| 399216 | 2005-10-25 12:17:00 | Im currently with xtra, and they suck, lots of people ahve been telling me that ihug is the best, is it true? is there a better isp in NZ? I use it for playing Counter Strike, and dowloading, im a pretty heavy user...and share conneciton with flatmates... does anyone have any suggestions, i think its time to change, but i've got no idea about BB in NZ... thanks! |

| 399217 | 2005-10-25 18:37:00 | In terms of speed and data cap, they seem to be the best. I'm switching over from Xtra now, because I can get 8x the speed, and 7x the data cap, at the same price I'm paying for Xtra. | somebody (208) | ||
| 399218 | 2005-10-25 19:19:00 | If only an ISP would bring back the unlimited national traffic plans - they would be awesome for playing games because the latency is too high to play on overseas servers, but there is nothing wrong with NZ servers. | Greven (91) | ||
| 399219 | 2005-10-25 19:40:00 | Yes. They are the best | JJJJJ (528) | ||

| 399221 | 2005-10-25 20:49:00 | Yes ihug is the best i ever used. at least, its speed quality is much better than xtra. i have one at home, and it's sharing with 3 other roomates, the speed never junk. my recommend, if you are a really big downloader than change to ihug. :D |

| 399222 | 2005-10-25 20:57:00 | Just visited Ihug's website and their broadband seems to be impressive. I'm with xtra currently and looks like changing over to Ihug is a good choice. Rang Ihug just now to enquire about this matter and was told that they will charge me $99.00 connection fee for changing over. This 'connection fee' deters me from joining them, though. |

| 399223 | 2005-10-25 21:11:00 | Rang Ihug again to reconfirm the 'connection fee'. This time I was told that there is no connection fee and on top of that I'll get a free modem as well - because I'm a new Ihug customer! What's this all about? Seems everyone is telling a different story. |

| 399225 | 2005-10-25 21:58:00 | I doubt there's a lot of difference between the mainstream providers. But I reckon there's a difference depending what plan you're on. For example, until recently I was on Orcon's Bitstream plan - unlimited bandwidth at 256k down, 128k up, and it was quite delightful, with just a very few temporary outtages. Now I'm with Xtra on their 10gig plan, 2Mb down, 128k up, and although the download speed is impressively noticeable, about 1 in 10 web pages won't load at the first attempt, ie they time out. A simple re-click gets the page, but it's a weird problem I never experienced before. |
