As soon as NZ Communications are up and running, I'll be off and running to 2 Degrees. (Its a good ad too)

You and Telecom have been ripping me and the rest of New Zealand off for the last 15 years, and every one knows it. (Paul Budde, The Commerce Commission, The Minister, TUANZ, every overseas tourist and every Kiwi except you)

And along with your poor service (for a communications company) and the fact that send millions of our dollars overseas each year. I can't wait to join 2 Degrees.

And I will be joining them what ever their rates are just to stick it up to the duopoly.

789201 2009-07-05 09:01:00 So are they new kids on the block or just resellers like Clear mobile? We have been getting adds for B&W as well gary67 (56)
789202 2009-07-05 09:20:00 There not releasing pricing plans yet, so I reserve my judgment until they do.

I sincerely hope that they are competitive and bring down the cost of cellular services in NZ, but I am skeptical at the moment. If you had great pricing, why wouldn't you shout it from the rooftops?

789203 2009-07-05 09:30:00 Telecom are the specialists at shouting from the roof tops, and their pricing grates.
Vodafone likewise, but on a slightly lesser scale.

NZ Comms over the years have done a lot of empty shouting so they've probably learnt to keep quiet until they can actually deliver.

That will definitely give them a point of difference in the NZ telco scene. :thanks ;)

Aren't NZ communciations also laregly owned by an overseas company, I think it is South African, so they will still be sending profit overseas. I know some Moari group/iwi is also involved somehow. Telecom is largely NZ owned, by mum and dad shareholders, but their shareprice has been hit hard, with all the investment costs.

789209 2009-07-06 00:32:00 "A potential purchaser of our business"???? That suggests to me that they don't actually believe they will be in the game for the long-haul.... They're already thinking about how much dosh they could make by selling their customers (and network) to Telecom or Vodafone after they've been around for a couple of years.

I'd be VERY surprised if either of the encumbents has a clause like that in their T&C's...

Geez - that PDF you linked to Jen isn't even branded!!!
