Someone's got to take in all the fuckin kiwi's on their Big OE.

Apart from Australia??? Kiwis go there and think they have seen the whole world

There's a trial in south auckland as well, fuck knows why it's down there...

So the pirating of DVD and MP3's can be done much faster. Gotta keep the Otara market fully stocked!

[avgas]

I wish. I haven't worked at Telecom since '96, and my "career" has been in terminal decline ever since. Something about "not respecting Authority Figures", whatever the fuck they are.

Like Batman?

[James Deuce]

No, more like Cartman.

[MisterD]

Woosh and Vodem have latency issues in regard to gaming.

Buy a football, no latency here.

[James Deuce]

I did. Next door neighbour won't give it back. Bitch.

VDSL runs on fibre optic cable. Caerphiily in Sth Wales has been wired for this technology as a test case for British Telecom, population about 10,000.

Um yes but what I meant was still runs on your twisted paired copper in your house....

VDSL and Other Types of DSL
VDSL operates over the copper wires in your phone line in much the same way that ADSL does, but there are a couple of distinctions. VDSL can achieve incredible speeds, as high as 52 Mbps downstream (to your home) and 16 Mbps upstream (from your home). That is much faster than ADSL, which provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 800 Kbps (kilobits per second) upstream. But VDSL's amazing performance comes at a price: It can only operate over the copper line for a short distance, about 4,000 feet (1,200 m).




The key to VDSL is that the telephone companies are replacing many of their main feeds with fiber-optic cable. In fact, many phone companies are planning Fiber to the Curb (FTTC), which means that they will replace all existing copper lines right up to the point where your phone line branches off at your house. At the least, most companies expect to implement Fiber to the Neighborhood (FTTN). Instead of installing fiber-optic cable along each street, FTTN has fiber going to the main junction box for a particular neighborhood.

This was sourced overseas so isnt relavent to what telecom or anyone else is doing...just giving an insight on how vdsl works.

Do you live next door to Theresa too?

"No James, there is no football. We don't have the necessary resource to return your football, it's not a lesbian football." Then the whore will sell it to the yanks and use the profit to buy some shit house aussie company and lose money on it.

Bangladesh, Somalia, Wales, Gabon, North Korea,l Scotland and all those other places that are technologically and socially in front of New Zealand but behind such great nations as England, Hungary and Kazakhstan.

This is one Scotsman who's certainly behind an Englander tonight.

It would have been quicker if they had said what they really meant,

"Fuck off and die for all we care"

I'll have to wait a week or two. I cut my nails yesterday.

[boomer]

In that case.. send 'em a stink bomb; you have plenty of ammo.. i know!

I don't disagree that it'd be nice but it doesn't make business sense unfortunately... population density is where the coin is. Happy farmers are all werll and good but they don't put food on Arin's plate... he's got a lot of hungry little indian mouths to feed

I can't make a bloody voice call on my vodyphoney handset when I'm more than 1Km out of my little town so not a hope in hell of data calls. Hell, I can only get 4 @$ckin TV channels here and some mates on the edge of town basically can't get TV.

What about broadband over power lines? Why the fuck isn't that deployed out here? Oh I know..transco(n) are just as fuckin useless. They'd probably blame the electric fences just like Telecom do.
