Telecom needs to sort out their routing.

How do I do this please ???

Jetstreem has been mentioned. What is the download speed?
Keep an eye out for ihug as iinet here in Perth have bought them out. iinet are now the third largest telco in Oz and offer the fastest ADSL2 on the market. At the moment it is possible to get 12,000kbps, I'm getting 5,316kbps. They are smart cookies and wll no doubt do some great deals.

Me too ......

It's horrible

....making me go....

I'd change server providers, but the rest are more expensive. I prefer a server in NZ, but like most things, it's either not available here or way more expensive.

I don't get any problem at work, but they use IHUG here. My XTRA connection at home has the slow response problem thou.

Anyone with IHUG getting a slow response?

Using Ihug and it hasn't been too bad really.

A pity Telescum can't utilise some of that $900 million net profit they are reporting to get their crap networks running a bit better.

Yesterday morning was a shocker for me...
It took up to ten minutes to upload some pages...

And for some reason it said on this thread that I was trying to open. It kept saying 46 gifs to download... well after 20 minutes of waiting for this thread to open I gave up, as it was still saying the same thing.

I was able to get in last night for a few hours then it played up again..
but today its runing ok again.

Im on Xtra.

Same here, on xtra and this site takes ages a fair whack of the time. TM hauls ass though - how they do that?
