(freitasm consider it) Done.
Ok, now how about everyone in this thread agrees to one simple thing, sticking to the facts and not say stuff like 'Once again... stupid, stupid, stupid.' in part because it just gets everyone frustrated, but mostly because it doesn't actually contribute to the logic of the discussion.
I will also keep my judgments of Telecom out of it, but I will say that the vast majority of the public, the government and international broadband experts hold Telecom (and in part the governments previous inaction, actually politicians are the first to blame themselves) to blame for our poor broadband, I recognize that most likely replies will come from people who I have never seen do anything but defend Telecom on every issue so it is best to keep views of Telecom out of this.
What this thread is here to discuss is the Sothern Cross Cable which is owned by the Sothern Cross Cable Network (which I note has a brand new website) and primarily the response I got to my claim that in effect Telecom doesn't pay a dime for International traffic it passes over the cable because it gets more (assets in whichever form) from the cable it 50% owns (but uses less than 50%) than it pays.
No one has offered a rebuttle as to how it doesn't infact get more back than it puts in.
As the reply I got to that was to riddicule (but not refute any of the things I stated or show how my reasoning is at fault) I conceeded that because you could argue that Telecom would make more money from the cable if it shut down it's internet offerings and stopped using the cable so maybe I can't count all of the money it makes from the cable, however because the cable is not used to capacity, at the very least I can solidly argue that Telecom get back 50% (in some form) of what they pay to the Sothern Cross Cable Network.
Also the SCC's (I believe CEO) is an ex-Telecom manager and as they own 50% I bet they pretty much get their way.
So without resorting to insults, sticking to just the facts and logic please explain why I am mistaken.
Insulting me is not as an effective way to get your opinion across as it may appear but thus far it seems the only reply you have.
Also I'd invite each person replying to state what if anything they blame Telecom for.
