That site (ie www.nzdsl.co.nz) suggests running a program to tweak IE for JetStream. I went to do that, but when I saw that it was going alter my Registry, I chickened out. What if it screws it up? Has anyone tried it successfully?

BTW, my speed is 270 Kbps. Is that good or bad?

I haven't noticed any adverse effects applying the Registry change to my PC. Your speed is twice my Jetstart (mines 132.3 Kbps or 16.2 K bytes/sec), what connect do you have? 256?

219458 2004-03-04 10:29:00 The camera I took those photos with was a Genius G-Shot P210, 2.1MP camera. As you can see rather an eyesore. The picture appears pretty out of focus, but theres nothing you can do about it as the camera has no zoom or focusing functions. Point and shoot style. My parents bought it for $200 while I was in Aus, I would've told them definitely not to buy it.

Jester your close-up shot is much nicer quality. Has it got zoom or something?

Anyway back to topic. The registry files at the NZDSL site seem to work ok, you can save the file to your desktop and open it in notepad if you like. Not much registry altering there! See if you can see an improvement. I'm thinking if you can only get around 250kbit anyway then it won't make too much difference as they are likely to optimise speeds for 1Mbit and above speeds.

Pretty good, you got woosh?

Raise hand if you have woosh here and post your rating of the service you have received. 2/10 from me.

Yeah oh my gosh, was that the 2MP metla? Not too shabby. Mines a shocker in comparison. You can see why I don't think much of 2MP. :p

Yes, 256. It's Jetstream with a 1Gb limit. We have a Win XP home LAN with 3 PCs (Ethernet) and a laptop (Wireless) connected via a DSL 504 router.
