Ok. I found it out "Size Core" is like a 0+2 but its a 0+8 which means he
shares his telecom bandwidth with 8 other customers! Those on 0+2 will know
that the quality of those lines (BAD), so a 0+8 will be MUCH worse(useless).
The best the customer can do is contact 123 and see if there is an
alternative feed available now, and they may change the customer over.
Secondary they can contact 120 complaining about their connection speeds
below 28800 as this is what telecom "Guarantee" (depending on who you talk
to)

They had those in Albany as well... not "party lines" but something akin to "multiplexed lines".
Anyway, the guy who runs the Internet café on Waiheke (nice food there, btw) says there's only a single coax cable connecting the island to the mainland. Says he's lucky to get 33.6Kbps, and when the banks offload their data (EFTPOS etc), the connection just croaks.
