Blah blah blah blahdy blah blah....... I meant this as a reply to Winnie, though you can read it too, if you wish pctek :thumbs:	Murray P (44)

Then they bump it up faster. He did admit that Telecom thought this would happen but with all the hassling they were getting went ahead and did it anyway. So....the way I see it - they either spend ****loads and upgrade all the hardware or put everyone back how they were. Hmmm. And Kool2me - its not just the rural areas that have this problem with the new speeds. Its all over the place, certain exchanges smack in the middle of Auckland too.	pctek (84)
451292	2006-05-03 05:13:00	Yeah I can vouch for that Auckland comment. I'm about as central as you can get, and a speed test done just now showed ~280kbps. I'm supposedly on 2Mbps.	roddy_boy (4115)
451293	2006-05-03 06:47:00	This is kind of off topic but telecommunications minister David Cunliffe announced that local and sub-local loop to be unbunded. www.beehive.govt.nz	STi (8857)

I'm no expert on it (which is probably abuntantly apparent), but IMO, the electricity industry in NZ is a fractured but, perversely doctored regime of vested interests . What I'm trying to say is, it's all in the fine print, how it is done, how well it is done . Yeah, I agree Murray . There is a view that a skinny, mountainous, sparsely populated country like NZ should only have one major electricity supplier . That way the whole system is integrated and everyone involved works together . Still room for smaller generators but the transmission lines and main generators would be integrated . We could call it . . . . . . . . . . . . oh I don't know . . . . . . . . . The Ministry of Electricity? :2cents: I've got this funny deja vu feeling - think I'll have a lie down . ;)	Winston001 (3612)

I wonder why the right wing reformists didn't suggest and implement the privatisation of IRD. Now look at all the opportunities, billions of dollars of income, the CEO could have commanded a sum that would make Gattungs pay look like peanuts :)	Terry Porritt (14)
