The question is not unlike how many houses can be supplied with electricity from a single power substation/kiosk transformer. The distances for the low voltage are similar. Typically it would max out at about 100 - 200 in a normal high density subdivision. So I fail to see how 20 would be the answer, the feeders (wires) radiate more like wheel spokes from each close sub-node.	godfather (25)

Whoever your ISP is, comes back to Telecom. I don't think any ISP in NZ can guarranttee that they can deliver faster speed than Xtra.	bk T (215)

Me I am with IHug and consistantly get 800KB/sec download speeds. Uses the bandwidth pretty fast but you dont have to wait long. Also it only costs $2 per GB over 20GB per month so economics are not all that bad in the end. I have only gone over the 20GB twice in 8 months.	Big John (551)
