Topic: Xtra (ISP)

	DirectEmail Xtra Documentation
		The Xtra does not depend on any other external application and can send e-mails with or without relaying through a mail server as long as there is an active Internet connection.
		When the Xtra is in safe mode it can attach files to the e-mail from anywhere in the local machine through a built-in file selection dialog box, or directly from the Shockwave support folder (dswMedia folder) or any other local dswMedia folder without displaying a dialog box.
		In other cases, the Xtra may not be able to deliver the e-mail at all, for example, when the recipient e-mail address is invalid and therefore the server that suppose to host such an account could not be found.

	: FryUp: Xtra (doesn't) get a virus called the blues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It's only when the ISP is having trouble keeping up with its own marketing department and the number of available lines or modems or pigeons with empty pouches on their legs gets too high and you can't log on that you notice.
		It's the same here - Xtra is the largest ISP in the land, so by automatically nailing viruses as and when they come through, the rest of us should be able to sleep easier at night.
		Xtra says the anti-virus solution, which it bought from Trend Micro, will be updated hourly, which is certainly more quickly than I would update my AV app.

		I have 3 ISP's Freenet, Zfre and Xtra.
		In the end I swapped my modem with my mothers (which was in a system I put together for her using a $60 56k modem), and now I connect at 52000 all the time with great throughput (use system monitor to check), and mum connects to ZFree at 48000 with no problems.
		Xtra?s response was 'if this were a major problem then everyone would be complaining'.

		Xtra has joined the battle against spam with the launch of its own spam filtering service.
		Customers are given the choice of receiving all their email with potential spam marked as such, have the email marked as spam sent to a separate folder automatically or having it blocked outright.
		NetGuide readers are the sole voters for this award they're asked to rate their current ISP on price, access, support and extras.

		Apparently, Xtra is now only letting people access their Xtra mailboxes through an Xtra login account.
		Telecom's Internet provider Xtra gave about 8000 of its customers an unwelcome early Christmas present on Friday when it cut off access to their email without warning.
		As you'll notice by the number of readers' comments on the subject, Xtra's decision to suddenly enforce one of the terms and conditions of its service provision contract has annoyed the snot out of many people...

	National Business Review (NBR) - Business, News, Arts, Media, Share Market & More
		One of the best-known Port 25 zombie stories unfolded two years ago, when a giant American ISP, Comcast, found that about 700 million of the 800 million daily email messages moving out of its subscribers' computers were being generated by zombies, without the knowledge of their owners.
		Comcast wasn't alone -- giant US ISP Earthlink, for example, has blocked Port 25 since 2000 -- but the practice was very controversial until spam hit torrent status several years ago and the problem becomes particularly acute when an ISP is providing the very speedy broadband that Telecom is about to launch.
		Xtra says Port 25 will will be filtered from April 26 and the filtering will be extended to all Xtra customers over several weeks.

	Internet News And Commentary
		Yes, that's right -- as I mentioned in yesterday's Afternoon Update, Xtra appears to be renouncing its status as a carrier (and the legal protection that offers) in favour of the right to vet and control the content it carries.
		However, it seems that this gross arrogance and incompetence on the part of Xtra is going to have a decidedly negative impact on their bottom line.
		Xtra's failure to promptly or adequately deal with this fiasco is about to cost them customers, make them a laughing stock in the industry, and open them up to huge legal risks by changing them from a carrier into a publisher.

	Is your ISP after your intellectual property?: ZDNet Australia: News: Business
		Xtra, the ISP in question, reportedly quickly changed its ToS, but included provisions prohibiting criticism of the ISP, and requiring users to "edit, delete or cease any future publication of any material or communication which we consider to be detrimental to our reputation or to our brand" (screen dump).
		Xtra defended its ToS, saying the intention was "to make clear that Xtra and its suppliers are able to deal with materials given to them by customers for the purposes of running their services."
		While the intentions of Xtra may have been perfectly benign, it does raise the question of what rights ISPs try to grab in their terms of service, and whether most users would read the entire document to discover what they are signing away.

	Computerworld > Xtra! Xtra! NZCS to debate ISP contract
		Xtra introduced a clause on April 4 which many users took to mean the ISP would take co-ownership of all material that passes over its network.
		Elliott says the two clauses in question, three and four, are broad in their reach and that clause three, which allows Xtra to block, edit or delete material it deems objectionable, goes beyond what is acceptable.
		Thompson says he doesn’t believe Xtra has the technology to monitor all communication that passes across its network, and that means this clause will only be applied in certain circumstances.

		Agreed.also,it is the responcibilty of your I.S.P to make sure that the service orders are in place,not xtra.They have their own team to liase with in telecom to get those transfers done.

		Xtra has announced a plan to block all outbound traffic on port 25 by the end of April.
		When Xtra makes this change it will mean that all alternate hosting customers using XTRA as an ISP will not be able to send email through their website mailservers.
		I would urge any XTRA customers to change to an ISP that actually cares about their client and does not dictate how you send mail.

		It is indeed refreshing to note that despite the previous ill-feeling which has been experienced between Xtra and other ISPs, at least some players realise the importance of the Internet industry maintaining a credible and responsible image in the marketplace.
		We would have felt better about it had Xtra been a member of the Internet Service Providers Association of New Zealand (ISPANZ), however, events that affect any ISP affect the ability of our clients to communicate and we are always willing to do what we can." said Anderson.
		Xtra thanked iProlink for the offer but declined, deciding they could deal with the potential problems of restoring the service in other ways.

	NZ ISP is content monster \| The Register
		Net users in New Zealand are threatening to cut their ties with the country's biggest ISP, Xtra, after it introduced sweeping new terms of service (ToS) that effectively hands it ownership of all content passing through its system.
		Xtra's move was jumped on by politician, Matt Robinson, who weighed into the debate warning that New Zealand's economic development faced a "serious threat".
		If this wasn't bad enough, it was then revealed that Xtra had a clause stating that users weren't allowed to be crictical of the ISP.

		Xtra’s site had far more substance — but all of it was obscured behind the dread dark wall of X-ville.

		Xtra launched with a general manager who barely spoke the same language as his peers, and policies that effectively ruined the kind of relationships making the Internet work.

		The principle that an ISP is expected to provide complete hardware and software support, education and training in everything to do with computers as well as charge low flat rates is rife amongst the greater New Zealand internet using public.
		It seems that ihug are the first ISP many new users go to but that within a month or two the merry band of other ISPs pick up a good proportion of those users, if those other ISPs are to be believed.

		Based on these figures, Azimuth have concluded that Telecom Xtra’s Basic plan pricing is 6th cheapest – even though it has the lowest datacap of just 0.2GB (when the average is a whopping 2.9GB for those that do have caps) and the lowest equal speed at 0.256mbps (where the average is 0.65mbps).
		While Telecom Xtra’s speed compares favourably, their datacaps, especially of their explorer plan are extremely poor.
		When comparing Telecom Xtra’s with the world average, the actual speed received as opposed to the speed advertised is highly questionable.
