| 751886 | 2009-02-28 01:00:00 | I have noticed that they are less reliable - ie . , email and webpage not opening up or even a connection . When I have gone over my limit, that a webpage on PC World can take over 30 seconds to open, and times I need to keep pressing the refresh button . There does not appear to be any other ISP which go with pay as you go . Ie . , If I pay for a 5GB plan, if I use less than that, I get no refund and the GB are not carried to the next month . The most annoying thing is no response in the midst of opening a webpage . |

| 751887 | 2009-02-28 01:56:00 | Ever since the torrent plan thats been happening, I'm not with Xnet, but I've heard about their problems lately... | Blam (54) | ||
| 751888 | 2009-02-28 02:26:00 | Next best ISP is? I'm with Xnet and it's pissing me off. What I do like however with Xnet is that the bill is payed in arrears and you only pay for what you actually use. |

| 751889 | 2009-02-28 02:26:00 | I have no idea what I am doing wrong, but I don't get these problems. :waughh: How should I change the set-up to get these sporty tricks? :confused: If I had set up with a cap that I was likely to exceed, I would not be too surprised at getting dial-up speeds on passing the limit. If it bothers you, why not just get the cap raised, or abolish it altogether?:clap |

| 751890 | 2009-02-28 02:33:00 | Firstly, tell me what you are doing wrong, so that I can do wrong as well. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
| 751891 | 2009-02-28 05:19:00 | No probs here. i do get the telecom outages though that ultimately take the net. Speeds have been awesome. And Im suprised noones grumbled about telecom uping their phoneline prices again... |

I wouldn't play any game with a ping like that. Are you using US servers? I was getting 90-120 pings on New Zealand servers playing Day of Defeat Source. I emailed xnet and got them to turn off interleaving, my ping went down by 30-40 points. |

| 751894 | 2009-02-28 09:14:00 | Have noticed (especially on XBL) that Xnet has been slower recently. I remember when I could easily get 7 - 10mb down, now I'm lucky to get 3 - 5. Also XBL has been lagging pretty bad even on NZ/Aus servers. Next best ISP? There isn't one? I still really like Xnet, however it's not as good as it was this time last year. |
