i switched to the torrent plan 2 days ago and it didnt kick in ( i think) till last night, my internet went out for a few hours without warning so i called them and they said it was going to need a port reset at the exchange, ever since yesterday i havent been able to conect to the exchange faster than 900kbits (at the modems adsl status page), i hope this is a coincidence and that there is a psychical problem at the exchange, i havent changed my network in any way so its not our problem. hopefully not just their way to screw people out of bandwidth? my previous speedtests (speedtest.net, i do one every now and then) were around 4000k/600k now its >900k/90k anyone else?

call up xnet and log a fault. that isn't normal.

Camz: Hi there,

I am currently on the River plan with no data cap;

I am interested in changing to Flood, with the torrent plan.

What would the best option to take with changing plans? Currently cannot sign-up to eBill as I have only been a customer for ~2months, and cannot find my invoice number anywhere :(

Any help would be much appreciated,
Camz

The torrent plan only changes your billing and has nothing to do with your connection, the physcial connection is exactly that a phyiscial connection so this appears to be an issue between your modem and the ISAM / DSLAM you will be connected to, wouldn't really be to smart of us to try anything like that would it as I'm pretty sure everyone would be on us like a rash

I switched over to the torrent plan last night and I have had the exact opposite effect. I was only able to sync at a max of 1200K prior to switching and now, my sync rate has gone up to 3500K. Maybe you should log a fault with xnet?

Trkstr: interesting.  Got in touch with xnet again had a tech come and check line speeds at the lampost outside my house and he said he was able to sync at 6mbit (?!?!)
