| 1136514 | 2010-09-15 23:17:00 | More-so than 3-5 smaller companies would. The fact they have a stake in the SCC shouldn't affect it, as they're not allowed to give preferential treatment to themselves, lol your taking the piss surely, this is the real world. Not suggesting anything illegal but there is wriggle room to favour your own company. You do understand Telecom is a major share holder of SCC, and dividend profits flow back into Telecom?. There now seems to be a growing gap between what Aussies pay for data and what we pay. I really feel you are new to NZ braodband, you dont seem to have any knowledge of the last 10 years, or a "really" poor memory. |

| 1136517 | 2010-09-16 12:13:00 | With certain limits. The 2nd cable has no redundancy so any big company needing surety would still need enough capacity on Southern Cross to tide them over. Thats a good point about redundancy. If there is a big underwater earthquake it could potentially be a huge problem. At least the southern cross cable is a loop. |

The UK has the same type of shitty Incumbent as we have pulling the same tricks. Who do you think has been slowing development there the queen? www.guardian.co.uk |

| 1136520 | 2010-09-17 10:10:00 | Has any thought been given as to how these separate LFC's are all going to connect to each other and to my knowledge the only major linking fibre cables belong to Telecom and Telstraclear. Surely they will have to get back-haul capacity from either of these two companies. I really don't think that it will increase productivity one iota apart from keeping a few on-line gamers happy and illegal down-loaders over the moon. | fujitsu (13819) | ||

FX Networks and Transpower have a substantial amount of backhaul capacity. |

| 1136522 | 2010-09-17 12:03:00 | Too right. although people may not want the "fast" part it's the bandwith and latency that needs fixing. fiber would reduce international and local latency and improve internet speeds during peak traffic times. it also allows NZ to move over to VoIP more effectively and removes those useless 100kb/s upload caps that are the ultimate bane of my life. I do NOT want to have to pay another $10-30 on top of the $50 I pay for broadband so I can actually upload stuff. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
