That sounds like your district exchanges has problems that Telecom needs to fix as up here in south/east Auckland I can get 3.5M, with out any speeds issues :)

451265 2006-05-02 07:34:00 I think alot of it is the amount of money you spend on telecom, you would expect to get a decent service that is fast and robust.

Unfortunately it is not the case at the moment.

1. Taffer

A word invented by the now-defunct Looking Glass Studios, used as a slang term in their 'First-Person Sneaker' release, Thief: The Dark Project (So named because of the games engine, which is simply called 'Dark' because of it's innovative use of light and darkness in gameplay.)

Taffer, insofar as the game environment is defined--is a bastardization of the word 'Trickster', a pagan deity with druidic tendencies. Much in the same way that the interjection 'Geez' in our English language is a bastardization of 'Jesus', the Christo-Catholic Messiah.

No direct denotation is given to the word 'Taffer', but from it's use, we can take it to be synonymous with many different nouns depending on how it's used. It can also be used as a verb:

Thief, Fool, Jerk, Joker, etc.

Noun(1): "Give that back this instant, you taffer!"

Verb(1): "Quit taffing around!"
Verb(2): "You mean he managed to fit -both- his hands up his gaping *******?! You're taffing me!"

All the phone lines down their road got disconnected. When they rang up (off a cellphone) to find out what was going on, (this was on Saturday), they got told someone had screwed up, but not to worry it would be fixed soon. So they asked when soon was, Telecom said this Friday. A whole freaking week. Useless.
