Just saw this article: http://dtsanz.com/blog/rumour-mill-new-zealand-based-isp-fail/

 

Article repeated here : https://itbrief.co.nz/story/rumour-mill-new-zealand-based-isp-about-fail/

 

Hope it is just a rumour - something like this would cause a lot of pain - to employees and consumers.

Got to say I had never actually heard of DTS until I saw this - maybe they are trying to deflect rumours. Though they used the words 'fairly sizeable ISP' - wonder what that is exactly.

 

 

 

PS Have no idea why my post has done that odd formatting.

I hope this is a stupid rumor, one comment mentioned the ISP that I am with, they have been very good service and kiwi call centre too, none of this overseas based rubbish.

Bound to happen, actually the sector has been slowly rationalising over the last few years. There is bound to be some casualties. I feel that NZ has been in a over supply of ISP's, in such a small market over dilution of profits can stagnate development and innovation.




Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

They have been around for ages, but they fly under the radar for most people because they don't do residential.
