| 1258213 | 2012-02-09 03:06:00 | I spoke with HD about that when I rang the other day, apparently they're building some kick-ass system but they're still testing it all, should be coming shortly I'm told. In the mean time, I've got my 2talk VoIP line :) |

| 1258218 | 2012-02-09 21:11:00 | Still no action from Orcon. The phone receives but will not send. Makes line engaged signal, so I am using Skype to phone out. Broadband currently at 14Mbps, but periodically drops to about .7Mbps until I reset the Modem. Very annoying when in the middle of updating a large website! | mzee (3324) | ||
| 1258219 | 2012-02-09 21:38:00 | Are you dealing with the Assurance team at Orcon or stuck at the Tier1 call centre guys? | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1258220 | 2012-02-11 20:25:00 | Just out of curiosity. What is "Naked" DSL? Over the past 20 years I have tried pretty well every ISP in the country. Most of them I rate between aweful and bloody aweful. Three years ago I switched to ORCON on Chills recomendation. As far as I am concerned they are the best by far. For years I was told I was getting the fastest speed avaiable. 3500 KBPS. With orcon my download speed jumped to over 1200 KBPS, and it never varies. On the rare occasions I have 'phoned their help desk I have never had to wait more than a minute to get help.And their staff actualy knows more than I do. A couple of months ago my router started playing up. I 'phoned them and received a new one the following day. The only complaint I have is their charges. I pay $128 a month for internet and telephone which includes free toll calls. Still I'm more than happy with them. Jack |

| 1258221 | 2012-02-11 21:04:00 | Naked DSL means you don't have a standard phone line anymore, the phone works over the broadband instead. We have Xnets's version called fusion and our normal house phone is plugged directly into the router. The only real advantages are it's slightly cheaper and we get caller ID without any extra cost and so far the service has been very good | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1258222 | 2012-02-13 06:44:00 | I'm with Slingshot. I have recently switched to them for phone service as well as broadband. I pay per month: $40 for 50GB $42 for phone line I have used them for broadband and tolls for many years. Always had superb service. Ditto |
