| 645131 | 2008-03-02 03:12:00 | I'm on the Telstraclear cable. Apart from a problem a week in, where after 3 hours on the phone they finally admitted they'd stuffed up the configuration at my end, I've been fine. |

| 645132 | 2008-03-02 03:51:00 | Well they were on Fair Go last week, due to problems. Since they have ceased being a NZ company I wouldn't recommend them. Orcon are supposed to be good, and they are Government owned. Government owned?? Where does it say that?? |

| 645134 | 2008-03-02 04:01:00 | I will stick my neck out again and say "most problems with ISP's are not Isp problems" there are soooo many variables with the internet that it is impossible to compare any ISP at any other at any particular time.If there was a way to compare how would it deal with: The age of yr local exchange,The amount of copper wire yr connection has to go thru to get to you.The number of gamers just up the road who are on line with you. I will add tho that IHUGS support is rubbish.Could a bit of the "poor performance" of the lower polling ISP's be because they are amongst the biggest so must get proportionally more complaints etc.If my neighbour has another ISP and they go to the same site as me at the same time and something is markedly different then I may look again but for someone in Auckland to say that us in Ykickamoocow are not getting "reasonable" service is not on.As a last shot I ask,How many of you complaining are forwarding all sorts of rubbish that has to go somewhere and perhaps it is stuck in the copper lines at yr gate. I don't agree in my case. When I was with Slingshot, I had constant problems (disconnections, and not being able to log back on, and slow internet in peak times). I was with them for about 1 year on their broadband plan, before I switched to Xnet. I have been with Xnet for 6 months and haven't had any problems at all with my ADSL connection. The best ISPs are those that you don't even know are there, as you have no need to contact them to report a problem. |
