TechnoGuy001: Ok, what plan are you on?Im on "Surfer 20 GB Broadband"Max download and 128 caped upload.and i live in Hawkes Bay. (maybe it's the location...)
TechnoGuy001: mmm, well there goes my theory. I thought it might just be the ADSL 2+ people or just ADSL 1 but since both of you have it we can rule that out.Well looks like we will wait for the bandwidth then, but still strange that some of us are fine and some aren't, you would think all of use would have speed issues if it was a bandwidth issue...?

On the Zeroshock plan for the best part of three years and based in Kapiti, but the last two months have been terrible.
As for having a go at Duncan, I have to agree with others here that it is out of hand. The dispute we have is with Orcon. It should rest with them, and not be directed to individuals. A lot of us are frustrated by the lack of progress, but this is not the way to deal with it. I'm pi**ed off as well, but I've tried to keep it civil. As for not taking it as a personal attack, it was. It was directed at Duncan and not Orcon. Therefore, it's personal. I know that Duncan is Orcon's voice on this forum, but the problem lies with Orcon, not Duncan.
As others have said recently and on previous posts, keeping us 'properly' informed is all we have been asking for. No lame excuses, just the truth. If not on this site, at least have it on your own status page.
OK, so how do I add the speedtest result? I've clicked on the Insert Image icon and copied the Forum Link from Speedtest, but all I get is the URL displayed.
Anyway, speeds are as follows: Location - LA, Download - 46kb/s, Upload - 126kb/s, Ping - 183ms

For us, it is interantional gaming - playing WoW - our private server is located in Dallas, Texas.
Speeds of torrents are a lot faster since I changed clients utorrent was not cutting it and I now use Limewire with Port Forwarding. But even then I am not getting speeds that I know another friend on Orcon get's (and yes I do no torrent speed is based on how many seeders etc).
We spend our money for broadband to play WoW - which we can't due to interantional latency. As soon as the weekend and evening time hits - there goes our time to play. It is fine during the day - but we are at work.

And yet you deliberately ignore the follow up post I made laying out the fact that it was not a personal attack. I don't know ducan from a bar a soap. The point I was making is that he is a big wig at Orcon, and continuous apologising without a clear demonstration of contrition does little to sooth my comfort as a student paying $127 per month to their organisation. My attack was not on him personally, but what he has done (or there lack of) to fix the problem and demonstrate some willingness to make amends with customers.

To add the image, copy the "Direct Link" address to the image.
Then use the image tool (the one that looks like a tree) and paste it in.

Thanks manhinli, but I've just tried that and it didn't work. Then again, it did take six minutes for the edit page to display before I could even try it. Had enough for tonight. Going to watch something, anything on TV. Anything is better than try to use the internet at the moment.

Apologies kaiwai, but the two posts following yours caught my eye (speed tests) before I had read through your follow up post. However, I still think making a comment like that is a personal attack. I know what's it's like. I've been on the wrong end of a phone call and been called various names, and I was told the same thing, "It's not personal". Of course it's personal! If someone calls you a so and so, they are directing it at you, not the company you work for. Apart from that, I agree with you on the point that we are effectively paying Orcon for non-service. In your case, twice as much as I pay them.
pathetic lack of accountability and leadership by Ducan.
