I would say XT. That crashed repeatedly in the first few months. This is only the first main/big issue for Spark Sport, isn't it?

That is right and I believe they changed it to $10 for 500 texts

How you could send 10k texts in a weekend and that would be back when phones had the number keys would it not ??. I doubt I have sent that many in my life.

How about The Xtra-Ordinaries? (note: I was working at Telecom at the time they came along).

Spark Sport or Telecom XT

 

Are you astroturfing? Prime News already got it covered with a shameless 10 minute beatup as their first item today

Telecom XT network launch for sure takes the cake!

Edit: SparkNZ is not the same business TelecomNZ was

Sorry, I had no idea they had run that, I do not watch Prime

I think the stats of 132000 peak versus 126000 at the end of the game that had issues shows it wasn't a very widespread issue. Social media is not a good place to get an idea from the issue as it's generally just all the p1ssed off people looking to vent.

XT on the other hand would have full day outages - that was a complete shambles.

Remember when they contracted Alcatel Lucent to build a GSM 850MHZ network and 2100MHZ for UMTS. Six months into the build they (Telecom) changed their minds and changed the specs to a fully dedicated 3G UMTS network using 850MHZ and 2100MHZ. what a cock up.

And also building a nationwide CDMA network when they should have used GSM tech.
