I thought Australia was bad, but you guys have it even worse. Even third world countries have high speed internet that is a lot cheaper and doesn't have any idiotic data caps. this happens because ISPs are too greedy and don't want to install expensive infrastructure for only a small amount of customers because it has an initial loss with uncertain long term gains. its all about the short term profit and forgetting about customers.
Hi There, I moved to Rolleston on 10March 2010 and still havent got broadband. I am with Telstraclear and have been told it wont be until February next year at least!!! How can I get help with this as we arent rural & Christchurch is suppose to be a main centre!!??PLEASE HELP :-)
If Telecom was a government owned company, everyone could expect coverage if the people were ultimately prepared to pay for it. But Telecom is a public company, and like any business, needs to run a profit. It seems the government wants the best of both world's - broadband for everyone, but it wants someone else to do it. Well this is the reality of a company.
