| 456979 | 2006-05-23 04:26:00 | I am very close to my exchange, yet only get a 2mb connection, not the 3.5mb that i pay for......... Lucky you. I'm 400m from ine and get an average of 633k. If I was getting 2Mb I'd shut up and go download happily. |

| 456980 | 2006-05-23 06:59:00 | UNCAPPED serviceAn uncapped service really wouldn't benefit 99% of consumers. It means that a small number of high usage users will download 24/7 and thus you will either end up with slower speeds or ISPs will have to invest significantly more money upgrading infrastructure, and pass the cost along to you, the person that has an uncapped service but only uses 10-20GB per month. Reasonable caps, eg. 100GB per month, I agree with, unmetered or "unlimited" I don't. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 456981 | 2006-05-23 07:05:00 | 7Mbps? Cool. But Canada already have residential internet with 6Mbps or more with unlimited traffic. And pretty cheap anyway for a month. The British are upgrading their internet this year or next year with faster speed than NZ. A lot faster, and allowance is still the same around 30-70GB traffic. | MTLance (6768) | ||
| 456982 | 2006-05-23 07:52:00 | I thought TelstraClear already offers a 10mbps download speed, 2 mbps upload, 80gb traffick cap and it costs something like $150 per month. Though you can only get that in Wellington and Christchurch. Could someone please correct me if im right or wrong. Cheers |

You can move there if you like. Better yet the taxation would be better too, take for eg., Australia. |

| 456986 | 2006-05-23 08:40:00 | Country land Area (kms) population ENGLAND 130,280 49,138,831 Canada 9,984,670 23,908,211 NZ 268,000 3,811,000. I think you'll find that's a tad inaccurate. UK (not England) - land area: 241,590 sq km/population, just under 60m NZ - land area: 269,000 sq km/population, just under 4 million Japan - land area: 374,744 sq km/population, squillions Either way, it's irrelevent. The population in NZ is mostly concentrated in one area (Auckland) with the world's largest city:nation ratio (Auckland has around 30% of NZ's population - Athens is next in line with around 28%) and should be a haven for fibre rollout/wireless offers/DSL options but is, instead, poorly served. Sources: population stats: Wikipedia (mostly from wikitravel). Cheers, Audent |

I am changing in 1 week to 10MB down and 2MB up cable with a 40 gig cap for $131 with phone (broadband costing about $89 ish ). A tad expensive but the pings are also a hell of a lot better (CHCH). If the retarded Auckland city council had of allowed Telstra to run there cables it would be available in Auckland too. |
