| 873133 | 2010-05-23 23:04:00 | Yep, I am on FS/128 and it is fine. Me not upgrading to ADSL2+. Save my $10/month and the new router. Don't play games. But when I was with a 1.8Mbps connection youtube was fine - no pauses. |

| 873134 | 2010-05-23 23:05:00 | Explain? Infrastructure meaning a adequate pricing structure (affordable) for consumers. Not IT technical infrastructure. |

| 873135 | 2010-05-24 00:48:00 | The base plans are affordable, it's the cost-per-gig that's not. Infrastructure-wise, the Chorus ADSL2+ / VDSL2 cabinetization is well regarded as a world-class rollout, on-time, aggressive schedules, and top quality all the way along. From what I understand, similar things can be said about the likes of Telstraclears Cable network in Welly / Chch. |

| 873136 | 2010-05-24 00:55:00 | Yes maybe the wired plans are not too bad. 3GB for $29.95 what I pay is not bad. $49.95 for 10 or 20GB (for some) is also not bad. Up to $79.95 for much more which to many can be seen as unlimited is also not bad. Or even the $49.95 for that matter. For wireless $79.95 for a 4GB plan is a bit excessive though :) Perhaps $59.95 is ok. In the NZ context. Any reason why some ISP can charge $1/GB but Telecom does not? |

| 873138 | 2010-05-24 02:41:00 | ADSL2 is not world class ROTFL Correct, but their deployment of the technologies has been. |

| 873139 | 2010-05-24 02:55:00 | Correct, but their deployment of the technologies has been. So they do a great job of deploying a already inadequate technology,........................ thats nice! I call that a waste of resources. |

| 873141 | 2010-05-24 03:10:00 | I guess once nz is totally fibre optical cabled out, the bandwith will get maxed on the undersea cables. ASDL2 is sweet for most normal home use gamers excluded. |

ADSL2 "OK" for now, within 5 years (certainly 10) residential capacity requirements will grow exponentially, way beyond that that of ADSL2. Not to mention we have a real opportunity to finally stop the near monopoly of the incumbent telco. People are getting the international capacity and data charges problem mixed up with FTTD. It all need solving if NZ wants to compete as a knowledge economy in the long term, fixing one problem is better than fixing nothing. |
