Hi Folks,
I an considering relocating out of CHCH city into the rural area and have a need for a relatively good broadband connection - at least good enough to use get HD on a video on demand application without constant stuttering and to be able to make HD Skype calls  (not having an poor ping when gaming would be good but not a key requirement).

I'm also not' really interested in mobile solutions (I use this when out and about, but want fixed internet at home).

I've tried looking on a couple of Telco websites, but I get either - 'yes, you might be able to get broadband' and 'we don't know where that address is' type answers.

What I would really like to be able to find out is which of the smaller towns in the Canterbury region have fibre to the local exchange and how far a property might be away from the appropriate connection point (and where these are) to give an ok connection.

Regards.
