Where does this idea of of the customer deserving flatrate broadband for peanuts come from?
I beleive this idea comes from other countries where more than one
telecommunications provider offers DSL/Cable systems, and there is actual
competition.
This is a great improvement from Telecom, however does not compare to other
countries internet pricing. Being fair this could be put down to the lower
quanitity of usable lines in NZ compared to the US, I don't think we'll be
able to get the same prices as the US ever purely due to population density
restrictions, however I do think the price could be dramaticly lower and
Telecom still profit.
Dont mean to be a complainer, I do like these new Telecom DSL offers, they
are much better. JetStart actually qualifying as 'broadband' with the 256K
download spec. Speed limiting in my eyes is a much preffered alternative to
the huge cash bill at the end of the month.
