184710 2003-10-19 05:17:00 Hey,

Does anyone know if the new 256k offering from Xtra/Telecom has P2P and international gaming etc limitations like many ISP's have on their 128k connections. I rung Xtra 'Technical Support' Desk, who surprisingly didnt even know there was a 256k service!

Any help appreciated

Surely you weren't that surprised.

You would need to ring Telecom, as the bandwidth for any connection other than Jetstream Starter is Telecom provided, not ISP.

So on Jetstream Starter, Paradise/Xtra/Actrix/Orcon/whoever provide the bandwidth and Telecom provide the exchange connection.

Jetstream 256, fullrate etc, Paradise/Xtra/Actrix/Orcon/whoever provide IP addressing in Telecom's space, e-mail, authentication and support. Telecom provide both bandwidth and the exchange connection.

If it is limited it'll be limited by Telecom, and I am fairly sure it isn't.

Jetstream Starter it was limited on an ISP by ISP basis purely to give priority to http traffic etc.
