My jetstream was changed over yesterday. The plan change was shown for
most of the last month. I did not have to reset my modem, it just
'happened'. My modem has been 'up' for 29799 minutes according to the
logs. My downstream shows 7616kbps and upstream shows 320kbps.

Subject: Jetstream Surf to Plus Transition
Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd share my Surf to Plus transition experiences (in
brief).
1. My Jetstream meter changed to reflect 'Next month's plan: Jetstream
Plus'
about 3-5 days before the end of my billing month.
2. At 11:30pm on the night before my month end, my speed changed from
64k to 256k.
3. I had to reset my modem to activate the speed change, which
eventually happened at about 1:30am the following morning.
4. My line rate stayed the same; ~1700 kbpsec, however my ATM speed
dropped from ~1650 to ~1350.  This is a bit odd since I had thought that
changes in the system would mean that this speed would be higher (esp.
for people on the fringes, as I am).
5. My ping times are pretty much the same as when I was on JS Surf (if
not slightly better!):
Google.com
Surf:
Minimum = 230ms, Maximum =  250ms, Average =  238ms
Plus:
Minimum = 160ms, Maximum =  190ms, Average =  175ms
mail.orcon.co.nz
Surf:
Minimum = 50ms, Maximum =  51ms, Average =  50ms
Plus:
Minimum = 50ms, Maximum =  60ms, Average =  51ms
6. I used 80% of my monthly limit in 2 days :)
I will be performing some experiments on how the over-quota limiting
works in a couple of weeks (nearer to the end of my billing month :)
(purely for research purposes of course! :D ).  Based on the fact that I
had to reset my modem to enable the speed change in the first place, I
would guess that the old system which requires a line reset to change
the speed is still in place.  Surely telecom will have to change this as
with 2meg you can download a WHOLE lot in just a few days!
I'll keep you all posted on the results (and I'm keen to hear anyone
elses experiences on rate limiting as well).
Sam.
