605253 2007-10-25 19:50:00 Actrix is offering an uncapped speed, uncapped data plan.

But it's $496 a month....(and going up to $596 after the initial offer)

Ouch... if it was about half that i'd consider it.

605254 2007-10-26 01:51:00 are you saying it will take years for nz broadband to be able to compete with international broadband plans just because telecom/ the government is too greedy to buy better stuff for nz because even the uncapped speed, uncapped data plan wont go that much faster on these cheap lines nerd (109)
605255 2007-10-26 02:17:00 What makes you think NZ plans will ever be comparable with whats available overseas?

We are a tiny lttle couple of islands at the bottom of the world, hell, we dont even have a bridge to connect the two.

605256 2007-10-26 06:08:00 I think it is wise to just wait and see.

Who can say what these gits will get up to?

605257 2007-10-26 06:13:00 I can hazard a guess.

They will take as much as possible.

And supply as little as possible.

And all the while run a slick marketing campaign to keep us sheep docile.

Yes

What is your job, business, service ? etc and i'll tell you If I think you are too dear !

The government doesn't pay anything for our telecom networks as they don't own it !

What IS dear is hospital operations and aneathetist charges, and Mobile phone rates !

Kind Regards
