| 767750 | 2009-04-23 04:44:00 | Hey, how bad is xnet atm? I would like to join because of their large data caps. Around 11.5gb for $45 and $3gb for $40 on telecom. Plus I could get interleaving turned off and playing on game planet severs means usage is local. So how bad are the sync speeds? I wouldnt mind getting 2mb+ (atm syncing at around 4mb) as long as my data cap is large. What do you think should I join xnet? |

| 767751 | 2009-04-23 04:52:00 | If you like slow speeds often, go for it :p Depends which plan youre on, I'm on the river plan, and capped myself at 15gb, about 40 a mth. Then it'll go down in speed Altho, I dont play games online, so dont know how good it'll be. Altho, it may not be that bad, if the server is local |

| 767755 | 2009-04-23 10:18:00 | Speedy Gonzales can you watch you tube vidoes with out it buffering? Does it ever feel like it gets down to dail up speeds when you surf the net?(uncapped) | Blackandblue (14231) | ||
| 767756 | 2009-04-23 10:34:00 | Not sure now but when I had it 2yr before the Torrent came on .. the 2Mbit speed connection I could get at my place, was fine for youtube - no buffering. I switched to 256k cos I don't really use much of the multimedia and for podcast I can just download and listen and I didn't feel good about paying the same price as anyone and just got my 1.8Mbit, yeah I got 1.8Mbit than a 2.0. |

| 767758 | 2009-04-23 13:59:00 | Blackandblue, that includes your home line, so subtract approx $45 (That you're currently paying Telecom for your line rental) and you get the "internet" price | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 767759 | 2009-04-23 21:50:00 | Xnet has good plans. Their staff seem knowledgeable and helpful. Their prices are reasonable. If this's what you wan go for it. Their speed is from slow to very slow. If you want fast and reliable speed stay away from them. eg. A download took over 2 hours in the evening and the I abandoned it. Following morning it took 23 minutes. I'm happy I switched to Orcon |
