1130061 2010-08-20 22:12:00 Am wanting to set up a new broadband account to upload CCTV files – which ISP would have the best pricing for this type of connection? Not wanting much if any downloading – just as fast as possible uploading and a reasonable amount of data.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

1130062 2010-08-20 22:20:00 Most any ADSL2+ connection will give you around 800kbps, that enough? Go with any but Telstraclear or xnet.

1130063 2010-08-20 22:48:00 Yes think that should be enough. Out of interest - why not those 2 ISPs?!
Thanks

1130064 2010-08-20 23:05:00 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

1130066 2010-08-20 23:13:00 Um, Chills, I've never had to wait longer than 20 mins with TC.
Excellent service in my experience.

I don't consider having to wait 20 mins excellent service.

Hmm. Some people don't have issues with Xnets speeds. And I rnag TC the other on behalf - rang the complaints number - still gives a menu but it was answered in 30 seconds.
