552478 2007-05-23 07:03:00 Just wondering what the faster residential internet in NZ is right now? I'd assume it's cable, but who with and how much is it?

Just curious..

Wellington, Kapiti or Christchurch.

The price is depending on what plan you choose etc…

552481 2007-05-23 07:09:00 Was just looking at Telstra's plans...Cable doesn't seem all that much faster than normal broadband...or am I getting confused somewhere? --Wolf-- (128)

Are you looking at: www.telstraclear.co.nz ? & not: www.telstraclear.co.nz

552483 2007-05-23 07:32:00 Thanks Stu, I was looking at the wrong one.

One thing I can't seem to find is how fast is it actually? ATM on my current Xnet FS/FS adsl plan I usually get 5mbps down and 500kbps up (within NZ)

Obviously if I moved to PDQ I'd want FS/FS and around 10gb (Although I don't like how you pay for 10gb, rather than paying for what you use)

So could someone give me a speed indication of PDQ (I know it varies) and hopefully not a speed they tell me (ADSL tells me I'd get 7mpbs down, but never do) Does anyone actually have PDQ?

Thanks.

That’s dam good!!, better then my crappy 100 to 300 KB/s download speed & 128k upload (Do you get that speed when you download anything? Or do you only get half that? Like 300 KB/s?)

imo if you are getting 5mbps - 500 KB/s, then I would say where you are as there could be a chance that your speeds could get worse if you move to TelstraClear ADSL my :2cents:

552486 2007-05-23 08:01:00 Stu, I never get those speeds when downloading anything, usually 100-300kpbs.

Here's a speed test result I just did (And I somehow added an extra 200kpbs on the upload speed I told you, turns out it's actually around 300)

552487 2007-05-23 08:39:00 Well if I were you, I would be VERY happy with that... some of us more unlucky ones are on VERY slow speeds, this (www.speedtest.net) is the best result I have had in weeks... (Go Large) The_End_Of_Reality (334)
