Fraktul: I think the point is that Mav and his team have chosen to utilize this forum to respond to user queries in the past and for whatever reason on this issue have not chosen to respond at all. To some extent this is a problem of their own making since they have set user expectations accordingly.

While responding on these forums might not be a typical support channel for most ISPs WxC have chosen to take this approach, and kudos to them for doing so. By the same token you can hardly criticizes people for now wanting responses to issues via this channel now however :)

Also to be fair Xnet do a we bit of plugging of their service on here so again their should be a bit of quid pro quo :)

In their defense Xnet have been pretty prompt in responding to users in the past on these forums. Maybe Mav is still over at Bathurst?

Although this is a fair comment, people should not consider this the first point of support. The reason for this is because there are no processes in place to follow up on faults, measure quality, communicate directly, etc.

This is one of the reasons I think the bigger players such as Vodafone and Telecom are afraid of getting into a more official position in the forums.

Well it looks like things have improved. My work connection in Ponsonby was steady at 4.5MBits all of today which was a relief because I had a few GB of ISO setup CD's to download from IBM and my work connection is sitting at 2.5MBits tonight when I finally got home from the pub (It's always been a problem connection...)

Much improved results from only 24 hours ago as I was getting 1/10 of these speeds on both connections yesterday.

Tyler - Parnell Geek - iPhone 3G - Lenovo X301 - Kaseya - Great Western Steak House, these are some of my favourite things.

Definitely, you should always log your faults, get a fault number and name of the person you spoke with to ensure your fault is on record and can be dealt with in the most effective manner.

I should have perhaps used the term "information distribution" instead of "support".

It's definitely been better this week (up to 300kBps internationally!)
But it's still poor compared to national though.

Well it was going to be by the end of last week too, so I dont know what to do.

It's actually slightly better this week - although still totally unacceptable.

What I find strange is how quiet this is compared to other ISP's issues.....

I think people are generally patient with XNet because XNet has treated customers so well in the past. However, if XNet dont fix this issue in a timely fashion, they will lose their excellent reputation. I dont want to see that happen, and I doubt any XNet ISP's really want to change ISP, so I hope XNet can solve this issue sooner rather than later.

This is the best it has been.

Full speed late at night? Normal!
It's peak times that are the problem.

As for patient? I'm only patient because the CSR I got either denies there is a problem, doesn't reply to my emails, and I wasn't home when they were called.
