My free downgrade now disconnects up to 20 times a day during the hours 8:00am - 5:00pm. Old one which ran at half the speed disconnected about once a week.
What shits me is that Telecom are shoving people into the wrong part of their available bandwidth. By upgrading download speeds but limiting how much people can download they've effectively maxed out the peak hour load beyond what it used to be while eliminating virtually all use of the off peak. The vast majority of home users tend to use their internet connections between when they get home from work until they go to bed.
My old connection was a 128k no limits plan. I'd stop downloading during peak hours cos I wouldn't be able to surf etc with the downloads going, then I'd turn them back on when I went to bed. So I was using less bandwidth at peak hours and then using up unused, spare bandwidth when nobody was online.
Someone needs to explain to me how things have improved for me. Now things that I download during peak hours (ie fuck all other than email or viewing webpages) are fractionally faster (I think I can notice the difference but I'm not sure) but I don't get to use the offpeak now. It's improved for the movie/tv/music companies I guess (NOT!! .... btw has anyone heard the latest Tool album called 10,000 days, it's not bad .... apparently) but the price, quality of service and usefulness for me have degraded. Telecom's marketing department earn their salaries eh.

haven't they upgraded the speeds but also the number of users that share the same line - I am not sure what the technical term is for that - with the end result that speeds per user are about the same as they were before this 'new era' of broadband.

Yes, they have gone from 70 subscribers per bundle at 2MB to 120 subscribers per bundle at 3.5MB. What a crock of shite. You'll get better speed when it's quiet, but will be much more exposed to traffic latency during busy times.
