674860 2008-06-02 02:00:00 Okay, so I've been searching around for good broadband deals, could anyone suggest some really good plans they are on? I'm not looking to transfer my homecalling from telecom (I need them for their competitive south pacific rates).
And I'm looking for 2mbps or higher, with a data cap of 30GB or more.
I was searching around the xtra broadband section, and for the love of god I can't find any piece of information which tells me whether they are running at 2mbps, 7mbps or higher. When ever I try to find the 'download speed' or something akin to that, I always end up at this page (www.telecom.co.nz). Is it just me or are they purposefully not disclosing the information I want..

EDIT:
Does anyone know that speeds are available on the xtra plans? Their pro plans (www.telecom.co.nz) look decent....

674862 2008-06-02 02:37:00 Hi vk_dre,
I use xtra "go" in Hamilton- average download speed is 457 kB/s- sometimes it is as high as 5.25
X net has had it's problem as per F1 last week or so---as do ALL of the ISP
The top of the line is "unlimited download cap> download " or as fast as the line will allow" and upload is around 128 for me , but with the top plan they have upload too > "as fast as ---- "
I was on Go Large plan but had to conserve money so took the above, at $ 10 cheaper. There are cheaper ISP but xtra does me well
I have no regrets whatsoever and Telecom is usually quick to answer phone calls and has remarkable success with it 's advice to me
:cool:
