Re: [nznog] Commerce Commission - bitstream etc. FUD!

Yeah. that would be right @ $2k for 10Mbps national. You seem to have confused national vs. international bandwidth pricing.

Not too long ago I got quoted +-$2k per month for a 10meg fiber link, this included 10meg national connectivity and no data charges.

Seems a bit expensive for a 2 meg connection :)
