| 618223 | 2007-12-05 21:06:00 | Xnet's OK. Dont know about any other ISP tho. Depends who you're with, I guess. Altho I dont play games online. I just download files , and browse different sites. |

| 618224 | 2007-12-05 21:11:00 | With Slingshot, not getting the usual disconnections as before and the speed has been really good, even at night during peak hours. Happy for now :thumbs: | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 618225 | 2007-12-05 21:15:00 | Just killed my slingshot. Paying way too much for broadband and only recieving barely faster then dial up speeds. Xnet is doing awesome. |

| 618226 | 2007-12-05 21:16:00 | How do you defend "improved"?? The only thing that has changed over the last year is that unbundling the local loop has started & that there is at lest two ISP’s (Slingshot & Kiwilink) that has started offering Naked DSL. Although the price for Naked DSL does not look all that great :( & I think sticking with a home phone line will be better then going with Naked DSL Also Xnet seems still to be the poplar ISP, even after they had speed issues. |

| 618228 | 2007-12-05 21:58:00 | Some ISPs, like Xnet are doing OK by the looks of it. Xtra is still sucking ass as ever. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 618229 | 2007-12-06 02:45:00 | Some ISPs, like Xnet are doing OK by the looks of it. Xtra is still sucking ass as ever. I might ask what their customer base is sometime. My thoughts are that they don't have a lot and network traffic would be considerably less than the likes of Orcon or Slingshot. |

| 618230 | 2007-12-06 07:17:00 | I guess the real question is how far are we from the leading countries? | WestMclaren2004 (7303) | ||
| 618231 | 2007-12-06 11:32:00 | I guess the real question is how far are we from the leading countries? Very far behind compared to places like the USA etc… |
