I'm currently on Xtra go large and had been using Adventure. And I was getting quite slow speed for the first 3 weeks after I changed to go large but the speed improved after that period of time and was having good speed till last week(both from p2p and the internet). However, I'm now getting downloading speed between 5 and 10kb/sec from overseas web sites(Austrailia, US, UK, Germany, Korea, Japan tried to download files from 2 web sites from each country) and of course from p2p as well, but am getting fast speed from NZ local web sites(around 450kb/sec). So I called xtra customer service just now and what they are saying is that they won't be able to figure out what is wrong with it because there probably be some kind of faults in global network system('global network system' am I saying the right thing? forgot got what the guy from xtra called it) . Isn't telecom responsible for maintaining both internal and external network system for internet users in NZ??
And am I the only one who is experiencing this problem?

Yes, it appears that once again Go Large speeds have fallen, unless you want to change to another plan or isp just sit tight and hope that telecom can get there act together and provide what they are promising to thousands of customers with the same problem.
