| 160607 | 2005-04-27 05:09:00 | Ok, Sorry, new poster, currently living in the UK, moving out to NZ next month to Hamilton. Does this mean then that my 2mb static non-nat service un-capped cannot be matched in New Zealand? OMG! I can't even find a decent 512k service, can anyone tell me who is the best ISP to use in Hamilton? I need to give this very serious attention. Regards. There is *something* like that There is a 2mbit ADSL service that has 2 options Option one; once you reach 10GB you get limited to 64k/s Option two; Once you reach 10GB, you keep going on at 2mbit, but at 2c/MB I personally am on plan one with Orcon/Telecom, however due to telecom's f*****g bad management am stuck on 300k due to DSLAM overloading. Odds are it'll be different in not-so-crowded Hamilton :) Also, Wired Country Wireless internet is available in Hamilton. ICONZ has their Wired Country plans here (www.ezysurf.co.nz). |

| 160608 | 2005-04-27 05:22:00 | Thanks for that Edward, I started to panic then!! Got this feeling it's not going to be the same as Blighty, is there anything I should be aware of? any pitfalls? I will have to sort out a phone connection so is there anything I should know before I do this as I will rely on the ADSL to keep in touch with the people in the UK, do Orcon/Telecom block any ports on the connection? In the UK some ISP's block a multitude of ports to restrict usage. TIA |

| 160609 | 2005-04-27 05:29:00 | I'm not entirely sure about port shaping. If you want to go with Orcon internet, they've just introduced a system where Telecom sells broadband wholesale to them, so the entire thing is billed by Orcon (Before, $10 would go to Orcon, $59 would go to telecom). If you do go with them, it's called Bitstream as opposed to Jetstream If you do go with Orcon, you can email support@orcon.net.nz or sales@orcon.net.nz to find out about port shaping |

| 160610 | 2005-04-27 05:42:00 | If u want fast go to Hong Kong Forget your measly 1mb or 2mb broadband speeds, for the Hong Kong Broadband Network company has debuted a broadband service offering a whopping 1Gbps worth of speed . Alas, this service isn't likely to reach our shores any time in the near future . The lucky net folks in Hong Kong can also get 100Mbps for $34 and 10Mbps for $16 a month . HKBN plans on adding TV services using the ultra-high speed broadband connections, with over 200 pay channels possible on each connection using MPEG-2 DVD quality pictures . |

| 160611 | 2005-04-27 05:48:00 | Thats cool, I'm currently trialing SDSL, 2meg up and down, very nice if you run servers, bit hard on the pocket though. The UK has 8mb home connection going live next month and the cable suppliers here are talking about bandwidth on demand DSL. NTL are already trialing Video over IP so they can stream cable TV down it. Thanks for all your help guys. Regards |

| 160612 | 2005-04-27 05:55:00 | Hi Astro*. Keep on saying this to yourself and you'll be okay. Got this feeling it's not going to be the same as Blighty, When you get here, keep any comparisons or moans to yourself and you'll stay okay. :cool: |
