497493 2006-11-08 08:01:00 I was surfing the Gameplanet (www.gpforums.co.nz) forums and under there Broadband forum (http:).

I found an interesting thread on Exchange Locations (www.gpforums.co.nz) & found they have setup a wiki on Telecom NZ exchanges locations ( hwiki.digitalsouth.net.nz)

I thought this may be a useful resource for people wanting to know where there exchange is.

Disclaimer I don’t know how accurate the data on exchange locations is.

497495 2006-11-08 11:27:00 Even someone as ignorant as I am about its accuracy suspects it's far from complete.

I see that Auckland has 20 exchanges and Christchurch 6, while Wellington & Dunedin have 1 each.

The Dunedin address is a street name I recognise. It's a quiet residential one in North-East Valley. Certainly, the street no. given is close to a main road, but it's laughable to suggest that's Dunedin's only telephone exchange.

Presumably the Wellingtonians here should be even more surprised about their single entry for our capital city..?

Edit: Yes Laura, it is far from complete. It's hard working trying to find out where the exchanges are, Telecom does not disclose this information easily.

497498 2006-11-08 13:32:00 it's far from complete.Haven't looked into it properly, but it's user-contributed. Ergo it's unlikely to be complete, or necessarily accurate. Greg (193)
497499 2006-11-13 10:17:00 The list on that website is missing 2 exchanges within 4km's of my home. :confused: LCA (11357)

Like I said don’t know how accurate the data on exchange locations is :), I only posted this to give people an idea & to help them get more info on there Exchange locations, since this questions has come up quite a few times :)

If you post the locations of the 2 missing exchanges here, then we can build a better list ;) :).

497502 2006-11-13 18:25:00 Well my husband could tell you where all the exchanges in the north of the north island are.

But who cares? What difference does it make?
