Actually, the commerce commission have ruled the contract terms illegal, and are investigating telecom over them. Orcon may have the benefits now, and get the better deal later too. Only the big guns have the muscle to fight telecom, the commissioner is too weak to act alone and the politicians have yet to make up their minds July at the earliest, And by then Telecom will roll out ADSL2 and it all starts again. Oh for some other means of delivery other than Jet-stream. of course, If I move as planned, I won't even have that any more, its back to dial up. which is all there is for most of New Zealand. So shop whining and get back to to work, or Queen Helen and Princess Theresa will have to send the brute squad to sort you out ;-) Lets face it, unless someone can bypass Telecom completely its just the same old, same old, Maybe vodafone can succeed where whosh failed, but based on 3G range, I wont be holding my breath Anyway, I am now officially Off Topic, so I'll end here . Nuff Said
It would seem that Ihug and others who have not yet signed up to the latest round of Telecom contracts have been given the green light by the Comerce Commission to seek out alternative deals even if they have to go with Telecom in the interim. Yay for open market ideals!
Unfortunately Orcon have signed so may now be locked into their contractual commitment. This being the case, changes from them seem unlikely?
