494255 2006-11-08 10:39:00 I wish to take back what I said about the Go Large...its turned to custard! I havent used any PSP, but downloads from oversea have dropped to like 5.48KB/s and thats with mulitple connection of a download manager. Games lag terriblily!

Wish I could go back to the Explorer, I want more than 2Gb cap:(

Guess I'll have to get the Go Express

494256 2006-11-08 11:39:00 Why don't you try simply asking for something better? It worked for me - I'm now on the Pro plan for the next month, but only have to pay $50 (rather than the usual $80) for it. Speed has jumped back up to 2.2Mbits/sec international - exactly as it should be. Erayd (23)

No change in speed.

d/l 3216 Kbps
u/l 560 Kbps

Can't complain because it seems I get a fairly good rate compared to some of the unfortunates posting here, but I certainly don't feel unleashed. In fact the only thing that has changed is that telecom have given me an extra 5GB to play with. The biggest complaint I have is that we seem to have such high latency, which peeves me as games suck when you're getting dropped packets.

494258 2006-11-08 19:00:00 I have just achieved the record for international download speed on Go Large......the speakeasy meter from New York reads......1 Kbitps.

That really should be 0 kbps, because nothing was happening for several minutes, and I switched off .

It didn't even start for me. So I went to http://speedtest.net and done the same server to New York (which was SpeakEasy). And here was my results:

Download: 784 kb/s
Upload: 113 kb/s
Ping: 323 ms

Sorry Terry, I couldn't stop laughing at that figure and how you worded "record international download speed" :p I cracked up laughing. My next billing cycle is coming up soon, I am not so sure if I want to get onto BB just of yet.
