I thought I should start a new topic to highlight what I have found out, sorry if its old news but I think it’s great news for me.
You can have the benefits of Genius without getting Genius i.e. unlimited internet and free national calling for $99.00
After starting the topic www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=82&topicid=113383 where I explained the issues I had with the Genius connection for voice. I discussed my situation with the Orcon accounts team.
To cut a long story short as my exchange has been unbundled LLU I can now run a standard Modem / Router with an Analogue phone the VOIP will then be carried out at the exchange this I a better solution if you have VOIP issues with Genius.
