| 601234 | 2007-10-14 03:19:00 | Hi there. I am still on the xtra 'Go Large' plan. For the past 4 - 5 days I have been noticing very slow international traffic. NZ speed tests return very good speeds [3Mbs] International tests [UK;USA] are very poor [300Kbps]. It will not surprise anyone to hear the helpdesk were no help [asked me to go through laborious physical checks - when the problem was obviously not on my side because of my excellent local speeds]. I suspect there is a problem with the international gateway. Anyone else having problems? |

| 601235 | 2007-10-14 03:32:00 | This is always a problem. I still experience this problem from time to time. Don't expect much from the rubbish Xtra. |

| 601236 | 2007-10-14 03:48:00 | Has anyone else found that this problem has been particularly accentuated in the last few days? Is it exclusively an 'Xtra' or 'Go Large' problem? | User125567 (12917) | ||
| 601237 | 2007-10-14 04:07:00 | For me the international speeds with Go Large have always been terrible. Even national is intermittent. At night (after midnight) is the only time I have ever got acceptable speeds, so I do all my downloading then. |

| 601238 | 2007-10-14 04:16:00 | Is it safe to say then that this problem is limited to the Go Large plan? | User125567 (12917) | ||
| 601239 | 2007-10-14 04:36:00 | Is it safe to say then that this problem is limited to the Go Large plan? Yep, you got it. I'm on the same plan. The only times i get half pie decent speeds is during work hours (9am-3pm) mon-fri & midnight to 6am. The rest of the time is crap. |

| 601240 | 2007-10-14 09:12:00 | I have pretty good speeds, all the time round. I'm on Go Large, racking up 50-60GBs per month for $50 :D | Zayne (12910) | ||
| 601241 | 2007-10-14 21:23:00 | I think the problem is only on Go Large - I downloaded over 2gb on saty/sun during the day, all at 3.5mbs from Torrents | Pourhommenz (104) | ||
| 601242 | 2007-10-14 21:35:00 | I have pretty good speeds, all the time round. I'm on Go Large, racking up 50-60GBs per month for $50 :D It seems there are a limited amount of people for whom Go-Large is very fast. This has always been a mystery to me.:) |

| 601243 | 2007-10-14 21:52:00 | go large is subject to traffic management, according to the agreement when you signed up with it. Might be a factor, shouldn't affect speed tests though. I also am on Go large and only get good speeds at off peak times, but local speed tests indicate 2.5 - 3 mb/s almost always. If p2p software runs slowly I would suspect it's being throttled as per the go large terms. For browsing & normal downloads it could come down to how busy the site you're using is and the international bandwidth available |
