| 346531 | 2005-04-19 00:03:00 | Moving to the Whangapararoa Peninsula shortly, have heard bad stories of broadband access there, does anyone here live there and how are your experiences? | snoopy (74) | ||
| 346532 | 2005-04-19 10:38:00 | You might be one of the lucky few in NZ with real broadband choice snoopy, look here and click on 'Orewa': www.wiredcountry.co.nz | Eend (7932) | ||
| 346533 | 2005-04-19 11:40:00 | I have good speed, nothing wrong. Apparantly there is a telephone exchange or something around here, and it is meant to be good for your internet. You can tell I don't know what im talking about :-), but no, i dont have any problems Oh, and a future welcome to Whangaparaoa. Do you know what area you are going to? |

| 346535 | 2005-04-20 12:24:00 | I live in orewa and had a problem getting broadband originally . Apparently the "box" in our street which the phone lines go through was the old copper or sumthin like dat, neway only 3 houses on our street culd get broadband, too and fro with telecom who eventually say they'll switch us onto anutha line . The availibility of broadband is actually fairly poor out here, and u may find that you cant get it but yoru neighbour can . Good luck with the move and hope you enjoy it here . |
