| 518992 | 2007-01-27 10:33:00 | Right. So if I ring the news and complain about my broadband here, crowds of ISPs and media types will flock to my door? :lol: You could try. You might get 15 mins of fame. Didn't you live next door to this lady when you lived in Auckland :p |

| 518993 | 2007-01-27 19:36:00 | Yes I think that in today's world telecommunications is too big a thing to be left to private owners. The government should buy Telecom back. Then sell off everything except the network and copper wires. This new company would not be allowed to offer retail phone and internet. The new company should be given a Company mission of "provide the best world class network" and charge just the minmium required to keep this up to date. They would be then be required to offer connections to any telecoms company at similar charges. Regards Digby |

| 518996 | 2007-01-27 23:46:00 | Also they don't have the resources or technicians to et everyone connected in one got. This wealthy woman (although by marriage) who complained, did nothing but queue jump, just becuase shes wealthy. |

If Telecom had played its cards right and kept the customers satisfied, they could have kept control. It is like the tortoise and the hare - the hare could have raced ahead and rammed broadband down everyone's throat, but no - she laid down to sleep and let all the competing ISPs catch up. Jenny Gibbs has helped preside over the biggest share price slump since 1987, does anyone have any sympathy? |
