Yeah mate I plan to do the same. Will monitor it tonight and the next few days. My billing cycle has just started and they require 1 month cancellation notice so I need to act fast. From what I've seen I can save $20 a month by moving to Telecom.
Same here. Very good speeds last night and just then (5.26pm). Best speeds I've gotten so far. 17.03mbps on the speedtest I did just then. Hope it lasts!
I have noticed a drop in performance of my connection too. At peak times my pings have shot up and making online gaming not very fun. After 11pm pings go back to normal and are fine till the next evening. Hasn't been an issue before, Orcon must have done something recently.
johnr: it's not that slow many people around New Zealand would give their first born child for that speed :oP
Indeed. I'm currently getting 1Mb/s. Been meaning to diagnose it further, as speed seemed to at least halve as soon as we changed between Telecom broadband plans. Its on the TODO list. Somewhere :-)
seamed to stream ok for me the video is 386kbps and was streamin at 450~524kbps for me . the guy in the video is a douche though this is also not the only one on youtube about computer thieves being caught out and named n shamed, Look for one about a white hat hacker and what he did to catch the guy the stole his PC it'll make you ROFL
Wellington. In a new subdivision that has only been recently cabinetised. I have found that obscure YouTube videos still have the problem so maybe caching by Orcon is helping more common stuff? Speedtest for national and international is still excellent (but only for the last few days)
