My guess is Telstra's "testing the water" & relying on this 'skynet' to "control" people on the download frontOriginally Posted by willytheekid

you guys are so kind. My guess is their metering platform needs fixing so rather than saying there will be an outage they have spun it as a free for all. Good bit of PR.

Compass are advertising no limits as well for $79.95 naked broadband. www.compass.net.nz so maybe skynet has dropped usage patterns.

TelstraClear has proper glass fibre fed broadband, not that ADSL speed limited nonsense that gets wholesaled by the copper wire confederation.

Damn my broadband is slow now, it's normally 15Mbps on the same servers. Last night I was down to 3Mbps maximum on several different servers. I quit all my torrent and other downloading apps before doing these tests.

I would kill for that upload speed.
