Isn't that changing in June when legislation is being passed to stop this sort of crap?? A friend of line in a block of home units has just been forced to go Spark Wireless because someone in the complex has blocked fiber install.

Yes.
No shared drive.

And I talk to my neighbours.

Hence my suspicion it really means, you're in a queue.

Everyone is so self absorbed these days they don't even know who their neighbours are. We always make sure to talk to our neighbours and often share stuff from our garden with them

Precisely why we went Spark Wireless, it was that or ADSL, no VDSL and we are in central Invercargill!!!!

Lucky bugger
We are in a far queue, now slipped to January 2018. My kids are hanging out for faster response on their kill em games. Got VDSL which was a big improvement.

Oh, it's still there, this is just a wee holiday.

@ gary67

DOC (and a few corrupt individuals in Karamea who think they will get rich snouting the public trough).

Seldom have I heard a Moa ridiculous idea.
