It won't change unless you change your plan. With Ihug, if you want the $10 discount you now have to have your tolls and phone line with them for the new plans. It is no longer good enough just to have your tolls. Reading their terms and conditions over the home phone line agreement doesn't really inspire you with confidence when they mention they have the right to change your phone number in the unlikely event this is required.

This morning things seem to have settled down ?? , speeds back to normal ?? 3041/134, but not what you would call UNLEASHED, IP still in the 125.xxx range.

It's yet again all a big Telecom/Xtra hoax or con trick. In going from Adventure to Go Large, my international speed has also dropped like others has, from below dial up speed, eg 38Kbps up to the best of about 450Kbps, but most generally around 2 to 4 x dial up speed.

Youtube has gone down the tubes, and if I try to download a pre-recorded music program of around 50MB it trickles in at about 6-11 KBytes/sec, just like dial used to be.

Why do i feel that traffic shaping is in effect right now, when im clearly out of peak times?!
