ADSLMAX


[link to this post]
 
Im looking at changing isp and was considering ADSLMAX

From what ive read so far there are mixed reviews on performance.

Im currently with Zen 2MB Unlimited. Im looking for a faster connection - unlimited downloads.

Any recommendations.

Should i consider ADSLMAX? Ive checked on Streetmap and im about 600m away from the exchange.

I'm about twice as far away from the exchange as you are, but my line length is about 1.5Km whereas straight line distance is 1.2Km.

Get Zen to check your line before you do anything. You might be 600m away from the exchange, but your line may make a very circuitous route and you could end up with no speed improvement!

AFAIK, only Ace are offering unlimited downloads. They have 2 products which fulfil your requirement, MAX8000 Home and MAX8000 Biz.

Home will get you up to 8Mb down, 448Kb up for

This is what I got from Zen.
5.79Mbps (741.6 KB/sec) down
0.68Mbps (86.5 KB/sec) up

This is what I get with Ace.
5.95Mbps (761.7 KB/sec) down
0.67Mbps (85.3 KB/sec) up
