The JetStream meter measures all data coming to your PC weather you asked for it or not. If you have someone doing a DOS attack on your IP address then you will quickly find your usage has gone. This is outside your control but counts as your usage. Same occurs for programs such as E-mule, Kazaa, etc. People strobing your ports for files will count as traffic. Also take into account overhead for the IP packets which Telecom also count against usage. I even asked Telecom why the big differences and they said it was Paradise's fault for not keeping track of the data properly. Paradise say theirs is okay. I have to agree with Paradise based on data I actually get plus overhead. > > Nope, as before when we where on Jetstream starter > according to my dad we where using 3 GB/month aprox & > the first month (or was it the 2nd? ) On Jetsurf we > used just over 3 GB. Depends on your ISP. If you are with Telecom and used their meter all the time then there would be no difference at all. However if you were with Paradise and moved to the Jetsurf then you would see the difference between the Paradise Jetstart meter and the Jetstream meter. |

| 255445 | 2004-07-29 00:10:00 | I have only just been able to get onto the Jetstream usage meter, by having my password reset. Maybe I used it over a year ago when I went to Jetstream Starter, and then forgot about it. Anyway, the results confirm Big Johns figures more or less. Since 17 December 2003, the Telecom usage figure divided by the Paradise total of international and national usage averages out at 2.6. It is evident then that the two usage meters are not measuring the same things at all, maybe I can just lick my finger and hold it up in the wind? :) The discrepancies are so large as to warrant some sort of investigation by whatever would be the appropriate government body, to get some sort of nationally agreed measurement system. Having retired from a background of measurement and calibration, and precision engineering I find this shambles amazing. |
