| 667411 | 2008-05-08 22:24:00 | Hi all, I'm looking for ISP's that will provide wireless internet, because I won't have a telephone line set up (Don't wanna pay Telecom for a line I'll never use to phone as we would only use it for the internet) . We mostly just surf the internet, but occaisonally use the webcam so a reasonable upload speed is needed, plus a few gigs (2gb? 3gb?) for monthly total of download . I amstill 100% about our max spending limit for this, but rough guess is $50-$60 a month . But the more cheaper, the better! :D However, if there are any ISP's out there that uses phone lines, which don't belong to telecom (i . e . I don't have to pay telecom anything), then I will consider that too . thanks, caffy |

| 667413 | 2008-05-08 23:10:00 | For the price your looking, Telecom or Vodafone 3G would be the better way to go, assuming you get decent reception where you are and don't need more than 1-2GB of data per month. Telecom seems to be better than Vodafone for data cards, software's better, cards/dongles don't seem break so easily. We sell the Vodafone stuff...so I am not biased either way, recommending Telecom. :lol: You will get roped into contracts with both. Woosh wireless is also decent option, assuming you can get it, but that has it's issues too. Heres Telecom's (www.telecom.co.nz) coverage maps. And Vodafone's (www.vodafone.co.nz). |

Buy a satelite, shouldn't cost you much more than a few million, and then lease bandwidth from an international provider . You'd have effectively unlimited bandwidth, and probably in the Gb/s for download rates . That way Ms Gatting doesn't get any of your hard earned cash . |

| 667415 | 2008-05-08 23:34:00 | Have a look at Compass. You will need to have line of site to one of their transmission towers say within 15kms. Any obstruction such as trees will rule it out, you must be able to see the tower. |

| 667417 | 2008-05-08 23:49:00 | Regarding Compass, their prices and options look reasonable. Does anyone know where the Waikamete Reservior is in Henderson? Couldn't find it on googlemaps |

Have a look here: www.nzconnection.net At the Naked DSL providers. Also if you’re still interested in Wireless have a look here: www.nzconnection.net Hope this helps :) |

| 667420 | 2008-05-09 00:31:00 | Would this be it? (Compass) maps.google.com Wouldn't have a clue! I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I can see the road name but not sure where the atenna or dish or whatever is |
