232520 2004-04-30 01:39:00 oh I see, sorry, the 256k plans are256 national and international.

The 3 mbit national plan sounds intriging though .... I'd be interested to see who that is from?

232522 2004-04-30 05:15:00 oh i see. Although, a truly 'unlimited' 256kb connection both ways (upload and download and with no caps and no throttled speeds) would be really good. I've heard rumours of orcon releasing such a plan and another 512kb connection plan later this year. I wish thats true because 128 really gets me down and with my heavy download schedule :P a capped 256k plan isn't really worth it for me. static reanimated (5575)

as far as I know the connection is syncronous. It definately has no data caps at all and therefore does not throttle

232524 2004-04-30 05:30:00 what about ping rates for online games? Are those good? static reanimated (5575)
232525 2004-04-30 05:33:00 results vary.. I get a reasonably solid 25ms to the xtra BF1942 servers... whetu (237)

232528 2004-04-30 10:29:00 I reckon thats a damned good deal, espesh the 3mbit download in national. MrBeef (342)
232529 2004-05-01 10:53:00 my bad :P
Anyway, i was wondering how much the install cost you? Cause i just payed telecom installation charges for my jetstart connection and i don't feel like paying another company installation charges all over again. Oh and is the service ever down?
