    Re: Hawaiian Telcom DSL

    Anyone else wants Hitel to change their web mail system? If I remembered, a few customers complained about how its organized, and that its hard to report spam mesages. I didn't realized how bad it was when I started using it at the beginning of this month. (yes, I have outlook at home and on my laptop, but its a pain to secretly plug my laptop into the school's network to check my mail on outlook)
    How'd I get so white and nerdy?

      Re: Hawaiian Telcom DSL

      I finally got my Westell modem last week and today I was transferred to ATM. I can't believe how fast my HSI is
      Right now I'm downloading at 2567 mbps (920.0 Kbps) and uploading at 333 mbps (41.6 Kb)

        Re: Hawaiian Telcom DSL

        Anyone knows how to get a website going with them? With Verizon, they offered a personal website. But when I inquired to HiTel a few months before the transition, they said that they'll do the same like Verizon. But its been a few months, and all I see is a blogging service, but I can't login with either my HiTel info or my old Verizon info.

          I had to "register" an account on Blogware or whatever through the window that popped up to get in, and in the end my username just ended up being "(HiTel parent username)hawaiiantelnet" and my regular password. Seemed a little pointless but I got in just the same. It's still just a blog, though.

            Re: Hawaiian Telcom DSL

            Anyone noticed inconsistent speeds with their Hawaiian Tel DSL service ?
            Since 6-25-06, my speeds have dramatically dropped off. I've noticed other
            people in other forums mentioning trouble ? But I'm just trying to gage
            how widespread it is ?

              This was the last time I got a decent speed test result :

                Aaron,

                Have you tried the systemmetrics bandwidth test?

                I know it's not as good as the ones on dslreports, but it'll at least help you pinpoint where the bottleneck is.

                Since HiTel has a HIX connection now, you should get near linespeed using the SM tester.

                    Can you send me a link to it, I would greatly appreciate it.

                    I've tried LavaNet's speedtest and didn't get really good results
                    (even when my connection was working)....Why that is important is...
                    I'm not sure how helpful the SM may be ?

                              Are you testing the speed of HawnTelcom DSL?

                              Have you (like me) encountered a marked slowdown in recent weeks?

                              My Star-Bulletin-owned computer is on DSL ... well, lately I've been thinking it's on LSD ...

                              My personal Mac is on Roadrunner and the difference in performance is distinct.

                                Yes I'm testing the speed of Hawaiian Tel DSL. Yes I've noticed a dramatic slowdown in speed. I haven't gotten decent speeds since 6-25-06. Evidently
                                I found out it is a congestion problem with Sprintlink and additional bandwidth
                                is on the way by Wednesday at the latest that will help alleviate the problem.
