494071 2006-10-25 17:04:00 B-Day has arrived. October 26 marks the day Telecom turns the taps on full, giving us all the maximum speed internet connection its pipes will allow. How's it working out for you? Join those leaving comments after Geoff's blog here (blogs.pcworld.co.nz).

Tell us what speed you're clocking, and see how others are going.

494072 2006-10-25 17:35:00 Just tested mine and wow believe it or not....no change 2048 down and 520 up. I'm on the xtra pro ultra plan and I've never seen anything faster than this and no change today. They also havn't updated my monthly cap from 40GB to the new 50GB limit? Still in the Broadband dark age. Just for the record i'm located in Bayswater about 3km from the exchange. BayFM (11335)
494073 2006-10-25 17:49:00 speed unchanged as yet.....more likely to be changed on my account anniversary which is 23rd next month lol.......hardly gonna matter anyway 3.5mb is fine as far as I'm concerned....so what if i can download some files faster...hell it's fast now anyway......and cruising the web......well ....i doubt I'll care if a page loads a few microseconds faster.... drcspy (146)
