I typed that in by mistake trying to open up the phpmyadmin for my website hosted with orcon, but its not that at all, its a copy of Orcons website from many years ago, back when jetstream and jetstart were around and telecom controlled the market. Google doesnt even know its there!

they have an iphone link on there dialup page, i clicked on it thinking "wat the hell, they were up on the game in 2003".. hmm me thinks i dont want that iphone in my pocket! haha

Very cool none the less! We should link people to that page when they start complaining about prices of broadband.. Jetstream 600 - $69.00 + $30 Orcon charge +.20c per mb after 600mb.. ouch
We have come a long way in 6 years.. its things like this that puts it all into perspective

I come across old orcon sites quite often - although none as old as that.
They own a number of domains
prohost.co.nz i just checked which i thought was an old one but they have now redirected it to the current site.
