555860 2007-06-06 13:32:00 Mine is Slingshot for just on a year. but lately i find after 7pm I drop from 4Mb to a mere 130 - 630 kbs.

Is this normal???

It pisses me off because it will stay like that until about 5am.


Next provider please...

Its Normal but in your case is alot worse

When I was SlingShot at the start of the year.It was constant 3.5mbps then suddenly drop to 500kbps and 800ms ping.After 12am it went back to normal.Sometimes I think it got better at 2am in the morning

I got fed up because it happened everyday and went to xnet.Never had a problem again and my speed became faster

The helpdesk were stumped, so as my contract runs out at the end of this month I will try Xnet. Seem everytime a provider gets 'provider of the year' they seem to go downhill:waughh:

Oh well, thats my rant for the week lol:D

6 months - dialup before that
Excellent service

It was the natural choice as it is a Manawatu based ISP
