Default Re: What are the drawbacks of New Zealand

Well the drawbacks are the incredible slowness of what we experience as the Internet.

2K of data can take ten minutes to travel 60k to another server if you are connected with XTRA bloadblund (Broard band)..

In my search engines the Kiwi's get results upto sixty percent slower that users from the USA.

XTRA have a team of support personel who will one day learn to speak english and then they may get an idea of how the web works.

I called once and explained that the header code of my quasi pitched webspider was being stopped from indexing websites stored within the Xtra hosting. The person who answered the phone said "Blu wint ta registler um domin num do you?" When I said "No that not why I called" she replied well try and call a again and see if your understood!"
I have seen quicker dialup in outer banglarduffy which is a small mud hut in Africa.
