    This is seriously a great result. Seriously, how long before Cunliffe is no. 2 on Labour's list?

    Oh, Russell, how could you have ever fallen into the notion that a 'spokesperson' would ever consider 'the truth' more valuable for dissemination than 'what's best for the creepies who have crawled up my arse and are talking out of my mouth.'?

    I thought only the NZ Herald was that naive.

    Also, what would a 40 gig connection do for global warming, I have to wonder?

    Blah blah... I appreciate that he's willing to answer the questions that we've asked but I'd be absolutely stunned if there was anything specific in his reply. What are the projected costs? 1.4 billion has to pay off. What are we talking here? 5 GB's for $50? $100?

    I really hate to sound like the nit picker at a sleepover, but would a substantive bit of estimitation really be out of order here? They must have some projected figures.

    (Actually, since it's Telecom, I'll just keep shovelling it on.)

    So is there anyplace I can go to get an idea of the expected timeframes for this great leap forward?

    This sure is great news...unless you live in the provinces. We didn't get C4 down here, looks like we'll be left out of the terrestrial Freeview transmission areas, and I guess we'll be waiting a (long) while before we see any of this roll-out from Telecom heading our way.

    But hey, fair enough, there's only 100,000 of us in Taranaki. (You remeber, we're the one's with all the milk and oil which pays for your new-fangled gadgets from overseas.) The Republic of Taranaki sure does have a nice ring to it sometimes...

    Rant over.
