And those were with a download running in the background...

Hello xxxxxx
Our international graphs show under utilization for all but about 6
hours a day of that international capacity (between the hours of 6pm and
midnight approx). More international capacity will be added as it is
deemed necessary and viable by our operations team. The nature of our
DSL plans means they are non guaranteed at any level of service and thus
a shared international bandwidth pool with peak time fluctuation is
something that may occur.
Your IP address will have no bearing on international speed fluctuations
during peak times.
Best regards, xxxxxx
My Reply,
Hello xxxxxxxx Many thanks for your reply, I would agree with you
entirely, but it would be nice to go back to when there was under
utilization 24/7 as the peak periods are when most are able to use the
Internet with school and work commitments etc. And though your graphs may
show 6 hours of insufficient bandwidth one has to consider that for most
people who sleep for 8 hours a day and work for 8 hours a day it only leaves
8 hours and the 6 hours of insufficient bandwidth fall in those 8
hours.Maybe a compromise with a little more bandwidth would mean that even
in the peak periods one could download faster than dialup speeds, but slower
than off peak???. However we are all in the hands of Xnet. Personally from
my experience with Xnet over the last 15 months, and having recommended and
signed on more than 10 of my family and friends to Xnet, I will just have to
wait and hope and believe that Xnet will re-consider their strategy and
that this situation improves. Conclusion, Feeling cheated, and
Disappointed,
Best Regards xxxxxxxxxxx

Just my theory, and also to point out there is probably a very good reason why it is taking a while to sort out. (The other bonus for XNet is that during this time they will probably loose a couple of more demanding customers while retaining the easier customers ;-)

Now I dont know what to do, I really feel like leaving and finding a new provider, will xnet refund my account since its so new? After having such poor performance for so long with woosh and now xnet, I wonder if there will ever be a good internet provider in this country..

I'm hosting some websites in US, since I've moved to Fusion the FTP uploads are pain in the back side, I cannot upload a 20MB file, it disconnects at least 2-3 times, thank god I kept my other TCNZ broadband and 100 MB uploads to US is a breeze..
Will have to make some decision whether to keep the Fusion or not, driving me crazy thinking of getting TCNZ broadband on my fusion enabled line and change two of my ported numbers back to TCNZ...
Telecom ripping off VXC, VXC ripping off us..... Not sure here which is true.
Hmm....Do we all take wise decisions??

I think you'll find that this is almost certainly not a Telecom issue. Otherwise it would be affecting other ISP customers or Xtra customers which it doesn't appear to be the case.
In fact, some users reported lower performance switching from Xtra to WorldxChange.
