| 1130074 | 2010-08-21 03:29:00 | If you have the option of TelstraClear cable in your area, then that's the winner. My typical upload rate is usually pretty much on the advertised 2Mbps (just did Speedtest.net - 7.15Mbps down/1.83Mbps up). Apart from a few random disconnection hiccups in the first month I went onto cable, the service hasn't disconnected since - a couple of years now of rock-solid broadband. So must admit I haven't had the opportunity to deal with their customer support for a while - but at least they can't pass the buck onto Telecom if they operate the cable... |

| 1130075 | 2010-08-21 07:15:00 | Xnet used to be one of the top recommendations around here, now it's avoid avoid avoid. Switched from Xnet to Slingshot. Loving it. |

| 1130076 | 2010-08-21 07:29:00 | Now the majority of the torrenting riff-raff are off Xnet, it is great. Always been pretty good here though. If you feel really foolish, go to Xtra and prove it. ;-) |

| 1130077 | 2010-08-21 12:08:00 | xnet have the worst record for throughput of any ISP, and the helpdesk / customer service of telstraclear is bad, it's never less than a 45 minute wait, and I'm not exaggerating.. check you can get ADSL2+ by going to telecomwholesale.co.nz :pf1mobmini: Just wondering what you mean Xnet and throughput being the worst? I am currently using them and they have had their problems, but they are currently OK, although I am always looking at better options. I think many of the high users went from xnet to telecoms big time plan, which is why xnet has improved. Now they are searching for another, and are looking at slingshot and worldnet who are the only ones who now have unlimted pans, just hope they don't return to xnet. |

| 1130078 | 2010-08-21 12:26:00 | You may be right. When it comes to the high-volume plans, it really is a moving target ... :pf1mobmini: |
