613061 2008-11-26 07:33:00 I just can't believe there are still people singing Xnet's praises. If you think I am the one talking crap visit this site (www.geekzone.co.nz) and be prepared for an hour plus of reading the MANY threads bemoaning the lack of International bandwidth in the evenings. It is a dog. If you think YT buffering every second (I am not kidding) is OK then good luck to you.

Telecom/XTRA have really made big efforts in the support area. I was impressed by my joining experience and the help given to a friend of mine.

613062 2008-11-26 07:53:00 I’ve been with kinect for over 12 months now and have never have had any SPAM or problems.

They are a subsidiary of Trust Power, but I don’t think are available in all areas.

Anyway, having been with Xtra & Clear these guys win hands down, be it speed, plans or service. :thumbs:

613063 2008-11-26 08:34:00 I am with Clear and have not had a problem at all.
The fact is Xtra now offer a better deal.Or so it seems.

The last time in this thread was about a year ago.

The usual run of events is: Small ISP X gets heaps of praise so all the disaffected rush off to join it and the increased load drags it down until another ISP starts to look good. Then the cycle repeats.

613065 2008-11-26 08:54:00 Xtra - don't make me laugh .

Telstra Clear Cable is great - apart from I can't live within my 20 Gig limit and typically so about ten gig over .

613067 2008-11-26 08:58:00 'Best' ISP or 'Least worst' ISP? I think the latter fits best. qazwsxokmijn (102)
613068 2008-11-26 08:59:00 3kb/s?
That is VERY slow.
I think kbps and kb/s are the same, both mean kilobytes per second
