There are plenty of things a helleva lot more important than broadband. Such as preventing child abuse and neglect. Creating new businesses to provide employment. Etc

That nice man Mr Key and his lovely bunch of henchmen are getting right on that too. You've got nothing to worry about son, these aren't the droids you're looking for.

[Winston001]

Ah well that's alright then.


HDC your Borg Name. I yield to the Gibsonian construct.

Want to go partners in a pot hole filling company?

I have a research theory which is based on the scientific fact of "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".

My theory goes that for every pot hole that is filled in, somewhere a pot hole "appears".

My research has located the area of the world where the holes appear is South Western Turkey.
I'm quite serious. Perhaps Dr Robert Taylor should open a branch of his company there?

Want to go partners in a pot hole filling company? Either that or we could provide fibre to the home and get into the pot hole creation side of the business......

Spotted a company ute in Palmy the other day signwritten Pothole Maintenance - already got competition there :-)

I was in Africa recently, the people I was staying with thought 384k was fast (the product is called "Fast DSL"). Broadband connections are bridged at the router (well, bridge, I guess) because the state-owned monopoly telco doesn't do competition much. Each PC in the house sets up a separate PPP connection to the ISP of their choice, for a separate fee.

Faster speeds are possible but seem ridiculously expensive. A 50G plan and "4/10MB access" (guess which one you actually get) is about $200. That's without a phone line, or bundled router, both extra. And there's a $100 install charge. And even that's a poor comparison because typical wages are lower when converted.

NZ may be a bit backward but the Dark Continent is a hard place to be part of the digital generation. Explains why Sarfricans are such patient people, I guess...
