Audiophiles are such twits! They buy such pointless stuff: Gold plated cables, $2000 power cords. Idiots.
OOOHHHH HYPERFIBRE!
gareth41: I drive around fixing pc's onsite, today I had to download display drivers from ATI, my customer was on Xtra. Drivers downloaded at a miserable 4kb/s, absolutely appalling. I cancelled download and enabled http proxy in Internet Options on customers pc, typed in the static ip of my orcon connection and my proxy port, next IE8 prompted for the proxy user/pass after I hit refresh, typed it in and away I went, got the ATI driver at 95kb/s which is the max upload speed on my orcon connection. Shame on Xtra!

gareth41: didnt ask the cust what plan he was on, only which ISP and was told Xtra. Going by what people have said about "Big Time" im assuming he could have been on that plan. The 2001 driver was for an old graphics card, the pc it was in was built in 2003, but its his choice to run such old hardware and some people just wont upgrade no matter what you tell them. Wasnt the pc though causing slow download speeds, definately xtra.
