| 1297449 | 2012-08-28 09:13:00 | 100GB www.telstraclear.co.nz Some ADSL plans are the same or more data for less, but we have a few things all tied in that other places cant match, when you actually add them all up and compare pricing. We've had several ISP's and such call, and when they add everything up, telstra is still the cheaper option. Hmm... yeah ill pass that on to the boss (my parents) because we are looking for something slightly faster... |

| 1297452 | 2012-08-28 11:28:00 | Netgear WNR2000 is the Router May change it to a different model, well see. Speed tests are under close to ideal conditions, its hardly ever you can download at the lines full capacity. |

| 1297453 | 2012-08-28 13:00:00 | Yes Chill, Cable with Telstra - Tried the New Cisco modem directly into the PC and damn near got top speed - Plugged it back into the Router, and it did drop a little, but that could be general traffic. Tried the PC in the workshop and it dropped quite a bit, almost 30Mbps. There are two switches in that loop. The old speed maxed out at 15Mbps, which is what I was on, tried this morning before the Telstra tech came. When the guy plugged in his box of tricks after climbing up the pole and making a cable change, he said - Great full speed, and the signal is as strong as its available. Ran through the same speed test /site www.telstraclear.co.nz Now its really good, dont even have time to go for a crap when downloading a Full OS from Microsoft lol ( Sorry to much info) but Hey, paying an extra $20 /month for it so may as well get it if I can,get what you pay for I guess. @ Plod -- YEP - The Max is 100 4166 @ Paul - sounds like you need a bigger data plan.WOW :dogeye: thats impressive !! Congrats. Have used a few digitus switches (4 and 8 port) in the past, seemed pretty reliable and stable, couldnt tell you about speed as there was only low data transfers across the network sorry. They are pretty cheap, so worth a shot (and on-sell it to a client if it dont perform for you haha) |

| 1297454 | 2012-08-28 22:38:00 | Tuiruru - think you better call them, as long as you are on Cable you should be faster than that - just looked and with the $75 package you should have: 15Mbps downstream / 2Mbps upstream Thanks for that Wainui I'm 7km from the exchange (by road so the cable might be longer - I'm 99% certain its copper). Is that going to account for it, or if they say it does is that just BS? |

| 1297455 | 2012-08-28 23:25:00 | Personally I'd go with Cisco (pbtech.co.nz) for switches, but an alternative would be Asus switches (pbtech.co.nz) which actually offer good performance and are nice and cheap to boot. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1297456 | 2012-08-29 00:25:00 | This is what you'll be wanting: pbtech.co.nz Chuck Gargoyle on it, sorted! :D |

| 1297457 | 2012-08-29 00:29:00 | @ Paul - sounds like you need a bigger data plan. Yeah, it's in the pipeline, but Vodafone makes you wait until 1st of the month before enabling the change. 3 more days to go, then I somehow have to cane out the new cap within the 8 days that will be left of the plan before they start the next months billing. Seems a silly system. |
