722858 2008-11-25 08:05:00 Is this for everybody else? I use to be on ihug and it didn't decrease THIS MUCH at around this time...I'm downloading at 4kb/s and can't update my wc3 lawl. Xypher (14353)

722860 2008-11-25 08:35:00 It does go slow after a certain time. Not much Xnet are going to do about it

They blame congestion, and the amount of people on at that time

I'm nowhere near my cap and its usually slower after 6 (sometimes earlier) every day

What Xnet plan are you on??? If your on the Torrent plan, then its may be worth to swap to a different plan

722862 2008-11-25 10:12:00 Its not only the torrent plan users who have the overseas bandwidth prob

It probably applies to the other plans as well. I'm on the river plan, and its slower (downloading) than a snail sometimes

It's probably because of the torrent plan

Because it was fine, then things went downhill, when Xnet brought in the torrent plan

722863 2008-11-25 10:14:00 Im on the River plan, no issues here. Downloads frequently reach 600KB/s+

That said, started a download just half an hour ago, its been sitting steadily around 120-140KB/s, usually would be faster from this source but oh well, the speeds still *much* better than I was getting with Ihug / Vodafone. Had been an Ihug customer 11 years, no regrets leaving them now after the way the service deteriorated since approx Jan this year ;)

722864 2008-11-25 18:23:00 I know I'm going to get flamed for this but what the heck - you should change to Xtra. No such problems with them. LOL

If you have to pay $99 to join or pay some stupid fee, forget it

Thats why I went to Xnet.

And why I didnt stay with Ihug

I would disagree. Its not bad, pity they don't have one for other data limits. But Orcon had already been offering the same thing.
