1394850 2015-02-22 22:00:00 Here is a quote from today's Herald on Chorus 6 months results.
We now have total broadband connections of 1.19 billion.

"Total fixed lines rose 5,000 to 1.78 million in the half, with declines in its baseband copper line connections offset by gains in naked basic/enhanced unbundled bitstream access (UBA)/ naked very fast digital subscriber line (VDSL) and fibre connections. Total broadband connections rose 23,000 to 1.19 billion, led by gains in the higher value lines, with VDSL connections up 43 per cent to 70,000, naked VDSL gaining 53 per cent to 23,000 and fibre connections climbing 71 per cent to 53,000."

1394851 2015-02-23 00:01:00 You don't actually believe what you read on the Herald's site (or in their paper) do you?

If you do, you'd be the only one (apart from the so-called journalists who 'contribute')

1394852 2015-02-23 00:15:00 So every person in NZ has an average of 25 broadband connections.... really? I only have one at home.. I need to get 24 more. ronyville (10611)

Check usage with your provider - maybe you're supporting 24 neighbours on your wireless!

1394856 2015-02-23 02:35:00 No fibre in this township and not likely to be. gary67 (56)
1394857 2015-02-23 03:32:00 They have been busy installing fibre here in Waikanae, no mention of availability. Cicero (40)
1394858 2015-02-23 04:27:00 Still tin cans and string here.

Spotted that idiotic number in the Herald too, immediate WTF moment.
