| 818805 | 2009-10-16 03:59:00 | Spreading FUD...Fear, Uncertainty...Doubt....If you dont have Big Time, you are just spreading 2nd hand rumours and hearsay Battleneter!....cant put it much clearer.... I was on the Go Large Plan. Performance was from great to poor, but I knew this would be the case. (96Mb file 180 min to down load) Gaming ping was from 300 to 1000ns for WOW, not great but for me playable. When I got the letter notifiying me of the change in plan, I phoned Telecom on the 13th and asked if the Big Time plan will be that same or better perforance then Go Large. I was told is will be better as its ADSL2+ optimised. I was on this new plan for 3 days but have now changed plans again. It's ping time in WOW between 1000 and 12000ns. It became unplayable and kept kicking me of the server. Using speed test to check the down loads, it was a lot better. So those thinking of the changing, do so if you are BIG on down loads. But if you also like to play online games, STAY AWAY. Telecom should not be selling this product to gamers, and make it clear to the Go Large customers that its overall perfromace could be less then Go Large. Over all, I don't recommend it at all for those thinking of changing to Big Time. |

| 818806 | 2009-10-16 06:17:00 | WoW servers are not in NZ are they? Without actually seeing any results, it's realistically just "hear-say" of your "feeling" of the ping times. Have you actually been switched *from* Big Time yet? I'm on Big Time, and just last night when gaming I had DownThemAll pulling in 4 different files at over 500KB/sec (combined total), another download coming in via SCP at 50KB/sec, my wife had two downloads coming in at around 40-60KB/sec each via SCP AND I was hosting a flawless game of Warcraft III last night! So, with that in mind, can I suggest you try the following: pastie.org Copy / Paste that in to Notepad, go File --> Save As "ping.bat" (Include the speech marks) Would be interested to see how it goes ;) |

| 818807 | 2009-10-16 20:11:00 | Thanks for the reply and yes the servers are overseas. My 'hear-say' is from my personal experience that I have had in the past 3 days of using Big Time and compared it with my old plan Go Large. With in WOW ping time has increase 10 fold (lastnight 20 000ns). File down loads are faster with Go Large. I should now be on telecoms 10g plan as it was change over at midnight and ping time so far is now around 400ns for WOW. When you look at the perfomance of the two porduct and what I was using it for, Big Time plan was no better then Go Large as Telecom said it should be. Do you still wan't me to perfrom the Ping Test on my current plan? Thanks |

| 818808 | 2009-10-16 20:38:00 | Wasn't it 4m/128k? The (Go Large) plan is FS/128k, but because of the way TCP works you won't ever get more than about 4.7Mb/sec downstream, because that's about what it takes to saturate your 128k upload channel with ACK packets. UDP is a different story. |

| 818810 | 2009-10-17 02:34:00 | 20 second ping times are not likely the issue of Big Time. Nice try though 20,000ns == 20ms. You misread the unit :p. |

| 818812 | 2009-10-17 04:03:00 | My YouTube / Streaming Video in-general has taken a turn for the worse. Mind checking the likes of this video: tvnz.co.nz Telecom reckon its either the Interleaving on my line (Umm ... no!), the tvnz ondemand website (Again, never been an issue there before), or they want me to try switching to the Adventure plan (Yeah right!). Other than that, I'm stoaked :D |
