i know... why the hell would i want to meausure what im doing in bits when its standared to measure how fast a download is going in kilobytes per second?!
do YOUR download windows say that you are doing xxxx number of BITS per second?
bits is for line speed, bytes is for actual data passing through the line

I've just been advising a friend to change ISPs.
They're on slingshot ADSL, they're the only computer on the modem and www.speedtest.net gives dialup-worthy speeds.
that's aroud the riccarton area.
Slingshot dialup with a good thing, but their DSL sucks

Woosh really value their customers! ...they gave me a free month just for crawling up their ass on the phone!
Now they just upgraded my account for free too....
Why give telecom any money??? go WOOOOOOOOSH!!!

Dan, try www.speedtest.net it actually uses the same nzdsl server but has a nicer interface and stats logged by ip.
whoosh sucks, a workmate jsut changed form whoosh because he had 500 ping when he had best reception. woosh is fine for a portable internet when your away from home (besides the price) but its feeble when compared to adsl

woosh = not available in every area.
woosh = wireless = unreliable = high pings for gaming etc.
woosh = over priced for what it is.
the only upside is like you said, no coin for telescum.
==============================================
these are my results (with orcon)
Off Peak:
Download Speed: 3912 kbps (489 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 134 kbps (16.8 KB/sec transfer rate)that peak result is better than usuall too!Peak:
Download Speed: 654 kbps (81.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 134 kbps (16.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
even the peak should be ok for gaming/browsing etc but its not... as soon as you do something the pings go skywards and make it unusable!
lol@telecom thinking its only 10% of customers who are affected... i dont know a single person who isnt.

woosh is really not that good .... its better than dial up but not by much, it is cheap but its not cheap enough to make it worthwhileGO WOOOOOOOOSH! ! ! !

bingo
yep all true ....I have woosh and the only advantage that it has is you arn't forced to use a landline to connect to the internet. By not using a landline it effectively becomes cheaper again.
also the woosh modem and special usb cable is a fucking rip off

I suppose in a way im lucky that while my dl speed is only 2.8 megabits it doesnt go lower during peak times.
and i do absolutly love the ping times, i used to have the worst ping for games, now its the best.

Test Results for Woosh:
BAD WEATHER TEST: Download speed - 513 kbps Upload speed - 54 kbps
GOOD WEATHER TEST: Download speed 1.1 mbps upload speed 120 kbps
The good weather test is max i have ever got, usually sits around 8-900 kbps upload, sometimes more sometimes less.
Bad weather test, is WORST i ever get and usually only about 10% of the time im at this speed.
Still impressive in my mind, planning on installing large roof mounted antenna and that will (according to woosh) give me max download speed (1.6 mbps) 90% of the time.
wireless is the future!
