| 501799 | 2006-11-24 23:44:00 | I thought they would be forced to change their max/128k plan because it is not even theoretically possible to get max download speed when you only have 128k upload speed. | Greven (91) | ||

Something about sending packets back to the place you are downloading from to tell it how much you have D/L. If it can't get it quick enough it well slow down your D/L speed. Trevor :) |

| 501802 | 2006-11-25 03:33:00 | I was thinking of complaining myself actually, good to see I don't have to . It doesn't get much more misleading than: UNLIMITED INTERNET *But only 200MB per hour, and only 700MB per day, and only if your line *cough our network* allows it, which it doesn't . Especially when one has to look on their website to even see such conditions . |

| 501804 | 2006-11-25 04:05:00 | Its happened before . When XTRA 1st started (dial up,before broadband) their internet speed was so slow as to be unusable . The commerce comission procecuted them for misleading advertising (They advertised as having fast internet) . Seems to me that the best way to stop the masses using VOIP is to cripple broadband . |

| 501806 | 2006-11-25 04:58:00 | If you have 128k upload the theoretical speed you can get if you had fullspeed download is 4mbit. You need at least 256k upload to get real fullspeed 7.5mbit. If you go over 4mbits then its just burstable and usually not stable. | trinsic (6945) | ||
