Also ISP's have to follow the CGA supplied as a service.

663562 2008-04-30 02:15:00 Well downloads are VERY fast for xnet this a.m. (10-now) am getting about 185k on various sites, and youtube is very fast.
Yet last nite round midnight it was slower than EVER.
Very hard to understand.

663564 2008-04-30 03:26:00 For those people on xnet getting fast downloads via nvidia/microsoft/apple its becuase xnet hosts a local akamai server, so the data you are downloading is not coming from nvidia/MS/apple, but from xnet here in NZ dirtbag (6060)

Hey Jack you're stealing our bandwidth! ;)

Is this during peak hours? There's been speculation on the Geekzone forums that some lucky people are being used to test a solution.

Better than I expected after last nite. Tests to Sydney not much better...
But test NZ servers and ... www.speedtest.net

Does this mean xnet does not provide decent international service? Thats not good as 80% of my traffic is international and they charge me for it.

Strange how ytube is fast during the day... maybe the servers they use are not up to the peak times of US users...?


I hope xnet keeps a copy of sorceforge too as I intend using it a lot....
