www.nzherald.co.nz

If you live in Wellington, Kapiti or Christchurch, Telstra is giving you 2 mbps download/512 upload, 1 gig per month (kinda small) but for only $39.95 or 5 gig for $59.95.

Now we're starting to get somewhere with "proper" broadband.

Come on Telecom, what can you do to match this? Do I have to move to Kapiti to get broadband now? Actually, Im not to sure where Kapiti is :-)

Just south of Auckland, near Invercargill, Nelson and Taupo.

Sorry Barnabas, you simply cant post links that word-wrap in the input window. The word-wrapping adds spaces when its displayed.

219382 2004-03-01 20:08:00 Looked good until.........


Each of the above plans requires users to rent a cable modem from TelstraClear at $10.95 a month.

Barnabas, Kapiti is about 30mins or so drive north of Wellington, on the west coast.

219384 2004-03-01 21:38:00 How about these (www.nzherald.co.nz) plans then?? Are you reading this Telecom?? CYaBro (73)
219385 2004-03-01 22:07:00 Well ... CYaBro, they killed 22 people and destroyed 2000 houses to get that going - where do you suggest they carry out such a clearance here? godfather (25)
219386 2004-03-01 22:27:00 I know a city they could blow up ]:) CYaBro (73)
219387 2004-03-01 23:23:00 You can bypass the cable rental issue by buying your own, can't you? Are those available from www.ascent.co.nz compatible with the Telstra set-up? I'm seriously considering taking up the new service (I live on the currently very wet Kapiti Coast). karent (5222)
