| 1151825 | 2010-11-10 04:25:00 | I believe it's something to do with < 1000 homes in the area. See http://data.govt.nz under Infrastructure |

| 1151829 | 2010-11-10 18:47:00 | The price Telecom can charge customers will be different in rural areas with naked DSL Providing a service does cost more in a rural area and this is subsidised at present if you have an active phone number and the cost is the same whereever you are. With naked DSL the same price policy does not apply and the extra cost reflectes the cost of maintaining rural lines You might as well get normal BB with a phone line as there is not much difference in price compared to naked DSL |

Perfect business and makes sense:eek: |
