| 871277 | 2010-03-31 04:20:00 | Thanks for Trev suggesting to me, I have been looking at getting away from Xnet. With Xnet, ok maybe there were improvements on my line via the 3yrs. 3yr ago, I managed under 2Mbps. Hence I downgraded to their 256k speed. Now, with Actrix I get over 4Mbps :thumbs: Cannot wait to June when they wire us to ADSL2+ :clap Their $29.95 is great FS/128, same price as Xnet but at 256/128. Email changes done. Webhost deleted off Xnet prior to the transfer. Same day transfer, wow !! www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net) Earlier today I did a speedtest with Xnet, I was roughly at 256/128 as I expected on my lines with my previous internet plan but the ping was 150ms. |

Will do that for sure :) According to the Wholesale Telecom website, we get in June 2010. Some of them around my area have to wait to Dec 2011 :rolleyes: we are about 1km away from Telstra. I know areas which are cheaper places and they already have ADSL2+ but they also have the Telstra cables laid out too .. |

| 871284 | 2010-03-31 04:42:00 | Hey just checked the wholesale site and it says that I am now in a 10 Mbps zone. But when I last checked the website there was no 10 mbps zone near me. Any ideas? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 871285 | 2010-03-31 04:45:00 | Does Actrix have a usage monitor utility? Why is it some ISPs now say FS is up to 4.5Mbit, but a few yrs ago, Telecom were advertising 7Mbit? |

| 871286 | 2010-03-31 04:48:00 | when you have a FLS/128 plan ISPs all limit the speed to 4-5 mbps. Something to do with TCP/IP. due to the way TCP/IP works a 128k upload limit will limit the download rate to ~4-4.5mbps. Can you login and see it like xnet? |
