| 559489 | 2007-06-19 07:09:00 | The school about 300 metres from us has broadband. I am currently looking into EOL wireless but are to put a proposal to the developers first. Mike, are you still at your job when we last talked? I may PM you for some help :) |

Mike, are you still at your job when we last talked? I may PM you for some help :) I do believe the developers have a lot to answer for. As broadband is a key service these days, they should have informed all buyers that broadband wasn't going to be avaliable. |

There will be multipair copper cables passing all the houses, fed from the cabinet(s), so copper pairs are no problem. There are different types of cabinets. More capability probably means higher cost. In this competitive market driven economy, I wouldn't be surprised if Telecom asked for a contribution from the developer. After all, more services means the developers can charge higher prices for the houses. But I wouldn't be surprised if the developers made sure any such contribution from them would be the smallest possible. ;) |

| 559494 | 2007-06-20 02:02:00 | Latest: Our Network planning team make the decision on which Broadband Technology is available in each area. The Developer may discuss this with our Network team but this is not a requirement of the sub division. The cable you are on is what we call PCM - this is a digital scheme for transmitting analog data. Basically there is technology in the cabinet that coverts normal phone service to a digital signal to give a better phone service. Broadband is not compatible with this type of technology. We are committed to providing a Broadband solution to as many New Zealanders as possible. While Xtra Broadband is not available in your area, our other products such as Mobile Broadband or Satellite through another provider do provide an alternative.. Why on earth would they use cabling that can't deliver a product they advertise constantly is beyond me .... |

| 559495 | 2007-06-20 13:27:00 | Why on earth would they use cabling that can't deliver a product they advertise constantly is beyond me .... That's what they specialise in doing - promising the earth and often delivering nothing. That we even have a phone service that works is a continual amazement to me. When you have a company that in one instance offers a new cellular system as being "027" and then in the next instance tells people their new number starts with "0274" it's not too hard to see that they really have NO idea. A caller ID service that can be blocked - what's the point? Broadband (assuming you can even get it) at a theoretical 3Mb/s when the network can easily handle far more than that. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. |

| 559496 | 2007-06-20 21:25:00 | That we even have a phone service that works is a continual amazement to me . Other people are amazed that bumble bees can fly . I'll be amazed if IP telephony is a reliable alternative anytime soon . When you have a company that in one instance offers a new cellular system as being "027" and then in the next instance tells people their new number starts with "0274" it's not too hard to see that they really have NO idea . They also have numbers beginning with 0272, 0275,and 0276 . "027" is a general term for the CDMA network, it has to be followed by something unless there's only 1 phone on it . A caller ID service that can be blocked - what's the point? From the horse's mouth "Caller Display must comply with the Privacy Act . Telecom's understanding of the Act is that it is important for ALL CALLERS to have the ability to restrict display of their numbers, should they wish to do so . " Same principle that using soupertrouper blocks your id . Broadband (assuming you can even get it) at a theoretical 3Mb/s when the network can easily handle far more than that . What "theoretical 3Mb/s"? I'm in an area that hasn't been screwed by too much development and the speeds here are OK until capped . |

"027" is a general term for the CDMA network, it has to be followed by something unless there's only 1 phone on it . The 0274 comes from the people getting switched over from the 025 network . Since 025 only had a 6 digit suffix, and 027 has 7, they had to include an extra number in the prefix so people could retain their 025 number . So if your number was 025 123456, your new number would be 0274 123456 . |
