| 1394047 | 2015-02-12 22:33:00 | Is it a pretty new (4G) T-Stick. Spark's 3G network is not the fastest by any means now days, their 4G network is a huge improvement. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1394048 | 2015-02-13 02:11:00 | Hi Lawrence - tried the ethernet connection but fine. Checked DNS settings. However in the end it was a system restore for a month back that has just finally solved the problem. Why, I don't know. About the only program change was a HP one. However thanks for all suggestions and for keeping me (relatively) sane ! :-) | Misty (368) | ||

Hi Alex - as you will see my problem has been fixed with a system restore. Re the T-stick - it is a few years old and will certainly not be 4G. We are now thinking of finally getting a 4G smart phone to use, partly to replace the T-stick. I see Spark has $19 monthly plans, which is the same as for our current older cellphone, so that would suit. We go out at times in our motorhome for extended periods so their kiosks with free Wifi would be a useful addition. |

| 1394051 | 2015-02-13 03:20:00 | 4G coverage will I'm sure improve but depending on where you live may not be worth it at the moment. I'm in Hamilton for example and have only ever see the 4G icon on my smartphone show up in one small area of the CBD and am stuck with 3G everywhere else. When I travel I just use the hotspot feature of the phone and connect my laptop to it via wi-fi. Works surprisingly well and 3G is fast enough for most things I find. I even do some online gaming over it. I have a spark T-stick somewhere but stopped using it, not worth paying for both the smartphone and the T-stick in my opinion. When I bought it the phone was on vodafone but there was not very good vodafone coverage where I used it most often. Now I've switched the phone to spark it's no longer an issue. If you travel a lot and mobile internet is important to you it might be worth investing in both networks as they trade places as to who's best depending on where you are. |

| 1394055 | 2015-02-21 03:50:00 | Sounds like it could be a DNS issue to me. A setting on your laptop may be ignoring Telecom's DNS and looking to your home ISP's DNS. Just a stab though.. | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
