... which is great is you're a resident of Wellington or Christchurch.

You only have Aucklander's to blame when you guys didn't get it back in the 90's.

771056 2009-05-05 00:37:00 We have HEAPS of fibre-optic cable that was buried in Auckland's streets in the 90's by the power companies (Mercury and Power New Zealand/UnitedNetworks). But it's either being used just for businesses or ignored. Don't understand why it's not being used for residential customers. johcar (6283)

I live in Christchurch but can't use TelstraClear as they did not wire up our street. :crying

The next street has it though. :annoyed:

Why didn't you put an apostrophe in "guys"? You put one before every other s, don't you think that s might be getting lonely?

771062 2009-05-05 01:58:00 Woo! The last place I was in, we tried to get TC, but because we lived in a block of flats, the landlord who owned two units blocked TC from digging up the drive.

Maybe I can get this now that I live in a new block of flats!
