249635 2004-07-03 11:11:00 I've had 2mbs cable since March No probs so far (touch wood). Speed can be dependant on a number of factors such as server speed, volume of traffic etc. I tested my speed at jetstreamgames.co.nz with a result of 2.25mbs

Few replies, which suggests possibly that not many people using cable. Is this so ?? Has ADSL taken over ??

249643 2004-07-06 06:44:00 You do realise that cable is only available in 2 cities out of the whole country don't you, and everywhere else Telecom has a monopoly except Auckland and perhaps Invercargill now. kiki (762)
