and check this out. www.speedtest.net
For the past week it has been like this timing out my downloads bring them to a complete halt and it has just been slow. Is it my computer or our ISP because we emailed them and they said they are not stopping our downloads i think they are talking crap i think it is them. Or am i wrong our ISP is Xtra and our plan is go large
Thanks

Well xtra say if you download too much on go large they'll slow you down, but they also say they'll contact you if that happens, and I'm sure they'd tell you if they had when you called them.

What is your usual download speed, and what is your connection speed of your router?

Xtra won't slow you down on GoLarge, if you download too much, and they won't contact you if you download too much either.

They "manage" GoLarge at peak times. I find I have to download stuff after midnight and before 9am to get any decent speeds.

Also, welcome to Xtra and the mysteries of NZ's BB speeds and service.

Looks like they updated their T&C then....
