If you're downloading from one of the several P2P type progams, then be
aware that Xtra _DO_ tunnel the common P2P ports to a _VERY_ limited
bandwidth pool so that the effective speed from these programs is often
under 1k/sec.

That's why web browsing is usually good speed and why pings and tracerts are
fine - they specifically cripple the traffic available to the P2P programs.

Interestingly, both Xtra and Telecom have categorically denied that this
happens. Personally I don't have a problem with them doing this, but I do
have a problem with them doing this and lying about whether they do it or
not.

I recently emailled Xtra help regarding this, because I am quite often not
getting even 1k when I try downloading anything. I notice that using I am
getting 2k or less 80% of the time.
