242931 2004-06-09 02:22:00 Having visited the Invercargill CBD Telecom exchange yesterday, I can see why it would be a nightmare to even think about speed limiting, let alone doing correct calculation of a person's usage. The equipment is just so outdated and old. They actually monitor things off a 286 or was it a 486... Apparently they were "upgrading" to 10Mbit ethernet routers or something so businesses could have fast usage. 10Mbit :O Cave man style at its best. kiki (762)

242933 2004-06-09 12:13:00 Ummm Sept...

yeah for those who are still getting 256K after 10GB exploit as much as you want.

Its true telecom dont really have automated system just yet to limit speed. However there is a bunch of 5 or so people who are manually going thru each account to limit the speed!

They are faced with going back to those accounts to take off the speed limit cap when new cycle starts!!!...so you can imagine the time it takes to wade thru all the Surf Flat rate subscribers limiting their speeds and then coming to them!

So you might notice your speed drops after say 30GB but then just before your cycle finishes you get the same speed again (and you manage to add another 20GB to your current 30GB) which takes you thru to the next cycle

Its all chaos at Telecom at the moment as far as Jetstream goes!
:D

242934 2004-06-09 14:04:00 Its indiferent to that of microsoft.

As microsoft gets bigger, they stick with the old basic code because they can't be bothered spending money, hence creating an inefficient os...

Heres telecom, another monopoly, getting bigger, still using 486's because they are still too busy making money to upgrade, hence an inneficient management system...

Hehehe...

I thought I'd fill in for hamstar while hes on his leave of absence.... :D

I'm sorry, you [i]did[/b] say Invercargill . I don't expect they'll be putting OC255 14 GBps backbones on non-existant fiber and Gigabit copper swtiching on copper lines in Invercargill .








oooooooooooooooooooooooo . :D

They expect to upgrade sometime in the next 10years when their new IP thing comes in.

Personally I think the government should fork out for a couple of satellites for high speed internet.
