| 1322007 | 2013-01-09 12:01:00 | What we have is a few people getting a sporadic service - the costs of trying to have a fancy roof before you get a foundation in is more or less giving us what we've got. There is not a great market for the junked gear, and meanwhile a large part of the population is denied even an adequate ADSL1 level. Get something rolled out across the country before chasing rainbows. Rural areas have still got sloppy service, some of the time. Let's cut off all the Mac users, so the bandwidth could be used by real people ;) |

| 1322008 | 2013-01-09 12:11:00 | They're rural, it's part of the lifestyle they choose. It's simply not cost-effective to service them in a similar manner as urban users. If it was cost effective, and there was a profit to be made, don't you think somebody would be doing it? I don't complain about not having 5 acres of land out the back of my place, but that's part of the lifestyle choice I make by living in urban Auckland. They choose to live rural, it's bound to happen... Same with delivering regular mail, takes longer, costs more. Again, I fail to see the point there? |

| 1322009 | 2013-01-09 14:34:00 | Well I think that settles it, the general view (which I support) is that the cuts are excessive given the fact chorus are spending big upgrading the network. Perhaps 3 years ago the cuts would have been approved but chorus are making good use of the money at this time. Key is looking to over rule the commission BUT not just for fun - because there is a genuine reason, that being the cuts are excessive/money is being returned to the system SO Key isn't being a free minded lad over turning where he sees fit. He is making a calculated decision. Right, now I have that out the way lets continue our network debate, R2, your move :) |

| 1322011 | 2013-01-09 19:37:00 | So let me get this straight, you would prefer to simply stay on ADSL1? You'd prefer they didn't re-invest money into the infrastructure? And finally, you'd prefer it was a significantly longer loop between you and the Exchange because there's no cabinets, which means even slower speeds still?! Because that's what it sounds like you're saying to me? It's publicly available on a myraid of sites :p . comcom . govt . nz/media-releases/detail/2012/commission-announces-proposed-wholesale-price-for-broadband-bitstream-service" target="_blank">www . comcom . govt . nz That cost right there is the cost of a *port* to rent from Chorus . Data is on top . I'm pretty confident there are other places on the Comcom website where you can pick up *complete* 100% details on all their pricing, from the cost of a port for BUBA vs EUBA, as well as the cost of sending out a Chorus technician if a fault is found, if no fault is found etc etc . . . Have a good dig around there, pricing is all there, but the $22 pricing is the key point here which they're wanting to reduce . That's the price that I'm saying it's stupid to reduce . The Commerce Commission (On that page) are also saying "We have a far too small data set, for a stupidly retarded way of doing this, but we HAVE to provide a figure, so here it is" . Care to explain? My comment was aimed at Prefects belief in a God like veneration of JK |

| 1322012 | 2013-01-09 20:22:00 | You don't seem to be reading what I have said properly as that gives the cost of the UCLL not the the cost to supply that UCLL by Chorus so there is no way of making an informed decision as to if the commission has been fair and until I see it I won't be deciding one way or another. Sorry mate, must have missed this last night. Nah my point is more: It doesn't *really* matter what the raw cost is, the base DSL charges are not where we're being screwed. Looking at Flip who can offer Phone + DSL + 5GB for $50 vs most other Telcos offering a straight phone line for $45, then compare all other ISPs with larger data packages, you see that where we're being screwed is the per-GB data. My point is that is where we should be looking, and even the commerce commission are dragging their heels in this report. That said, I think this is the file that you're after: www.chorus.co.nz |
