435018 2006-03-02 08:10:00 Im running 2mbps and everything works but experiencing slow speed.

Website sometimes takes longer to load than 56k and while i was running command and conquer online i was on 600ms while my 56k paradise is around 360ms.

It just seems so slow to be 2mbps.Anyone having the same problem with ihug?

435019 2006-03-02 08:40:00 I think it could be telecom as some one else the other night said the same on Xtra: pressf1.co.nz

Also have you gone over your cap? If so this could explain why you are getting slow speeds: www.ihug.co.nz

435021 2006-03-02 09:28:00 Telecom are slowing things down, in a bid to show off their "faster, better, cheaper" plans.

Deep in the lair, Theresa Gattung is turning the knob marked "UBS speed" towards slow, while manic laughing is heard.

Could you explain how you know this?

Having heard that the 025 mobile numbers will not work soon I thought I will get a new 027 cellphone. After reading other threads and a replly from Jen it would appear that my cellphone is usable until Dec 2007.

Telecom web site has links that do not work but this does not mean that Telecom/Xtra per se is a totally useless company.

The 025 network still works for me. There again I do not move far usually from where I live.

Quite a few posts I see here are wanting FREE software, FREE SKY, FREE or at least faster Broadband.

I must admit that I spent some time on my computer last night shopping for a mobile phone. I do not need Email, Pixs, WAPS etc or even txt. Being able to make a phone call is good.

Possibly you did the research first.
