519088 2007-01-25 20:01:00 it seem everyone is blaming telecom for this but not the goverment. who open its lines? who made them bring out this unleashed bull****. 3.5mb was good and 10gb cap is ****, but we can live with it unlike now.... uncapped but speed is shocking slow.. I think you are getting confused between the words "unleashed" and "unbundled".

When Telecom chose to remove the speed restrictions on its broadband plans, they used the term unleashed to describe it.

Unbundling is what the government told Telecom they had to do. This means that competitors can install their own equipment in Telecom's exchanges.

I don't personally agree with privatising something that there can only be one of, but if you do and it doesn't work out, then you should have to live with the consequences (I guess if you want to be angry at someone, it should be those who privatised Telecom in the first place). I agree that the current state of broadband is holding the country back, but personally I think forcing Telecom to unbundle is the wrong way to go about fixing it as it discourages others from building alternative networks (such as fibre, WiMax or increasing the capacity of cellular mobile broadband).
