that pretty quickly. Personally, I look at the Sky schedule and realise I'm not missing much. (apart from the one program once a week when good old hvcplus comes in handy). I've never had the full speed gifted from Telecom yet, but if I did I think I would quickly realise that 1GB is a measly data-cap. If anything it would give me less incentive to upgrade it as soon as I found out how quickly you could chew through it. |

| 269984 | 2004-09-08 11:30:00 | As I understand, 256k will be the new "jetstart' from 3rd October? | barmypom (6048) | ||
| 269985 | 2004-09-08 22:22:00 | In that case by 2020 we should have 1Meg Jetstart.. | paulw (1826) | ||
