263990 2004-08-21 09:34:00 Cursed dialup troubles...

But I don't want to go to broadband... that could be even worse under telecoms rule...

Anyway, I run a quicksilver connection and it's been timing out a lot lately so I pinged the quicksilver server for a while and heres the results....

Sent = 545 Recieved = 371 Lost = 174 (31% Loss)
Min = 125ms Max = 1485ms Avg = 500ms

Thats really shitty right?

263991 2004-08-21 14:14:00 Go to broadband. But don't go under telecom's rule.

As for your dialup troubles: Dialup = trouble, and your ping times are normal. If (When) you get broadband you can expect about 50ms to your ISP, 55-65ms in NZ, and 150-350ms worldwide. That's what I get.

263994 2004-08-22 00:25:00 shitty yes...join the club :)

however if you are in the country it could be considered normal.

how far from the exchange are you ?

borrow a mates isp account , set it up on your pc and test it. if the results are the same then most likly its your lines that are poor not the isp.

with lines that bad forget ADSL it just won't work.

263996 2004-08-22 01:05:00 Hi willi_M

I'm on Quicksilver too, and since they've changed the number that CHCH dials up to, I am always getting those timeouts. One night I changed back to the old number but couldn't get through at all then.

263999 2004-08-22 14:12:00 You guys, that isn't very accurate....

I sent 500 packets.... you guys only did for... for the love of science do 50 at least!

BTW, broadband is too expensive...

I am hating telecom soooooooo much at this point! Greedy bastards they are. Just like microsoft! Only care about the shareholders, not the users!

Orcon owns way more submerged cables than telescum, why don't they shaft them and deny access to the lines unless telecom eases up on the prices and caps etc.... telecom would be forked! they own like 2 lines heading to intl waters!

If only that foxy chick that owns slingshot nz with would merge with orcon..... they would control the copper!
