Jetstream Plus/Swift (2 Meg down, 10Gig) Connection

[ADSL-List - Sam]

Dudes, (I don't think we have any/many females on this list anymore!?)

Is anyone on either of the new 2Meg Jetstream plans yet? I know the
official rollout date was starting November, but since the plans were
actually launched on the 24th, I thought that TC may actually be rolling
them from that date and just telling everyone that it's from Nov to simplify
things.

In any case, I'm very keen to hear from anyone who actually gets upgraded
(when it finally happens) as to what the experience was like and how well it
performs!! :)

Looks like I'll probably be the last person in the country to get connected
as my rollover date is the 24th! :(

Sam.

There is at least 1 on the new plans according to the newsgroup nz.comp
The speed limiting seems to be patchy, but mostly on the end users side
by the looks of it.

We rolled over on the 20th, looks like next month then


Have a Nice Day

What do you mean by 'the end user's side'?

they were getting more than 2Mbit, slightly, although not always...

getting 368kB (firefox gave me 12-15k on my 128k Jetstart) on a 128Mbyte
file from Jetstreamgames (no realm)
getting 711KB from debian.co.nz on a 82Mb file
404kB from optusnet.dl.sourceforge.net 4.4Mbfile
192kB from mesh.dl.sourceforge.net 4.4Mb file
