| 559498 | 2007-06-21 05:37:00 | Aha! I always wondered why people were formatting the numbers as "0274 123 456" instead of "027 412 3456". | Nermal (7077) | ||
| 559499 | 2007-06-21 09:28:00 | It's looking worse, unfortunately: I have heard from the Network Planner this afternoon, and have been advised that there is no work planned to enable the Broadband service in our current budget, or within the next financial year. The upgrade of the network is dependant on a number of factors, demand is one of them. If you are aware of neighbours in the area that are also interested in the Broadband service please encourage them to go online and check for availability as you did. This will also add their names to our Broadband registrations of interest database, where this information is used to assist our Network planners. As previously advised, we are committed to providing a Broadband solution to as many New Zealanders as possible. While Xtra Broadband is not available in your area, you may be able to connect to Broadband using one of our other products such as Mobile Broadband, Xtra Wireless or Satellite through another provider. Mobile Broadband, high speed mobile data on your notebook computer, is available in every main town and city in New Zealand. For information on this service you can call Telecom on 123 or visit www.telecom.co.nz/mobilebroadband for further details. Alternatively Xtra Wireless may be available. For further information please visit www.xtra.co.nz/wireless for details on availability, plans, and pricing or call 0800 55 50 77 to discuss this option further. We are in one of the fastest growing areas of the country, and all around us gets adsl. It just doesn't make sense. :angry |

| 559500 | 2007-06-21 11:49:00 | Start by doing as the man suggests, wind up the neighbours, get them all complaining about no service as well. Then get the local paper involved. Give Clarkson something to do. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 559501 | 2007-06-21 21:14:00 | Try your MP, Fair Go, Consumer.... go for the works. :p You have my sympathy Jester, I don't think I would be able to believe it either, if it were me. :( |

| 559502 | 2007-06-22 03:03:00 | I am sorry to hear of your problem, Jester. I have heard others speaking of the same problem around Tauranga. However, I don't imagine it is solely Tauranga with that happening. Some of the exchanges do need upgrades. When we arrived here there was no room at our closest one (about a 5 minute walk, around the corner), as a result we are now linked into one at Mount Maunganui. Maybe if you change your name to Jenny G, action will be speedy. |

If you're in the BOP, why not look at wireless broadband through EOL. www.eol.co.nz I think their costs look pretty reasonable. I also live in a subdivision in the King Country with no broadband capability so am looking at mobile broadband options. Unfortunately dont have a wireless provider over here like you guys do. |

| 559505 | 2007-07-04 23:30:00 | 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. Mmmm. But the new number is not 0274 123456 - it's actually 027 412 3456 if you work the numbering on Telecom's own numbering structure. This is the issue - they don't even follow their own rules. |
