| 1164833 | 2010-12-26 05:13:00 | Ok so this has got to be the ultimate in crap!!!! We had there 5GB unlimited speed plan yet here I am now with just above the 256kbps plan and whats this with upload speed :stare: Conducted this test the last few days its been no higher than 658kbps Now I notice on the website the plan we signed up with and the price we pay no longer exists and instead you got a 5GB 256kbps plan. Want to try discussing this with slingshots Drones...yea not exactly helpful assuming you can get through. |

| 1164835 | 2010-12-26 06:11:00 | I noted it was through the same server WXC.net so as I tried it anyways and the result as follows www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net) |

| 1164836 | 2010-12-26 06:13:00 | have you gone over the 5gb cap? if not that speed is pretty poor |

| 1164837 | 2010-12-26 06:19:00 | Nope the new month rolled over on the 23rd and I got about 45GB worth data block still to be had. At this speed though chances of going over data cap is slim! | coldfront (15814) | ||
| 1164838 | 2010-12-26 06:23:00 | in your first post you said 5GB plan, now you say 45GB left????? | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1164839 | 2010-12-26 06:31:00 | I assume he meant 50GB plan. I wouldn't class those speeds as broadband, much more like narrowband. |

| 1164840 | 2010-12-26 06:54:00 | Those speeds are depressing. How anybody can live on those speeds, i'll never know. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1164841 | 2010-12-26 06:59:00 | in your first post you said 5GB plan, now you say 45GB left????? Yes 5gb Plan and I brought a 50GB Data Block that rolls over every month just in case I top the 5GB cap. Not really relevant as I have NOT gone over the Data Cap. (pretty hard to do in 3 days over christmas especially at this speed) |

| 1164842 | 2010-12-26 07:02:00 | Those speeds are depressing. How anybody can live on those speeds, i'll never know. When I first got boadband with xnet I had a 256 connection, I wish now I kept that connection the only reason I changed to slingshot was paying the same price and unlimited speed....10 months on its not looking fantastic is it. I am also wondering if there is a Phone line fault? Few months ago we had a problem of calls getting fuzzy and dropping the problem traced back to a card at the exchange. Of course now we got line rental with slingshot its a real pain to sort. |
