Hi, I am really confused about which ISP to join for jetstart. I need one
that would let me play online games in overseas servers (www.zone.com). That
means they must not limit the speed at certain ports, good ping time and
decent download speed. I already know the following:

Paradise: Used to be great and probably still is, but they have apparently
cut back on their helpdesk and consequently, the service is not as great as
it used to be. I rang them this morning and waited for 15 mins before giving
up...

Ihug: The bulk of their bandwidth comes from their satellite link, so the
ping time is similar to dial-up for overseas sever. (ping to www.zone.com is
500+ms)

Orcon: Good service but it is $5/month more expensive than any other people.

Xtra: well, I guess everyone knows how "GOOD" they are...

So what am I left with? What other ones are good?
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Joe
