| 799113 | 2009-08-07 09:26:00 | Hi All, I'm thinking of changing ISP's from Telecom to Xnet. I want to utilise the VFX solutions from Xnet to save $$ on my current phone bill. I've heard that Xnet's speed is slow during peak hours (not that Telecom is any better) and was interested in some feedback on this. Cheers all. :thanks |

| 799114 | 2009-08-07 09:45:00 | Yeah its horrible, and at some times because they wholesale off Telecom the fact that local exchanges can be overloaded even affects the internal-only VFX traffic. To be honest if you can get Orcon's + network (see orcon.net.nz), then you'll be better off with something such as Orcon & 2talk. However, if you can't, then it's definitely worthwhile going for Xnet, just try and get the best plan they have to offer with full-speed upload :) |

| 799115 | 2009-08-07 10:04:00 | Just for your info, I've just changed (two weeks ago) from Xnet to Telecom. Speed is much faster than Xnet and very stable. Very happy. | bk T (215) | ||
| 799116 | 2009-08-07 10:24:00 | Thanks for the feedback bk T. I presume u meant much faster than telecom. Just a note, i'm still on the go large plan which i'm happy with but willing to make the change to another ISP only without losing performance ... | GR8Metal (14133) | ||
| 799117 | 2009-08-07 10:40:00 | I'd presume he meant exactly what he said, His switch to Telecom has given him faster speeds. | Metla (12) | ||

| 799119 | 2009-08-07 10:54:00 | Imo orcon plans are way overpriced compared to others. I'm on xtra GO plan 6gb $39.99 a month. If you want a big data cap go with Slingshot, their $39.99 plan has 15GB data allowance. | whellington (15030) | ||

Just a note, i'm still on the go large plan which i'm happy with but willing to make the change to another ISP only without losing performance ... No,no. Telecom is far much faster than Xnet! Xnet used to be good but NOT now. I'm on the Explorer plan. |

| 799121 | 2009-08-07 11:17:00 | Yeah, sorry bk T, miss read your post... Good to hear from someone who made the change and can provide feedback. |

| 799122 | 2009-08-07 12:07:00 | No,no. Telecom is far much faster than Xnet! Xnet used to be good but NOT now. I'm on the Explorer plan. VERY big ditto on this. |
