| 665331 | 2008-05-03 05:17:00 | I am currently looking for a replacement ISP to Xnet, after the problems with slow international website loading. Can anyone recommend one that uses a similar pricing model. I usually use less than 10GB, but sometimes use 15GB per month, depending on how much work I am doing. I also heard that orcon are having similar problems. It doesn't matter if they charge a churn fee, as I can set it up on a new line, so it can be setup as a new connection. TIA |

| 665332 | 2008-05-03 05:32:00 | also avoid Snap, they are having the same problems as Xnet. | stu161204 (123) | ||
| 665333 | 2008-05-03 06:09:00 | I think you'll find most ISPs are having the same problem. We are with Xnet and have the problem. As you have said Orcon are too and Snap. Also Xtra and iHug. |

| 665334 | 2008-05-03 06:40:00 | Also Xtra Xtra's not having any international speed issues, As far as I am aware (although I am on Go Large). |

| 665335 | 2008-05-03 06:55:00 | changed from ihug to snap recently, international websites 24/7 are okay, naturally not as good during the peak which is generally 7pm to 11pm.. but otherwise no complaints.. i changed from ihug to snap because of snap night owl's unlimited data not because of speed issues. as previously mentioned.. i think generally most isp's will have the same international speed issues. |

It's interesting though to read on Geekzone about the difference between a static and dynamic IP on Xnet last night at 9.30pm. |

| 665337 | 2008-05-03 09:37:00 | Xtra's not having any international speed issues, As far as I am aware (although I am on Go Large). My in-laws are on Xtra and they have been having problems with international sites at peak times as well. |

| 665338 | 2008-05-03 09:54:00 | Maybe have a look at ICONZ Full speed 15GB $69.95. A few dollars more than Xnet plan. |

A friend of mine, on Xtra, and I did some simultaneous speed tests between 8.00 and 8.15pm. Xtra d/l speeds were 2188 and 2162kb/s. Xnet speeds were 496 and 468kb/s. |
