659990 2008-04-18 05:23:00 Well, not all of Christchurch but around 15000 people around Riccarton/Spreydon are without any Telstra Services (TV etc). Someone took out a phone pole with a car.

I've had to dig out an old dial-up account, I'm sitting in the hallway of our flat in a rather awkward position next to the phone jack - I feel so retro.

It'll be midnight before services are restored according to Telstra. That's quite a long time for that many to be without Internet.

So if your expecting an email from Christchurch today don't hold your breath :rolleyes:

I thought most of their wires were on poles, apart from areas where no poles existed. Saturn who set it up, got a lot of stick for setting up these ugly fat wires throughout wellington.

659997 2008-04-18 08:59:00 Could this be a conspiracy plot devised by Telecom in order to dig dirt at their competitors?
