    Telecom Broadband is an oxymoron. Unless you're paying heaps.

    Go Cable...

    Agree. I have just received BB at home since TelstraClear have removed the "mandatory" toll-spend requirement from their plans.

    Yeah this is the main thing with broadband. It's not just quicker - it enables you to do new things that were absurdly time-consuming before.

    essential NZ broadband tools are (help me out here people);

    Driving instructions / trip planner

    The speed of course is an advantage but for us one of the biggies was finally getting around to networking so all the PCs in the house can be used which depending on how many offspring have been home has been up to 6 or more because everyone seems to want about 2 each going at times.

    Luckily our offspring is only 4 but has just discovered the joys of a Dora the Explorer PC game so we might have more competition soon. Anyway we are a single PC household

    I am on the vodaphone/Ihug deal on bband. Its great.
    I was on vodafone bband in portugal that was GREAT with wireless in the vech you could still use the net with out loss while driving. (NOT THE DRIVER USING IT)........ It was automatic changed over to best signal. As long as each country you were driving in had vodafone you were set.
    laptop was pluged in ax plug.
    If you are behind meDont ask as I am lost too.

    Broadband here is pretty slow compared to the US....t'was like lightning over there. From what I hear other countries are even faster, such as india.

    But I fully agree it owns dial up any day of the week. Could never go back to it.
    What you have in your heart will be revealed through what you have in your life.

    If things are going badly in our circumstances, the answer to what is happening to us outwardly is more often than not found in the mirror.
