Not so either, its not just the rural areas that cant get High speed when they want it. I have a customer who lives in Riverstone Terraces (maps.google.com) - top /middle of that map - new subdivision a few years back, and still expanding - Look where it is in relation to Upper Hutt, which has both Telstra and Telecom services. They cant get ANYTHING from telecom, or Telstra over the last few years. From the Customer: Telecom -- theres a waiting list to get even the phone on ,let alone internet, -WHY - because theres no numbers left at the exchange, so the only way to get anything telecom is to wait till someone moves out of the area, then their line becomes available. Telstra - To small an area currently, the Telstra coverage stops at the river, and Riverstone is on the other side. The ONLY option they have is Vodafone Wireless for phone and Internet, which is slow as a wet week, not much faster than dialup. |

| 1145002 | 2010-10-15 10:15:00 | I disagree with Karameadave, although he has a point. I think that if we are paying for so called "Fast Broadband" as its advertised, we should be getting fast speeds that are up to play with the rest of the world. Those people in remote area's are just unfortunate. If they needed fast internet for their job, they should of found somewhere where they can access fast internet. So if I have a Farm in Timbuctu I simply move the Farm to Auckland or Wellington? What a good idea but maybe a little difficult I would suspect. I take it that I can't move a Farm to your place. |

| 1145003 | 2010-10-15 10:21:00 | There was a story on the news a while ago about a group of farms that pooled some money together and had a line from tje exchange run to the closest farm then installed some gear in a barn which enabled the farms to get broadband :pf1mobmini: |
