Okay, I know this has most likely been discussed here before, but I am going to add
my own two cents to the mix.

I've been a telecom customer since they first launched the old Go Large plan (which I didn't
really have much problem with).
About two months or so again, i was basically TALKED into changing to Big Time, because they
told me it was pretty much the same cost (it's not) for a faster internet UNLIMITED internet
connection (it's not).



That speedtest was done this morning - and that is a shocking speed for so-called unlimited broadband.
Telecom is one of New Zealand's biggest company's - you would think they would be able to do better than that wouldn't you?

I called them up and spent over 40 minutes on the phone to someone who could not speak a WORD of the Queens English, and told me it was basically all MY fault, that there was nothing wrong from their end.

Well, obviously there IS - I tested eveyrthing they told me, nothing improved - in fact, it's got slightly WORSE as the morning has progressed.

ANOTHER thing I want to mention (and ask if anyone else has had problems with it) is the file hosting network known as Rapidshare?
Rapidshare is NOT a p2p netrwork, although Telecom has told me that they COULD possibly be throttling bandwidth to that website.
This is absolutely bloody pathetic! Come on - get with the goddamn program Telecom - pull your bloody finger out and sort this mess out!!!
