Lease the connection to neighbours at a cost. I'm sure you can make something off it, at the very least enough to cover expenses. Unless the terrain prevents WiFi Thats something I have thought about and something I figure the community has thought about! The trick is getting chorus to splice us into the action. If it was so easy why had it not been done before now? I read the suggestion of vodafone well you can forget that! Only way to get vodafone would be at least 150 metre Aerial of which I think DoC and the council might shout about resource consent. The neighbour is up the hill and still can not recieve vodafone there. It alll boils down to cost! |

You dont here from them because they can not connect to the internet as easily as those with Broadband to complain they can not get broadband! At least I still can complain I cant get broadband until I cant get broadband and then unablee to complain I can not get broadband . . . . . . . lol |

I need to investigate this further we may scrap in but I know a neighbour 500 metrs further up the road has difficulty with BB. Sounds like a friend of mine, he can't even get dialup faster than 20kbps |

| 1283577 | 2012-06-25 09:00:00 | Not all techies own their homes though, and some people have not much choice where they can rent. Still, the unavailability of bb is pretty shocking in a lot of places. LL |
