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...

Woah thats a high ping. 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.
