Seriously, we've had people complaining about Orcon continuously for months here, if it's bad enough then there must be a few other companies willing to take your money. Obviously it's not putting any pressure on Orcon to fix it.
FWIW ... I use a supposedly 1Mbps Orcon sattelite service and, using Youtube as my download test, find I can get .7-1.5Mbps sustained download rates early morning ~4am-7am but only 200-300kbps most evenings. I've checked with consumerspeedtest.org.nz at times when the download is really slow and it tells me that I still have ~1Mpbs download rate so not sure where the bottleneck is. Given that Orcon or others seem to be pushing cheap sattelite service out to rural areas I don't expect performance to improve any time soon. Dave
