606004 2007-10-28 07:06:00 I am trying to work out if it is something wrong with my modem, wire in my house (as it was splited into two lines) or slow broadband connection in my area .

I am using xtra, Go Large (no longer exist, but Telecom said it is up to 3 . 5Gb . I am in Dannemora near Botany Town Centre .

Wondering what type of speed you are experiencing -

I use . net and can only achieve only up to 3000kb/s . " target="_blank">speedtest . net and can only achieve only up to 3000kb My friend in Howick with xtra and same plan can achive up to 6200kb/s .

I just need more info to work out if it is speed in general so I can be sure it is the "splitted line" that I have at home . . .

606005 2007-10-28 09:08:00 Can't help, but when I lived in Dannemora 6 years ago I couldn't even get ADSL. Perhaps the newer developments have more complient exchanges. Greg (193)
606006 2007-10-28 09:22:00 Is your friend on the same plan?

Because I hear speeds on the Go Large plan are shocking - people have been complaining about them for a long time.

Getting 3000kb/s is dam good!, what do you get when you try & download a large file can you get up to 300KiloByte/sec?

It depends on who you talk to & what there exchange is like & what they use eg if they use p2p a lot etc . . .

I am also on Xtra Go Large & on a good day I get 300 KB/s!

You should consider yourself lucky, there no way in hell you'll ever get near what Telecom says is theoretically possible so getting 3mbit when telecoms says 3 . 5mbit is available is damm good!

606010 2007-10-29 16:37:00 I downloaded a 5 gig file yesterday . It was in three sections so I was downloading ,in effect, three files simultaneously .
They all started at over 359KBPS at 4-30 pm . The final one finished at just after 7 pm, downloading at about 90 KBPS .

To me, waiting impatiently, it seemed slow .

Any comments .

BTW I am in Rotorua , about 6 Kms from exchange . With xnet .
