Do you hav broadband at home? if not y? if u do what made you want to use it? If broadband was cheaper in nz, would you switch to broadband? How would you rate broadband in nz and your own country? Thnx! :thumbs:	techno (7508)
330566	2005-03-04 09:03:00	Do you hav broadband at home? if not y? no,because it is not availiable in our area, and also because Telecom wont upgrade our lines in order to get broadband if u do what made you want to use it? n/a If broadband was cheaper in nz, would you switch to broadband? yes How would you rate broadband in nz and your own country? umm not too sure, firstly they should improve the ability to get cheap broadband in the country then it would be easier to rate it :) hope that helps with your project :)	Prescott (11)

330568	2005-03-04 09:17:00	The state of broadband is now at an acceptable level as far as cost goes....The data caps are still pathetic. Telescum stand to reap millions of dollars from people who don't understand how small their data cap is, they are in near shock when you explain a gig is a cd and a half worth.	Metla (12)
330569	2005-03-04 09:23:00	Do you hav broadband at home? if not y? if u do what made you want to use it? No. Too expensive. Might get it in 6 months If broadband was cheaper in nz, would you switch to broadband? Probably would. How would you rate broadband in nz and your own country? Not that great at the moment anyway.... upload speed capped too heavily	Myth (110)
330570	2005-03-04 13:32:00	Do you hav broadband at home? if not y? No, can't afford it, i live in the whops anyway, would be be crap cos telecom SUCKS!!! All that money and it can't upgrade our f**king lines!!! *** do we pay them for!!? If broadband was cheaper in nz, would you switch to broadband? Definitely... How would you rate broadband in nz Crap... ****e... they need to make it symetric (i.e. 256down,256up) expensive shoddy... Our internet is worse than africas!	hamstar (4)

I agree totally, the pricing isn't bad at all, but the data caps are whats killing the broadband market. I would say the comfort zone for acceptable broadband would probably be around maybe 3Mbits or more with no data cap. Personally if we got faster connections with no data caps for maybe $10 - $15 more that would be acceptable in my opinion. cheers chiefnz	chiefnz (545)

Most of us use computers (and understand their general usage) more than the average "joe soap" - no offence meant! I am happy with broadband, am paying for the cheapest Telecom option (1Gb cap for $40), as this is not much more than I first paid for "dial-up" connection when I first started using the internet. I find the 1 Gb enough for my needs, but then I'm not gaming or downloading lots of music. Broadband may be less expensive in other countries, but they (other countries) pay more for other communications eg local calls are charged for in the UK. :2cents: Cheers R.M.	R.M. (561)
330574	2005-03-04 20:21:00	Broadband isn't avail where I am and don't think I woulkd anyway coz I don't think the speed gain is proportionate to the price increase. I'm a lite user. Have a nice life. m	mark c (247)
