JimmyC:psychnurse:NonprayingMantis:trig42:freitasm: This is the response I received from Richard Llewellyn, Telecom New Zealand just now:
"We’re currently investigating this with providers to get confirmation, and if confirmed will arrange for any reconfiguration changes as recommended."
Nice work Telecom if they come through on it. Vodafone is being a bit quiet about it. I don't see it as 'enabling Netflix' as such, more fixing issues with their transparent proxy - we should be able to use the internet as we pay for it, not 'censored' by the ISP.
On a completely unrelated note - we have an issue with the new Telecom webpage at work (which we need to use on IE8). They have been very helpful and are rolling out a fix for it this week - pretty unexpected level of service as I was just expecting them to say "Use Chrome or Firefox if you can't update IE).
Not sure they would see it that way.
Of the only thing that doesn't work is netflix, a service that isn't supposed to work in Nz anyway, then I don't think anyone can blame ISPs for not changing their network for that reason.
It's called PR
Vodafone call it having a conflict of interest due to their partnership with Sky NZ. I'm very interested to see what they do in this instance, doubly so as a VF customer.
psychnurse:
In a deregulated industry, I guess it comes down to "do you want to be that ISP that didn't respond to customer complaints when most of your competitors took action?"

freitasm:robjg63: Think there is any likelyhood that vodafone will even be remotely interested in the above suggestions given their previous statements?
Might be useful to get a list of isps that 'fix' the issue....
I have contacted both Telecom and Vodafone to get an official word on this. Waiting for their reply.

Indeed. Not fixing the current situation would also cause a lot of people to re-assess who they use for their ISP, especially if there are ones out there who are known to be "NetFlix friendly".

mmk25: Hi,
Anyone had any luck with this yet?
I seem to be getting the same problem, I can browse Netflix fine but when I got to play something at about 50% it gives me the error 8012...
I use Firefox with media hint
My account is US and has my US credit card (I live in the US 1/2 the year)
Any help would be great!
