Last week we did the Torah walk. You go south of Martinborough and head out to the coast. Fairly wild and wooly sort of terrain with not a lot of population. And they have fibre!!  Look up Tuturimuri on your google map - there's a country school there, but it's another 20km or so out to the coast where there a few farms and holiday houses.

The fibre is strung on its own poles - some of it is underground. I gather it was put in by Telecom (Downer's did the install). It goes all the way to the coast , along the beach and back up the next river valley. Something like 20-30 km of it to service maybe 50 widely spread farms and holiday houses. 

WTF? Whatever it was that got them fibre I want some. Do I need a couple of sheep on the back lawn?

I was told by a user that he pays $95/month for Net and phone and it's at the sort of blinding speed you expect from fibre.

Anyone know anything?
