412241 2005-12-13 01:46:00 Trouble is that Orcon seems to be really bad for gaming. I've read about horrible ping times..... There are some ISPs who don't count national traffic towards the cap. gibler (49)
412242 2005-12-13 02:14:00 300mb each day just on gaming!Considered, um, maybe reducing your gaming hours each day? Some people manage quite well to live life, and game, without having to spend 23 hours per day at their computer.

I mean, 300 megabytes per day probably equals ten or more hours! :nerd:

412244 2005-12-13 04:38:00 The problem is that you are playing BF2 - I'm not sure how much it uses per hour, but it is a lot.

I'm on orcon unlimited & it is fine for games - I play CS:S & a bit of 1942.

412245 2005-12-13 04:44:00 Ah jamseyboy, $69 for 40 gig cap on Ihug 2MB. I have just switched from Xtra 2MB to Ihug 2MB and the latency is slightly better on Ihug. No need to go back to 256K.

Keep in mind the 20 gig in on peak and 20 gig off peak, just schedule any downloads for off peak leaving 20 gig for gaming on peak.

But yep, Telecoms "10 gig is heaps for the average user" policy sucks bananas and they can go take a flying jump off the sky tower.
