SpankMe - Is the KB server on a real go slow???

[StoneChucker]

Go Jetstream, you'll never turn back to 56k!

Thats a load of codswollip (sp.? hahaha)
The bastards at Xtra, and I'm assuming others, restrict all p2p traffic. So, you can't use file sharing programs! (I like to share my family photos with my nana in SA )

Or, have they wised up and stopped that shit yet? When I was with Xtra, they still did it.
Why can't it be like the US (I think?) where you pay a fee, and get FULL RATE, unresticted (speed and traffic type) internet! On proper lines with the right modems, you can easily get a 2MB line. 128KB? Gee, thanks alot telecom/xtra/whoever... Whatever will I do with such speed.

Not sure what on earth you're babbling on about SC, but for me, going from using a dialup modem to Jetstream is like upgrading from a 250cc to a 600cc...once you get a taste of the speed you never want to go back!

[stevedee]

Fine hear telstra clear 256k, no worries

not mine!!! when I share my photos and movie with nana I get full speed with DC++ and bittorrent. A movie on torrent takes about 2.5 hours DL time

what was it again TELECON! Need a fuckin gunmint with a pair of balls bigger than helens to deregulate the telecom industry so we can get ahead of thrid world Internet and phone speeds

Then whats the bird?? 2Mbit?

HEY, if I'm babbling I'm doing well - so no wisecracks
I was on Jetstart (oops, there might lie the difference...) and decided to change back to dial-up. I guess dial up suits the type of surfing I do.

Umm...the technology for that speed ain't here yet!

[Ixion]

Yeah, it's fucked (note the use of the precise technical term here). Problem's with a site called cogentco.com. Data to and from the kiwibiker site goes through a lot of connections (routers and god knows what) at that site. and it's showing VERY long ping and tracert times, and heavy packet loss. So, basically , data is taking forever to get through that site (sort of like the Auckland Harbour Bridge), and a lot of it is getting lost - which means it has to be resent, so things take even longer.. Need a heavy word maybe ?

pretty sure it is!! http://orcon.net.nz/products/bitstream/ yip first ISP i tries near the bottom!

[SpankMe]

The server is running fine and no-one in the US or UK accessing my SV site is reporting any problems, so I guess it must be one of the many servers between here and ServerPronto in the US which hosts my server that is causing the slow network response.

[scumdog]

Yep, been really slowww here for a couple of days, mainly on KB (my main site).

[Ramius]

I have noticed it with a lot of internet sites. I use Orcon Broadband here and many sites, especially this and CNN take forever, on most days. However, it can't be just Orcon either because I have a friend down in Christchurch (yes, I do have friends ) and she is getting the same issues. When connecting for a video conference either one of us would keep dropping the cam connection.

But on the good hand, LIMEWIRE is downloading crap like a rocket, that is when I am not browsing.

Yep. See the long times and stars on those xxx.cogentco.com lines ? Sometimes the times go out to +1000 and lotsa stars. Don't know who they are but theyre between us and the kb server, and they're slow.

A friend or an um-friend?

You live in the wrong city! 2mb delivered to the door here, and connected up to at home yesterday courtesy of TelstraClear's fibre optic network. Now I just need to get the email sorted...
