BenH: So... I've never used Steam before but heard its good from friends. I go buy Crysis online with Steam but its a 7 gig download and on Big Time im getting 10kB/s on Steam download.... I think while I download it I will go fill my bath with a straw and sitll have plenty of spare time before the games finished DLing!
Also, has the Aion lagging been fixed since Aion came out?

Aion's lag issue was fixed ages ago. There are other issues that can contrubute to this which is nothing to do with big time.
On another note, theres too many people here expecting everything for nothing. It was clearly stated it would be a shaped plan. You get fine speeds on off peek.
100KBps is perfectly acceptable!
Not being able to game/work is not.
To anyone complaining about 100KB/s i suggest you try and find a competeing plan, that you research ADSL and that you reserch NZ's internet enviroment.

Um.... I think YOU should research Xtra's Big Time plan. The plan is traffic managed, yes. PEAK.
Telecom website: Traffic Management - We don't place an artificial cap on the download or upload speed on the majority of the internet activity our customers have on this plan. But because it has no fixed data allowance, we do manage all the traffic on it to optimise the experience for everyone on the plan. When the network is busy (generally inside the hours of 9am and 2am) you may notice reduced speeds, in particular you are likely to see reduced speeds in relation to file sharing traffic and online gaming.

So that basically translates to "We manage all the traffic, all the time, when the network is busy we throttle file sharing traffic even more".

Nobody expects something for nothing - I expect my internet connection which up until yesterday morning had been performing great to be put back to the way it was.
Telecom have breached their aggreement in many ways in the past, and once again here. They even admitted to it today when I spoke to a Level 2 technician.
skewt:
100KBps would be nice if I was getting that sort of speeds
2 Downloads running
1 - 35KB/S
2 - 7000B/S - its gonna finish in 15 hours for a 350mb file
shiroshadows:
You forget most people are using Download Managers/Accelerators (DM) to achieve that.
But in most cases even with a DM some people can't even get 50kB/s.
Now that definately isn't acceptable
Kilack:
Yeah..... maybe you should research what is happening before you blurt, try reading the thread for a start.

I know all too well what is happening. Im also on the plan too.
All i was saying is that 100KB/s is fine! (for all those getting it).
I was not targeting anyone who is getting less than that.
I know others are having issues (I have some too) and no i dont think it is alright. I was only replying to those who were complaining about 100KB/s speeds.

adresdendoll: Adam, the way ive found to get around the fact that half the time the .torrent files dont even download on big time, is by using Demonoid and downloading the torrents as a txt file and importing them that way.
