ISPs have to pay others for the use of their bandwidth, often the owners of the communication circuits have nothing to do with the industry. They are investors.

A Lot of $ are paid to overseas companies for the bandwidth, costs in and out of NZ are quite high.

Smaller ISPs have exited the business as costs are too high, you need a LOT of customers paying steady $ per month to average out the data costs.

Many people think that all you need is a physical connection to a phone line. You need the agreements as well.

I still havent seen a diagram, which would be really useful, as this is getting rather confusing?
Where do connections then from telecom goto?

94482 2002-10-31 03:43:00 There is a very good explanation and diagram on this website: http://www.orcon.net.nz/ click 'Products' then 'ISP Services'. If this doesn't explain it clearly enough then you should even be considering running a ISP. crozier (2004)

Just a thought, rang Barry on the 0800 number for quik, I'm sure he will explain a few questions that you wanna know.
