Can we assume you have used Xtra in their new clothes,so to speak. They seemed to have improved since the genius sheila left. |

| 613071 | 2008-11-26 18:17:00 | Cic The fact is Xtra now offer a better deal . Or so it seems . I agree with you . Through years of turmoil and being branded the cr*ppiest ISP I saw things change for the better at Xtra - and people like me do not like to jump ISP every month . I'm quite happy with my 6500 kbps speed now, thank you . Xtra must be doing something right . sarel |

| 613074 | 2008-11-26 19:41:00 | I know why theres a thread on this every few months. It's cause the ISP's service changes every few months. I saw my post at the start of the thread and wondered how many I'd had before posting that - then realised it was last year. How things change. | wratterus (105) | ||

| 613076 | 2008-11-27 00:49:00 | Best ISP service in NZ is still Telstra Cable available in Well and CHCH, second to none consistency and "real life" multi source downloads speed usually matching what the connection is rated at (in other words 10MB will download at 1100KB/s ish allowing overhead, and not testing with that worthless Speedtest.net). Telstra seem to have a lot of intentional bandwidth so there DSL is also amongst the best, however there Help Desk support sucks so "the Best" is slightly subjective. |
