I must say, I have seen many complaints about ISP's and broadband before, but never written in what appears to be a poetry style ... |

| 407398 | 2005-11-25 17:58:00 | What the hell is everyone grizzling about . Not long ago everyone was marvelling at the breathtaking speed of 38 (whatevers) of dial up . And now we have the lightening speed of broadband, you are complaining . Some people are never satisfied . :confused: Haven't you seen the adds on TV for Xtra . They even offer you three months FREE use of their security programs for three months . Is this the same security that Ihug and others give you permanantly for free . :mad: Anyway if you are not getting what they advertise why not complain to the commerce commission? Air NZ is finding out that you have to tell the truth in your adverts . Surely Telecom aren't tellinf fibs too :confused: |

Or computers except for room size behemoths with lots of valves. And once there wasn't TV, or radio, or cars. |

| 407401 | 2005-11-25 20:29:00 | The copper wires are nearly 50 years old . . . ? Did that 800 million profit from Telecom last year give us optic cable ? No . sadly no Back to sleep we go . I never expected to find myself defending telecom, but, This whole country is being rewired by telecom with a system of fibre optic cables linking a few key remaining exchanges with many local distribution boxes that then feed copper for the last few hundred metres . The system is quite similar to that which Telstra has put in place for its newer network, except telecoms version means plonking big new white boxes where the old little green copper to local copper distribution boxes were, and swapping the 1000 or so copper pairs over, without causing any magor disruptions . I walked back from a party in New Brighton to my inner CHCH home last weekend, and there were 3 such operations observed in just over an hours walk . They involved a lot of dug up ground, tempararily repositioned old distribution points, and what looks like a nightmare for the techs involved . It doesnt take a genious to figure that new fibre could be extended the few hundred metres directly to consumers with relative ease from this new system, that replacing the 50 year old copper cables as needed with newer local ones will be a lot easier, or that the reduction in the lenths of the copper pairs and the amount of joins will ensure greater ADSL availability, and better capacity for speed . There's plenty to slag telecom off about, but failure to reinvest in the network is not a valid point any more . Telecoms properganda comparing the job to "rewiring a jumbo jet while keeping it flying" is probably a fair statement . |
