dets00b: I think some people are going overboard and pointing the finger more than necessary. If the internet is so important to you should have a backup internet connection. ISP's don't guarantee 100% uptime and stable connections, even if your a high value customer they don't guarantee 100% but its close after paying thousands of dollars a month.
If your complaining about the speeds speedtest.net is providing please don't use the wellington server, they are always much lower than other speedtest servers. Every server has its own bandwidth, if too many people test to the server it has less bandwidth and also it depends on its location. Speedtest servers should be only used as a guide line.
For example i just tested to auckland and i got :
I then tested to wellington and got:
and sydney for perspective:
As you can see the wellington server is providing totally congested results so its pointless using this as a test to prove how much of the free internet weekend is having an impact on your connection. Post some more accurate results.

I think the finger pointing is fair enough when we know where to point the finger at! We know why we are getting very poor speeds and unreliable connections, and that's because of the free data weekend. Are you really suggesting people should have a second broadband provider just for when TC decide to give another free data weekend to keep freeloaders happy!?
It's now after midnight so very much after the peak, but as you suggested I have tried the Auckland server and still don't get great speeds, and worse bit the connection isn't reliable, so even though I am getting these speeds I still cannot even listen to a low bandwidth internet radio stream!
