Most NZers get their broadband through telephone links. Cable is available in very few areas (All inner-city, I believe - but no doubt someone will say if I'm wrong)
Wireless is also limited to certain areas as yet, though spreading slowly.
So most of us don't have the choice of signal you get in the States.

As far as I know, the "2-wire" wall boxes now have all three of the push-in "IDC" connectors on each side of the socket ("1,2,3"; "4,5,6") connected together and only to one socket pin ("2" or "5") on each side, so you can use any one free IDC connector on each side.
