Hi

New to the country - had expected first-world conditions re internet access. Alas, Paradise Valley, Rotorua reminds of dark, unconnected Africa - and only 4.5 km from town as the crow flies. There are about 40-50 households affected, some including businesses and home schooling setups.

My question:  Is it worthwhile getting together as a community and "demanding" connection?  Has any other community in NZ been successful in getting connected through petitioning the local MP, picketing, filling in online expressions of interest, or otherwise?

Sticking Paradise Valley Road in to the Chorus and Vodafone public web sites it looks like there are some parts that have no xDSL, no RBI xDSL and no planned wireless RBI.
