im on a xnet $30 dunno price exact, im not on the overnight free data plan and also its unlimited, this is my 3rd month, the first time i signed up, it was increasingly fast now it seems dull....is everyone having speed issues between 12am to 11pm? the mornings seem to be the fastest i ever get....really pissing me off rite now....

i live in hamilton, New zealand

anyone know a good isp in that area please tell me...

edit:Everytime i watch a video around 25min....it stops at a random point...i think its from the discounnection...doesnt broadband normalling have no disconnections? its really anoying and wasting money.....i have to reload everything again....how can i stop my network from disconnecting like that??

Welcome to Geekzone snowman213

Can you tell us what plan your on??

also if you want to change from Xnet, Telecom seems to be good at the moment.

thank for the welcome,

im on the unlimited plan, there are 3 plans im on the 2nd on plan (its around $33.50) i don't use the midnight download stuff.....it seems everyone gets slow downloads during midnight......

about telecom, my mate is a on telecom, a $50 plan unlimited...but they cancelled that plan....only people who choose it can use it...kinda stinks...he's able to download as much as he wants very fast and don't cost him....i might think about telecom....

im really new to broadband stuff....if u hav any good advice about broadband im willing to hear it.

thanks

That $50 plan would be Go Large... Telecom no longer sell it (as you can see), quite a lot of customers jumped ship when it crawled (back at the end of 2006/early 2007), but the people still on it now have great speeds (and unlimited downloads*)

It only seems that there are only a handful ISPs without the painful speed issues (mostly big ones like Telecom, TelstraClear, Vodafone)

You can also look at the table of broadband plans here (it's due for an update next week, so some of it's a little old)
