| 745148 | 2009-02-05 08:23:00 | Not blameing anyone Sweep. People give recomendations, based on their experience. They can't be blamed if others have different experiences. Anyway I can't remember who mentioned Orcon. |

| 745149 | 2009-02-05 08:27:00 | It wasn't me that suggested Orcon It was suggested by someone though but only if JJJJ was in Auckland as Orcon have their own equipment in the exchanges and can supply a faster connection. JJJJ is in Rororua so he should have picked up on that. |

| 745150 | 2009-02-05 08:36:00 | www.speedtest.net Still with Xtra BTW. I remember some who would recommend Xnet. I have no idea what you are doing but maybe using Flightsim on line. Just a guess here. Time you and others looked at a flightsim server in NZ possibly. |

Jack does not remember what led him to go with Orcon and I personally have no idea why he did this. I have no idea why Jack made the decision he did. But the title of this thread indicates that he does not know. |

| 745152 | 2009-02-05 08:50:00 | I recommended Orcon, but I recommended contacting the ISPs to find out what the deal was with them wholesaling off Telecom first. Did you do that? I agree with Erayd, although their customer service was quite good for us, its their network you'd be signing up for ;) |

The sales chap I spoke to was very convincing. It sounded like I was on to a winner. Of course their broadband may be excellant and normaly I don't worry about their help or support. But they put me right off when they couldn't connect me in a week. And no indication of when they would. So I'm still with xnet |

| 745156 | 2009-02-05 21:34:00 | I decided to switch to Orcon last week. I have spoken to them three times by phone. Dunb buggers know nothing. "It's being processed" is the best I can get out of them. You just need to talk to the right people: www.orcon.net.nz Firdosh (Fred) Wadia Head of Provisioning Email Firdosh (Fred) DDI: +64 9 550 1617 and Russell'll get someone to look after you personally: Russell Sobotker Operations Manager Email Russell DDI: +64 9 550 1600 Mobile: +64 21 244 2575 Tell Russell you know me and he'll be right onto it. PM me.......... They have a lot of staff now and of course it varies but these 2 will be the ones to talk to. Fred for your new connection and Russell is overall Supervisor. Then you get good service. My son had an issue getting connected - turned out his wiring was a mess, so Orcon credited him $65 for the delay....... |
