| 512665 | 2007-01-04 23:37:00 | Can someone explain to me what this "interleaving" is and how it works? I rung again and they said I could expect speeds of up to 7mb d/l and u/l. | --Wolf-- (128) | ||

| 512667 | 2007-01-04 23:47:00 | So let me get this straight? Interleaving on = High latency Interleaving off = Low latency I don't get it...why would it be on in the first place anyway..what are the other advantages/disadvantages to having it on? |

| 512668 | 2007-01-04 23:58:00 | Also, just reading their website: Browsers Supported IE 5.0 and above (PC) Yes IE 4.5 and above (MAC) Yes (excluding Win95) Netscape Navigator No Mozilla No I use Mozilla Firefox 2.0 for everything. I never use IE or anything so what's it mean if they don't "support" it? It wont work or what? |

I think it just means that their help desk isn't 'trained' to help you change Firefox settings. Firefox 2.0 itself works fine. HTH BachelorNo1 "Very Happy Xnet HSI subscriber" |

| 512670 | 2007-01-05 09:54:00 | I am now debating between Orcons Max/Max 15gb plan for $59 a month and Xnets Max/Max 10gb plan for $60 a month (Although it will work out cheaper) Orcons has their interleaving off, can Xnets turn theirs off for me and what disadvantages will it give me having it off? |

Interleaving on = High latency Interleaving off = Low latency I don't get it...why would it be on in the first place anyway..what are the other advantages/disadvantages to having it on? Interleaving is an error correction technology. Generally if you are close to your exchange (say 2-3km???) then you can have interleave turned off safely. However the further away you are from the exchange the higher chance of errors, these can range from stuttering, through to full disconnection, meaning at that distance it's better to have it on. My speed results. (I am about 4.5km from my exchange) On my old Xtra plan (3.5mbps/128kbps) I got 2.3mbps/128kbps - $70 On Xtra go large I got 190kbps/128kbps - $60 On Xnet I get 3.05mbps/610kbps - $53-55 (I only use 3-6gb/month) Guess which one I like more? |
