Earlier rollout date carries some risk

Despite recently citing “real technical reasons” for not doing so, Telecom now intends to release a 2Mbit/s Unbundled Bitstream Service wholesale DSL plan in March next year. The announcement was made to ISP partners last week.

At the same time, Telecom will also release the earlier promised 1Mbit/s UBS plan. In both cases, the upload speed will stay at the Telecommunications Act-mandated 128kbit/s maximum..... Read more here..... (computerworld.co.nz)

302678 2004-12-13 22:01:00 I think it's designed so Telecom can restrict the development of any Voice over IP applications from competitors such as Orcon and IHUG etc... Marlboro (4607)

302680 2004-12-14 06:31:00 Question is how much will it be?

Shame they have to be stingy on the upload speed. Doesn't do much for my bit-torrent ratios :(
