| 519397 | 2007-01-26 09:48:00 | Why would the upload speed be so slow? Because your in NZ, and being in NZ its almost a given that you have to get a service provided by Telescum and Telescum are doing their best to rape your wallet and provide crap in return. BTW, that video on http://www.nzdsl.co.nz rocks. |

Since I wrote the original post I rang the Telecom help desk and they "tweaked" my connection, so ups to them for that. I pretty well happy with my speed now....... My beef is the (nearly) $100 bucks to have internet enabled in my home ~ but thats another topic ~ for another time. Stu....... what plan were you on before Go Large? IMHO I would suggest you change to one of the full speed plans such as Explorer 5GB. You won't be slowed down till you reach your cap ~ and then it won't be much slower than what you are getting now |

| 519402 | 2007-01-26 11:18:00 | Stu....... what plan were you on before Go Large? Xtra Adventure IMHO I would suggest you change to one of the full speed plans such as Explorer 5GB. You won't be slowed down till you reach your cap ~ and then it won't be much slower than what you are getting now There is no such thing as Explorer any more ;) see: jetstream.xtra.co.nz Plus we are a high bandwidth users (we could easy use 5 GB/s in about 3-4 weeks!) (due to my work), back when we where on Adventure we used 8 – 9 GB of our 10 GB cap. So moving to a smaller bandwidth cap does not work for us, & the other plans like Pro cost to much. |

| 519403 | 2007-01-26 11:29:00 | Baldy, Your upstream is so slow because you are on a 128k upstream speed, I think there is a 800k (?) but that is only available on the newer plans with Xtra - $49.95 for 2GB or $79.95 for 15GB. If you pay 5GB for $45, I think Xnet is better, $33.95 and then 1GB per $1, if you only use 1GB they charge you that, you can set a cap on it .. like 10GB, after 10 its slowed down .. $45 you get around 10GB with them ... No contracts, no tolls, no connections. |
