| 818795 | 2009-10-13 17:19:00 | I'd be interested to hear how you go. Prior to switching I ran 100 pings to about 5-6 major sites in NZ & Australia. I also ran traceroutes 100x to each :) Interesting comparing that from my old to my new connection. As for raw throughput, its easy to attain my max linespeed, even during peak times :) |

There is wide spread dissaticfaction with Big Time. It is a lechers type plan heavily Traffic shaped. Good for leeching, poor for gaming with many people reporting really poor performance in the early evening on Youtube etc. If you are happy with it great, but a lot of people arnt. Not sure why you posted all that DSL 101 stuff, but its not wrong. |

| 818800 | 2009-10-15 03:04:00 | what "fud" am i spreading? Because you're not actually on it are you? It is a lechers type plan heavily Traffic shaped. Good for leeching, poor for gaming No, wrong! In fact if you contact Telecom they will advise that they're in fact prioritizing gaming slightly compared with certain types of traffic. Have you spoken with Telecom at all about what they *are* actually shaping at what they aren't? Or have you just listened to people moan who really don't have much of a clue? with many people reporting really poor performance in the early evening on Youtube etc. Yes, quite possibly my only gripe is international video streaming. Even unpopular YouTube videos have been fast for me though, it's only the high definition videos that take a turn for the worse in the early evening, due to the limited amount of international traffic they have set aside for the plan. If you are happy with it great, but a lot of people arnt. Not sure why you posted all that DSL 101 stuff, but its not wrong. Many people don't know the different between a kilobit and a kilobyte either. It's also quite interesting, as TiVo / Telecom are both recommending you jump on their BigTime plan for streaming TV to your place, so if they didn't have the infrastructure in place to provide HD video over your broadband, do you really think they'd be promoting it, knowing that they cannot deliver? |

I have never had Aids either. I will however trust those who have Aids enough to realise its probably not something I want lol. Forum are great for feedback. No I dont think the 100's of people that are in various threads moaning about Bigtime are ALL idiots and you are entirety right sorry, everyone is entitled to offer there feedback on a product. To be 100% clear there ARE people happy with Big time, but there are a crap load of people that arnt, the proportion of those that arnt happy appears substantial, I can't be more diplomatic than that. Those looking to swap just need to do there homework. |

| 818803 | 2009-10-16 00:34:00 | Why not go to Xnet and be annoyed about the possible results? A while ago people were advising to do that as I saw it. |
