839903 2009-12-16 17:44:00 I would look at Telecom Wratty, i'm sure that's where you will find the problem gary67 (56)
839904 2009-12-16 18:03:00 Ah not specifically? I'm on Big Time and it's not throttled here.

What speeds are you sync'ing at? Modem make / model?

839905 2009-12-16 19:12:00 I have IDM installed so if a video on a site starts buffering I hit the download button, wait 10-20 sec and then watch it on VLC. xyz823 (13649)
839906 2009-12-16 19:16:00 Doesn't help for live content streaming though ;) Chilling_Silence (9)
839907 2009-12-16 21:14:00 Doesn't help for live content streaming though ;)

839908 2009-12-16 23:33:00 Why? It's generally pretty darn good?

Here's the inside scoop from Telecom:
They want users to be able to enjoy streaming video and things like that, but they *don't* want to encourage P2P ... What can't you stream?

839909 2009-12-17 03:19:00 Does anyone know if telecom manages usage on all of new zealand or is it individual towns/exchanges?

Streaming and torrenting in chch seems to be pretty rubbish, general browsing is mint

839910 2009-12-17 03:25:00 I know for a fact that if they're doing any form of management on other non-bigtime plans, it's definitely *not* the same as they do for bigtime

Are you on an ADSL2+ connection right now hueybot3000? Or ADSL1? Streaming generally blows on ADSL1...

839912 2009-12-17 05:24:00 Ah see Cable is *totally* different to ADSL.... ;)

That's a good question, what's your modem?
