The Orcon crew invited us (Geekzone users) to join them today 19th February 2009 from 6pm to 8pm at Alice Bar (Forresters Lane) for drinks and a bit of talk - I guess there will be an announcement there too.

Feel free to join us there.

good timing as I am considering changing ISP but was waiting for someone to bring unbundled DSLAMs to Wgtn

Please ask if they are installing infrastructure whether this will includes the suburbs specically Johnsonville

Oh yes, just do a search for "international bandwidth", "latency" and "dropouts" in the Orcon forum!
