| 1135051 | 2010-09-06 02:03:00 | Here (computerworld.co.nz). ...the services are likely to appeal primarily to business customers I read that to mean "expensive"... users must be located within 900 metres of an exchange or roadside cabinet to receive the service = the catch... |

| 1135053 | 2010-09-06 02:21:00 | 900m. I'd guarantee a lot if it was within 900m too. | wratterus (105) | ||

| 1135057 | 2010-09-06 07:31:00 | Rendering useless to everyone unless you have your own private exchange Err... based on the number of cabinets which have been/are being put in, there will be quite a lot of people within the range. |

| 1135058 | 2010-09-06 21:04:00 | 3500 in fact, which covers more of NZ homes and businesses than the Govt FTTH project. It doesn't really mean that much, them putting you back to ADSL2+, but is a nice gesture I suppose? |

| 1135059 | 2010-09-06 22:01:00 | And I bet it comes with a piffling 10GB cap too. Woo-freakin-hoo. Now I can use up my cap in 5 minutes instead of 20. Yay /sarcasm |

| 1135060 | 2010-09-06 22:12:00 | All that means nothing really, as per the article which has theoretical speeds of more than 40Mbit/s. Now lets be honest here -- even on the plans people have now, and going by the speed tests often posted, how many people actually obtain the full speed they currently have -- Next to zilch I bet. I had a telstra service guy here a few years back checking out the speed, he logged into some place within Telstra and downloaded some file, a direct tunnel he said and I got the 10Mbps. Edited: Heres a classic example, a speed test 9 MB download from Aussie -- Broadband Speed Test Results Test run on 07/09/2010 @ 07:18 AM Mirror: Optus Data: 9 MB Test Time: 7.94 secs Your line speed is 9.52 Mbps (9520 kbps). Your download speed is 1.16 MB/s (1190 KB/s). Wish I had that all the time - 9MB in just under 8 seconds. Any one interested heres the test site (http://www.ozspeedtest.com/) |
