Your Internet Connection by zach on 03-03-2006 at 04:33 AM

Recently on the news there has been information about New Zealand's internet and why it is so slow. I am interested to see what you guys have for an internet connection. For more information about New Zealand's internet, see here.

My internet is;
2MB (average 100kbps download)
5gb peak/5gb offpeak cap
$60NZD

What's yours?

Edit: Include your average downloading speed.

RE: Your Internet Connection by Menthix on 03-05-2006 at 02:05 PM

  • 8Mbit down / 1Mbit up
  • Actual speeds: ~800KByte/s down / ~85KByte/s up (good enough for an ADSL1 line at full speed)
  • No caps at all
  • Will be upgraded to 20Mbit down / 1Mbit up (ADSL2) when it comes availible somewhere this year (still no caps and same price)
  • 30 euro per month (is about $36.14USD)
Got lucky for reacting fast.... new customers will pay 50 euro per month now for about the same thing. But they get 250MB hosting with 10GB traffice per month, i don't have that.
