| 342862 | 2005-04-10 07:34:00 | The quality of service is in control of woosh. You can do nothing on it. And I just wonder woosh deliberately provides low standard service in dialup speed or their equipment can not achieve that? I found some other companies, they will specify what exactly speed about dialup after capped. Why woosh not? wireless is new technology, but it's not customers' responsibility to know what it can not do. | wayne_no1 (7838) | ||

| 342864 | 2005-04-10 11:55:00 | I just hope everyone that when you are using "most people" in comment, please show me the evidences to support what you say. Otherwise, stop using it. You can not represent "most people" in NZ. Most NZ people are living in Auckland, not rural area or countryside. If you don't have chocolate to eat, then just watch ! | davidakl (7837) | ||
| 342865 | 2005-04-10 12:23:00 | Oh come on! I have only lived in Auckland so one would think I know more about Auckland than anywhere else in NZ. You are just adding to the arrogance that many nonAKLers say we have. "If you don't have chocolate to eat, then just watch" I'm sorry to say, but that is just plain sad. Bit more consideration for the human race please? This is the last post I'm going to post here. Can we take our 'discussion' offline onto PMs? Looks like you can't be bothered replying to my messages but can be bothered posting in public just to stir me up. |

| 342866 | 2005-04-10 14:00:00 | Download a few large files and tell us what the average speed is in KB/sec. I would guess 4 to 7. That is dial up speed. |

| 342867 | 2005-04-10 15:16:00 | Download a few large files and tell us what the average speed is in KB/sec. I would guess 4 to 7. That is dial up speed. I had already downloaded some large files(90MB) before, it always goes up and down between 4KB/sec and 4.4KB/sec. I don't mind that the speed drops down to 3KB/sec or even 2KB/sec during peak hours, but it is always between 4KB/sec and 4.4KB/sec 24hours/7days, that is the reason why I said "Woosh saved me from dialup hell, then put me into another hell". You can even say 2KB/sec is dial up speed, as Wayne_no1 said "the quality of service is in control of Woosh". I am just tell people how I felt about using Woosh dialup speed. |

| 342868 | 2005-04-10 15:27:00 | So happy that Techie gave up finally. I'm really hope that someone can tell me where to find out what "most people in NZ" can get from dialup speed. Then I will stop grumbling here. | davidakl (7837) | ||
| 342869 | 2005-04-10 19:47:00 | I had already downloaded some large files(90MB) before, it always goes up and down between 4KB/sec and 4.4KB/sec. Well congratulations.... We've all worked together on this one for some time and i think between all our work we've finally established that if you use up your woosh hi speed quota, that your connection gets dropped down to something that falls in the dial-up range of speeds. ;) .................which can vary up to 56Kbps. I suspect that the terms of use may have said something to that effect. Just for fun i'm going to look them up too. Hey wow, here it all is on the FAQ page!! :thumbs: ! Customer feedback has indicated that our customer prefer the certainty of knowing how much your bill we be every month, without any surprises around excess megabyte charges. That's why our plans now have speed limiting to dial up speeds, once you exceed your high speed data allowance. You know for next time now ey? :D But wait... there's more! You can always increase your high-speed data cap within a given 30 day period. Woosh now offer "Woosh Top Up" so you can top up your high speed data allowance by 500MB during the month and maintain your high speed connection.--------------- *All woosh quotes taken from: www.woosh.com |

Then I will stop grumbling here.I have already told you when I said I would guess 4 to 7. That is dial up speed.The higher side of this range would be on a good day. |
