522259 2007-02-03 12:40:00 No, I haven't.

But is that a TV version of what we all used as kids - with variable success, depending on how savvy the parents- ?:

"Everyone else at school has got one."

522260 2007-02-03 18:56:00 I have and I dislike it intensely ~ the advertising gurus in the major centers seem to have forgotten the many areas in NZ where the internet at any speed is NOT available. Same with mobile phones, coverage is not available in many areas either.
I had to deal with the TV version with my kids, hated that too and sold the TV so the kids would concentrate on their school work rather than the goggle box. Would do it again too.

522263 2007-02-04 01:12:00 I always felt that parents were actually punishing their kids b getting and exposing their kids to what is laughingly called "Broadband". Atleast with dial-up you know its going to be slow and agonizing. But when you get BB, their hopes are raised, their expectations high and those are just going to be dashed and smashed. beeswax34 (63)

Hahaha. Righto.
Come on, it's advertising. You all know telecom doesnt give a rats bum about who can or cannot achieve the maximum speed.. it's just customers they want, and plenty of them and they're obviously prepared to employ kids to promote their product(s)
