| 291445 | 2004-11-14 22:18:00 | oh, one other thing, i do no that the Telstra Saturn Fibre Optic Cable runs along our road, there is a box with "Telstra saturn, please ring this # before digging" right by our house... | fergie (424) | ||
| 291446 | 2004-11-14 22:29:00 | lol, just rung Telstra Clear About the cable, they said yes there is a FO cable there, but its just linking Wellington to Auckland. I asked if there was any way i connect join, but they just said no |

| 291447 | 2004-11-15 01:01:00 | ok i see, now i think you should try the idea of that long range wlan and use that jetstream sharing of your friend, why does he have jetstream when you dont and he is only 300m away, strange and not really fair from telecom.... | Prescott (11) | ||
| 291448 | 2004-11-15 02:03:00 | > Do you use their services Megaman?? > or no of someone that does? nope. i just picked up their phamplet at the A&P show :P |

| 291450 | 2004-11-15 05:46:00 | I also rung Baycity, they offer ADSL and Wireless, and only resort to satelite if really have to. And i see why! $3000-$4000 installation (incl the Sat) $150 odd (can't remeber) for 256k/128k 600m limit lol |

| 291452 | 2004-11-15 07:09:00 | BPL (Broadband over PowerLine) is very unlikely to be "anytime soon" It requires a significant investment at a local level (each transformer) and overseas its hardly used (mostly due to technical issues such as radio interference). Every streetlight becomes a transmitter source of interference that wipes out a lot of local radio reception, just as one example. Some small scale use in Scotland in a trial. It works, but is probably more expensive per customer than ADSL over the phone line and would be horrendously expensive unless a whole community was to subscribe. It still requires a conventional broadband pipe from the transformer, so not a lot is gained. It has been tried (and abandoned I think) in one area in Auckland as just not economic. Link (www.computerworld.co.nz) The only solution for fergie is to get as many people affected by the non-availability in that local area as possible to register interest with Telecom. |

| 291453 | 2004-11-15 07:15:00 | Yea, looks liek that now! As for BOP, we were thinking (just an idea, probably to big for us!) of doing this for our Y.E.S business, just for our area, but the costs were way to high, and with ADSL speeds on teh rise, it looked like a very poor option |
