You had to pay at Vibe, but not at Ultra - and Ultra had better internet.

Wow what a score! I like the ping too. And is that also when everyone else is using the net at the same time?

Who can explain this?

Looks to me like a netspace account that's gone over it's limit...

All Netspace broadband plans (excluding the Starter Plans) are Flat Rate by default, meaning they have a fixed monthly download allowance after which traffic is shaped (your Internet speed is reduced to regular dial up at around 56k).

Thing is though, that's actually dial-up, not my shaped broadband...
House needs rewiring, so I gotta use backup dial-up for "2 weeks max" (read: "Until Telstra/landlord feel like doing it")
