Hi Folks.
Recently moved over to Ihugs 256K wired country Connection , from Xtra's
128K Jetstart.
I was somewhat disappointed by the speeds I was getting with the Ihug
connection so I did some packet captures.
The Tests were done downloading a 500K file from Wired Country's site.
I Used Ethereal to do the captures
Here are some screen Captures of the Analysis.

Wireless Connection Via Ihug (Resultant Speed 177K)

Jetstart Connection Via Xtra (Resultant Speed 131K)

>From What I understand , Wired Country have no control over my bandwidth
limiting, It Is handled by the ISP.

I've sent these results to Ihugs staff (a few times) and they haven't
replied....
Figured It was time to consult some real tech support .. You folks.

If anyone has any other results from other ISP's , I would be interested in
seeing them.

Regards

Barry
