You think you have problems.

Try running any sort of server that gets used even sparsely by one or
two people. Not only does the upstream get saturated by having a single
incomming ssh connection, and 1 or two open internal browser session.
But add a webserver to the mix, and you've got a huge slowdown. Even
with carefully crafted QOS stuff on the server the 128kbit upstream
kills anything that is "real" internet.

Also I have had my 192kps connection throttled by Orcon for around 4
months to 160kps. Telecoms seems Innocent in this case, and the throttle
is being impossed by the ISP. Of course I only discovered this myself,
but had it confirmed by the ISP a couple of weeks ago.

This is dispite having not moved to a UBS plan... seems it was too much
hassle for Orcon to deal with the Partnering connections separately and
just upstream rate limited all DSL connections, when it was announced
the Jetstream partnering would be axed in the near future. (back in June
I believe)

Fun Eh

DSL in NZ ... Just say NO! I think should be a good marketing slogan.
