I am seriously thinking about moving Broadband/Tolls over to xnet.
Is it a headache to do this ? And how long will I be without broadband with the switch over.

thanks

483423 2006-09-09 01:08:00 I recently switched from Xtra to Xnet. I was without connection for an hour and a half.

My brother was down for a whole weekend but that was because Telecom had some stuff-up with a whole bunch of changeovers and couldn't be reached until Monday.

483424 2006-09-09 01:35:00 I switched from Orcon to Xnet a while ago. I didn't have any downtime at all.

When I switched, there was a small tiem window where I could connect with either Xnet or Orcon. I thought that Telecom had to physically change something when you switched ADSL providers, but that can't be the case or I wouldn't have been able to conect with orcon once I was switched over.

483428 2006-09-17 00:36:00 i am after a ISP which allows 20gb min data allowance and speed of 256/128 or +. any ISP which offer this for less than $50
other than ihug. i have started to get real sh*** speeds with ihug since past 1 mounth..enough is enough.

Have a look at this thread: pressf1.co.nz as it has a few sites in there that you could compeer ISP & see if there are any ISP’s that give you 20gb for less then $50 (You will be very very lucky to find an ISP that does that)


i have started to get real sh*** speeds with ihug since past 1 mounth..enough is enough.

Don’t forget it could be the exchange your connected to is overload or is having issues.

Hope this is off some help :)
