489305 2006-10-05 05:13:00 I need something about DSL traffic and how it works clarified please.

If I surf for an hour and use say 500kb of traffic (up or down doesn't matter) on a speed of 3.0.

Will I use the same 500kb of traffic in an hour with a speed of "max" (7.something) or does faster mean more traffic?

Basically if I am using 10gig now at 3.0 will I continue to use 10gig at "max" if my internet usage habits do not change?

You will use the same amount of traffic

I Hope this helps :)

the wording of telecoms go large plan bothers me
fair use
peak time restrictions
"non sensitive" traffic (what the hell is this anyway)

Trying to decide if our 10gig cap will be enough and it sounds like it will be

Have a look at these threads:

pressf1.co.nz

pressf1.co.nz

pressf1.co.nz

As they may help explain what that all means, plus if you click on “fair use policy applies & traffic management applies on the Xtra plans website you should get a pop up explain it all, also see:

www.xtraplans.co.nz & www.xtraplans.co.nz ( Note: These two links are the pop-ups ;))

Hope this helps :)

700mb in a 8 hour period is just too low for some of the files I download, not often but often enough.
