Check out Paradise, World-net, Web Internet etc. There are heaps of others which I can't remember at the moment. Especially don't touch Xtra if you want Jetstart as this is slower than dialup. |

| 43919 | 2002-04-15 08:42:00 | My Jetstart is far faster than my dial up. Epecially handy for Multiplayer Games. Most of the time my Dial Up couldn't manage getting into any servers. When I did get into a server I would have a lag of around 350-575ms now I get 80-90ms (Connecting to a New Zealand server) I've seen far faster connections then my little Jetstart DSL but anything was better then Dial Up. |

| 43921 | 2002-04-15 08:52:00 | Don't forget to check the data limits. As far as I know, all ISPs except Xtra charge per meg once you use a certain amount. Granted, 10 gig or so is a lot, but the idea of Jetstart was it was a slower, *flat rate* option. Xtra has no download limits. I looked at changing to another ISP but didn't want to run the risk of going over the allocated data... | Guest (0) | ||
