| 387604 | 2005-11-16 07:23:00 | Hi I know this is late but...a month or 2 ago mine was changed over to bordernet. I was on the 1000kbps Ihug sat for $69.95 a month. When the change over was done and Bnet sent me an e-mail saying they'd like it if I could change to one of their plans I ignored that and they left me on my old Ihug plan of 1000kbps...which is what I wanted for this reason... The bordernet plans are slower than the top Ihug ones were (atleast they were when I last checked) and with BNets accelerator software I was getting 2000kbps on my connection at times, although it averaged 1000-1300kbps. The Bnet proxy server means that you have to set proxy server settings in things that you might want satilite speeds on, e.g. IExplorer (or something else like opera, Firefox) Win media player, MSN messenger etc...Also the Bnet proxy server isn't compatable with other Proxy servers, Meaning that I got dialup speed when trying to surf with the MAF proxy. I found Bnet was a fast connection that went twice as fast as my Ihug one did for downloads even in my rural situation (almost 5km from phone exchange). Telecom has since enabled jetstream in my area and I enjoy 2000kbps adsl :) (I notice the lack of satilite lag when clicking links, and weather doesn't affect it (Lightning affected the satilite)...and what a wonderful ping!!! |

Same here and as soon as I find that out I switched quick smart. It was a few months of frustration on the satelite. Essentially if your modem cant stay connected because of bad/faulty/whatever phone lines then forget it. Constant redials and relogging in of the (poxy) proxy, often every few minutes or so. However the last couple of weeks have been good as far as stability has been concerned, up to 2 hours of connection time. Must be because telecom fixed the lines to enable broadband :eek: Dunno, dont care, this is better :D |
