Still on Orcon, but the main line downstairs has been changed back over to Telecom from TelstraClear. On the Broadband Pro (as part of TotalHome) they are consistently getting 10.2Mb/s to Auckland, ~9Mb/s to Sydney, ~8Mb/s to LA, and pings in the 20s, 40s, and about 110 respectively regardless of the time of day or night. YouTube, downloads, etc, are all perfect - Internet how it should be.
Still waiting for the technician to come to the house to change our line and merge it with the main one, but looking forward to getting those speeds on our computer, at which point it will be 'so long Orcon'.

The speeds may be good, but at $20.40/GB when you go over the 40GB allowance, it's insanely expensive.
I guess we have to stick with the big broadband providers since they are the ones with the good supply lines.
I'm still considering the switch to Telstra, but some people have been complaining recently, so I'm unsure.

You can say that again.
If Telecom came out with a 80GB ADSL2+, I'm so there.

Every ISP has their complaints.. Telecom, Orcon, Slingshot. The lot.
You'll never get a perfect connection unfortunately, I guess its just trial and error..
if it helps, when I was with Telstra, I had fantastic internet all of the time.

Playing during peak hours is almost impossible
Pretty sure I am on orcon+.
Router connects at:
Stream Type Actual Data Rate
Up Stream 1020 (Kbps.)
Down Stream 7796 (Kbps.)
you are "pretty sure" you're on the + network?
how sure are you? because if im not mistaken', you're stats show a perfect ADSL1 profile :P. Unless of course your +network connection actually really does suck.
