Hi all,
I'm in Wanganui and during the last 3 months my connection at evening time (6 to midnight-ish) is extreamly slow. I've spoken to Tech Support but they say I'm connected at 3000-3500 Kb/s according to my router so there is no problem. However, when I do a speed test on the Telecom website, I get a speed of around 350 Kb/s which is quite rediculous. I play a lot of online games with my brother who is in the UK and they become unplayable as my "ping" jumps between 200 and 1500! As soon as I go on in the morning it's fine and speeds are good again. I understand that 6-midnight is the busy time but the speeds I get are just too slow to accept. I keep getting fobbed of that it's a problem with the exchange and it's being looked into, but as it's been going for 3 months I'm finding this harder to beleive.

Is anyone else getting these problems? Or can anyone give me some pointers?

Cheers,
