I was on Jetstream for about 9 months before I switched to jetstart. My game
pings are the same only difference is the slow downloads on jetstart and 15k
average is very slow. I would have stayed on Jetsteam if the limit was a
few gig but 600mb is so sad.

Subject: JetStart == Dial up == JetStream?

So can I ask about this from the other end of the spectrum...

how much better than JetStart is JetStream?

I'm asking because I worked from home (WFH) for a couple of days last month
and almost doubled my bill....

I like to game online and really like the JetStream ping (mmmm, ping) -
will JetStart make me into a living target again?

I watch the odd movie trailer but most of my work is text/email/surfing
based... not a lot of huge file transfers and the like.

Is it worth my while dropping down to a capped-price service or will I miss
that V6 performance?

Cheers,

Paul
