Over the last 5 months NZ has seen and learned more about Broadband, who's in it and how it works than any other country I believe.

You know it's reached far and wide when the taxi drivers talk to you abou it

A while ago Telecom let the country know they were trialling ADSL2+, and to expect service later this year. After the events of May that was quietly put back, and the country has dropped it in search of full speed ADSL.

ADSL2+ has been around a while now, and has been commercially deployed in many places. It's not complete voodoo to deploy compared to a few years ago.

So where has this gone? Are Telecom preparing a whacking great upgrade which they will spring on the country, as Telstra did when they announced HSDPA to 98% of where Australians are?

What does the group think?
