Topic: Multi-millionaires and broadband

I dunno.. that sounds like something that either the Herald or Mr Cambell would be keen to feature.

Give it a go.. collect signatures or something. Telecom will fold. They can't afford the negative publicity at the moment.

A lovely young man knocked on our door this week trying to "win back" any Telecom business they may have lost.

He asked if we had broadband, I gave him an incredulous "You're not trying to sell broadband round here are you?" and he replied that it "has been a long day" but he'd learnt alot that his bosses obviously didn't feel it was necessary to teach a sales guy.

I think he must have knocked on the doors of all the Pt Chev BIC members, a group angry that internet access is on a go slow or simply not available!

It's nearly a year since my last post in this thread but the other day I was walking the kids home from school and had to navigate past some workmen digging a large hole in our new pavements. They were having a lovely day in the sun and were unusually amiable - and remarked that the work they were doing was to put decent broadband into Pt Chevalier. They got a great response from us!

Funnily enough, the broadband boxes are at the end of the road where one of the Telecom bigwigs lives

Technically? Yes, both Telecom and Vodafone offer mobile broadband solutions.

Wired into their premises? No. Not everyone has access to broadband at their home/business yet.

Yes, like most friends in here say, a signature-campaign would be a good option. Thanks.

So miss Morrigan, how goes the New Zealand Broadband Search?

and worse in some places they are sold a broadband service and can only get dial up speeds on it.

they are sold a service and its advertised "benefits" and it is false advertising, they are selling a "faulty" product and vodafone turn around and say "not our gear not our problem" but it is their problem.

This isn't me, I get good broadband, but a friend of mine has this problem.
