They say that broadband is necessary for New Zealand to keep up it's economic development... This probably means telling telecom to get a grip, or bringing in competition... Let's hope it's the later, then prices will ACTUALLY go down... Hey by the way, on this topic, are there any ISP's out there that support a static IP Address on a 56K Modem? What kind of pricing are we talking here? :) Erin	Guest (0)

They make a killing on Jetstream however so I guess it's not impossible that improved pricing could happen. I think a 256Kb/s plan might be within the realms of posibility.	Guest (0)
