We're moving house soon and I need to look at internet options but i'm scratching my head a little.

 

We'll be moving from a Wellington CBD apartment to a house in Southgate (above Island Bay) also in Wellington. We have no 4G coverage and Vodafone has confirmed that there is no cable service to my house (even though their online checker says there is grrr.) nor is VDSL an option. So we're stuck with plain ol dsl. 

 

Here's the rub, the DSL prices are on par, or more, with every other internet option I can find. 

 

 

 

What the he!!?

Lorenceo:

 

IMO it'd be a good idea for the Comcom to allow Chorus to charge more for copper service in areas where there's no UFB. But at the same time, also have to reduce it in areas where there is no UFB. Would help drive UFB uptake I imagine.

 

 

If you want to encourage UFB uptake, do the opposite - make copper MORE expensive than UFB in UFB areas, with a lower rate for copper users without a UFB option.
