| 471565 | 2006-07-17 10:02:00 | Getting far to sick of telecom, and Xnet looks like an appealing alternative. Just some questions: Is xnet reliable as an ISP and with customer support? How strict are they in enforcing 64k speed when you exceed your cap? And how reliable is it in deciding what is national and what is international data? The Actrix daily plans look interesting as well. If anyone with them maybe they could answer the first 2 questions. Cheers. |

| 471566 | 2006-07-17 10:08:00 | I signed up with Xnet around 4-5 months ago, have been very pleased. I've used the tech phone support a couple of times when I had issues with mine & my in laws speed & both times they sorted it within pretty resonable times considering it's really a Telecom issue. Billing has been a bit slack with them forgetting to take of the connection fee but nothing a quick phone call couldn't sort. Im still enjoying my 3 free months as well for signing others up ;) Cheers KiwiMR2 |

They forgot to charge my connection fee and first 2 months of service :D They cut your speed back pretty damn quickly, it's within a matter of minutes really. And there is no issue with their national traffic, almost everything I get from national is counted as national. Usually manage ~50GB nat in a month :) |

The Actrix daily plans look interesting as well. If anyone with them maybe they could answer the first 2 questions. Cheers. I have no hesitation is recommending Xnet/WxC for internet/tolls. Signed up for broadband with them in November, and my combined internet/tolls bill for the last 8 months has been about $50, after the credits for signing up others have been applied. Customer service is prompt and friendly. For the first time, last week I went over my cap - it was only a 1GB cap, though (have just discovered torrents), and the restriction came on as soon as it ticked over 1024MB international. But 64kbps is a constant steady stream, and can't really compare to dial-up. It IS slower, obviously, but general browsing isn't affected too badly. I'm about to move up to the $42.95 2mb/10gig plan, so shouldn't have to suffer too much in the future. Xnet have a "FriendXchange" deal going, where if you mention a current Xnet customer's name/number they get a $50 credit for "referring you". There are plenty of people round here on Xnet (including myself, DanielF, Roddyboy, KiwiMR2) - if you go with Xnet, PM one of us for our details. Cheers Lizard |

| 471569 | 2006-07-17 21:58:00 | I have been with Actrix for 4 years and have no complaints. I'm on the 700mb a day plan and have got up to 760mb before being capped. Trevor :) |
