Sorry, but Jetstream doesn't provide cable TV .

Cable provides subscription TV services and internet is an additional service but the technology is different to jetstream which comes down your ordinary telephone wires . You have to live in a cabled area like Wellington to get cable TV .

Cheers

People seem to get cable and DSL(jetstream) confused, as said above jetstream is a service that lives on top of your phone line, cable on the other hand is a service that is bought into your house on an entirely separate piece of coax cable that terminates in a small connecter similar to that used for a sky dish connector.

As far as i know, cable is only available to those of us in CHCH or Wellington who have the option of Telstra as a telecommunications provider.
