649553 2008-03-27 06:42:00 Hi, is anyone else having same problem downloading speed from overseas servers is pathetic, it been 3 weeks now that im lucky if i get more than 20kb.

Before that my minimum download speed let say from rapidshare would be 50kb.

BTW. im with orcon. Ping and loading pages is fast also speedtest is fast as.


Dude exactly the same with me. I have fast national speeds according to nzdsl .co.nz/speedtest but sure slow (around 70kbps DOWN) speeds when checkign international nodes in Aus and London etc from speedtest.net.
Orcon here too.

Currently Orcon is asking me to try another modem which is BS....

649554 2008-03-27 06:44:00 Yea they asked me the same..its bull****, i know for sure that other guys on their good* plans dont have problems..so it has to be the zeroshock plan or who knows. It is annoying that this is going on for a month and they want their money regardless. ableton (8802)

Good luck them trying to get my money. I would say its been more like 1.5 months now.

649556 2008-03-27 07:08:00 Zeroshock here too. To think they have been telling me that my problem has been a unique case. Honkidore (13512)
649557 2008-03-27 08:34:00 suggestion: im thinking of joining snap. they have a night owl plan which is unlimited fs/128 between 7pm and 7am. i can handle that, can set my rapidshare downloads to run between those times, leave the other time for just surfing Term_X (560)

649559 2008-05-20 10:24:00 Hi just been searching for an answer re slow speeds with orcon!

I signed up for the free homeline last year and all was good now during the evening I get about 5kbps on each download with up to 10 totalling 50 max.
They fed me a load of BS telling me that it was a problem with a router that has now been fixed. this started about 3/4 weeks ago.

Time to change ISP I think

that is very tempting . . .

Never heard of them before though . .

Snap are based in Chch, used to be called Netaccess back in my day, then they merged with Inet also chch based to become Snap .

I used to work there and they are a damn good bunch of people . no hesitation recommending them .
