Hmmm seems to me that the said usage meter is still not right. Anyone else
checked and not had usage recorded on Sunday (26 Feb)? They appear to have
added a big wack of usage at about 8.00am today and then it says I was
connected when I wasn't. Is it just me <looking over shoulder> or are others
getting the same sort of thing?

Yep. Not a thing on Sunday, shitloads before I woke up this morning.

Yep it was out from around 13:00 on Saturday until around 08:4? on
Monday morning.

Same problem as the week before where it was out for somewhat longer.

If you really want to see what and what isn't happening with the
useage meter download the comma delimeted file and look for the gaps
in measurement. I import it directly into xcell or open office, it
works a treat, and certainly contains a lot of information.

It's a pity that amongst that information they don't include where to
and from the data came went as in their old useage meter, which unlike
the new one faild infrequently, was more up to date, and gave more
usefull information. I guess that's the price of progress.

Cheers for now

Can someone point me to where this usage meter is at?

Is this different than

Yup, new plans, new meter.

When I moved from the 2M plan to the 10, my meter moved too.

OK thanks, looks like I'm still on the old better plans

The new plans - I presume this is part of the downgrade where they take
away the 1/10th split for national traffic and force you to pay
homephone line tax if you still want their cable service?

Yes, but you do get twice the traffic, and excess traffic half GB blocks
are half the price. So it's worth shifting if you're using 7 GB or more
of international traffic (and not much NZ) on an old 5 GB acccount, even
if you don't want/need a phone.

Yes I do use it Ross. Usually save it as well just in case there are any
arguments with T/C.

Downgrade/ upgrade?
Almost all my traffic was international, and it was a real pain to limit
myself to 5 gigs.
I considered it an upgrade and saved money.

On the other hand, if I had known about Actrix before I had signed up for
the full meal deal at TC, it would be a different story. The costs to me
as a consumer, for moving ISPs, are keeping me from moving, and you can
quote me on that.
