Gotta check that out. ...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. .Clueless |

| 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 Chilling_Silence |
