488099 2006-09-29 12:18:00 Anybody hooked up with Orcon, they advertise at $10 cheaper than Xtra for 256K download. What is Orcon like-I mean slow-good-excellant broadband-any catches, any minimum amount of tolls per month etc.
Any feedback appreciated.

488100 2006-09-29 20:57:00 Generally Orcon has a good reputation, here on PF1. I checked their plans 6 weeks ago but went with Slingshot instead since their 256 plan gives 3 Gb of data rather than Orcon's 1 Gb (maybe it was 2 Gb). Slingshot has been good and I don't think you will find a better 256k deal. Strommer (42)

I guess they are talking about Orcon :confused:

also if we are talking about Orcon are they traffic shaping on FTP?

488104 2006-10-01 06:05:00 A while ago I was considering Orcon as well. Went with Slingshot (though Im on the 3.5 Mbps with 10GB download limit). Had one problem so far (in 2 months) that required helpdesk, the guy I spoke to seemed quite knowledgeable and we eventually got issue resolved :) Myth (110)
