They have done this because telecom will be getting all the mobile broadband users who are here for the world cup ! If my sources are corrcect, they have been installing HSDPA . XT already has this.

Quic Broadband

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

This cracks me up!

Vodafone MBB speeds have been better for me in Rotorua since the weekend - not just speed tests everything downloading emails, web browsing all faster.

Now if you can fix the damn iPhone tethering problem i'll be happy

You mean HSPA+

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access

Johnr, But how many sites are live with HSPA+?

OR.... The real question is, because we know it affects it hugely...

Whats the customer ratio between VF and XT per HSPA site? If XT had 2 people and VF had 100 then that would indicative of the results we have.
