...yes and no
They are removing the 128K/10gig and the 256/5gig plan, and replacing them with the 256K/10gig plan.

May1 ey?....

Some sites have been loading a little faster, PF1 noticibly so, but it hasn't been a dramatic overall increase, so i didn't think it had happened yet.

141428 2003-05-05 21:36:00 If you goto Telecom, somewhere in their site is a speed test... NZ Based.. dunno how accurate it is :( Chilling_Silently (228)
141429 2003-05-05 21:40:00 *wonders if the speed test works on cable?

141430 2003-05-05 23:04:00 Hey Chilling, where did you read about them increasing the Jetstream Starter speed to 256kbs??

Sorry, but you've got everyone on adsl excited, and you must explain your source! :p

141431 2003-05-05 23:12:00 I dont have solid information sorry, but Ive spoken to a couple of people from random ISP's when inquiring, and apprently its on the cards.

No gaurantees thou.

There's a WebSite somewhere around that details changes to NZ's Bandwidth situations.. cant remember, but apparently there was something on there about it (I didnt actually read it, just heard there was an article).

All up, Im just as hopeful as the rest of you are....
If this job pulls through with Telecom/Xtra, then I might be in a position to ask some higher-up Telecom dudes about it....

We'll see..

I'll keep you all informed though if I do hear some solid info on it :-)


Cheers
