Hear lies the stupidity the others have all worked it out that flat rate is undeliverable and won't even try, and it is not as if Xtra hasn't tried before.
Firstly the last two weeks have been much worse than normal on Big Time, there seems to be some fault at play imo.
However, many ISP's in many countries around the world have worked out how to deliver unlimited plans, even ones that primarily speak English and aren't part of major continents eg: Singapore for example.
Really I suspect Telecom needs to have a tougher mechanism in place to handle the people who have found workarounds and are consuming more than their fair share of the Big Time international bandwidth pool 24x7.
We can all appreciate it's a shared bandwidth pool provisioned at a certain contention ratio, think motorway in peak time.. but surely something should be done about that guy with the monster truck taking up 4 lanes?
Same mistake/result as last time (Go Large) again pretty much.
My connection hits a megabit regularly after interleaving was switched off. I rarlely went that fast to local servers, let alone international servers.
DravidDavid: I'm getting a solid 928KB/s to RS right now.

I think I'll be giving Telecom a call tomorrow if your results are anything to go by.
Once or twice I think I peaked at 2.1MB/s with FDM. But it slowly dropped down. One time was downloading a file from an Actrix server in Wellington and the other was from a MU server.

Modem says:
Rate (Kbps): 8128 / 832
