| 557972 | 2007-06-10 22:19:00 | WN has just halved their speeds to 1Mbps/512 and added $1500+GST to the cost of the installs. This is for the satellite dish etc apparently. Think they just shot themselves in the foot. We have resigned as installers. |

In any business, if the money coming in from the customers doesn't exceed the money going out something has to change. This rule applies even to Internet bandwidth suppliers. I thought that "burn rate" was unfashionable as an indicator of merit in the Internet business these days. |
