| 265830 | 2004-08-27 00:01:00 | Customer density, in a word. No ... not how dense customers appear to be when they are complaining ... but how many customers there are per km of network. NZ can never compete in this area, and never will. That makes huge differences in the economic viability. |

| 265832 | 2004-08-27 01:59:00 | But could you get that speed if it was available? "Most notably, customers must live near - between a quarter- and half-mile - of the telecoms exchange point Bit of a limitation for most. |

| 265833 | 2004-08-27 02:25:00 | they have got to get real. They can't keep charging customers the earth for a lowly connection... I HATE MONOPOLIES! |

| 265834 | 2004-08-27 05:02:00 | true. Multimegabit connections may seem far-out right now. But do we still have to lag behind with 256k connections max? I know there are faster alternatives, but really, are they viable? Put short, NO. I live quite some distance from the closest telecom exchange, but my modem still connects at 7.1mbits usually. Why not provide a cheap fast service if its in such high demand? |
