Im using Orcon Bitstream, cant say ive had any issues at all with regards to
speed.
I get good speeds (~30kbps) to most locations no matter what I download.

Also, remember you will now be on a static IP address using Bitstream from
Orcon ..

This would appear to be the case. Later in the day Orcon had a message
saying that there was a Telecom ADSL outage this morning.

When I got home I had another try with bitstream and in connected without a
hitch <shrug>.

I see my down stream speed is now 320 and upstream is 160Kpbs and I have an
IP address that APNIC says is allocated to Orcon, so I definitely am on
Bitstream.

The only fly in the ointment is that the download speeds (for FTP of files
over 1MB) stay at about 17KBps rather than something nearer 30KBps that I
had expected.

Any clues? Before I start asking Orcon...
