| 559469 | 2007-06-16 04:33:00 | Still in Tauranga Jester? I live in the CBD. Businesses in the CBD have high-speed internet, but for some reason the max line-speed to my house is only 1.5Mb. I'm less than 3km (or was it 2km) from the exchange (following the roads), and my old place (8km+ from the exchange) has full speed. Telecom tells me it's because I'm too far from the exchange :mad: Mike. |

| 559470 | 2007-06-16 04:54:00 | And...you CAN'T get FIOS? I'd be jumping up and down to get it if there wasn't any twisted copper in the ground. If you have cable, then you also have FIOS...and some serious speed too! I don't get it..doesn't NZ Telephone offer FIOS? |

| 559472 | 2007-06-16 05:16:00 | FiOS (Fiber Optic Service) is a fiber to the premises service offered in the United States by Verizon; my ISP . Verizon has created considerable stir in the area of broadband Internet, as it is the first major U . S . carrier to offer such a service . FiOS started as a pilot program in Keller, Texas, but is now expanding to other places . It is readily available with very little investment to the provider if the cables are already in place . It carries television (HDTV and regular broadcast), telephone, Internet at a minimum of 6 . 0M, and is interactive with "Intelligent Homes" by various manufacturers at this time if the correct appliances are installed . Heating/AC, lighting, fireplaces, exterior recreational areas such as pools and spas or barbecues etc . can be turned on or off, and climate controls can be addressed from any distance, and even refrigerators can order foodstuffs as they become necessary from either the market or inform the house owner to pick up the items at the next shopping trip via a screen or printout in their vehicles . Orders to the markets can also be sent via the same network without any owner's interaction . . |

Nope, only Wellington, Kapiti or Christchurch get cable (& not all of those areas are coved by cable), & cable is provided by TelstraClear. Although they are places around Auckland that have dark fibre (fibre not in use) telcome owns it thought :groan: |

Doncaster Drive, not 30 metres from our house has adsl, just not our street or side streets off it. Telecom have said so many different things over the past few days I don't know if they know what's up. I have had the 'no room at the exchange' line, the 'the cabinet you are connected to is not adsl capable' line, the 'you are rural and should try our farm wireless solution' (???Rural??) line. I'm pissed off, at Telecom, as well as the Developers of the subdivision (Generation Developments, who initially played dumb until I visited a few neighbours and found out that they were fully aware of the issue). I'm emailing everyone I can via dial-up, which I can only get on my laptop, and generally making my views known. |

Can't you get telstra cable internet which uses those fibre optic lines, if it is a new sub division . If the developer didn't install copper lines, then I believe that it is solely the developers problem . It sounds like the developer has made a major stuff up . Personally I hate those new subdivsions that are being built, with these cheap 'Golden Homes' that all look the same . I don't know why anybody would want to live in them, and the developers are raking in huge profits on them . |

Edit: I have reread the post and you proably aren't in an area, but you should proably contact telstra to see when they will be installing it in your area.
