EnzoYug: But wait for how long? We'll be paying hand over fist to a bloated old dinosaur company that has been bashing us for ages. Fibre-to-the-door isn't right around the corner.
Perhaps I'm wrong but I haven't seen teams of trucks ripping up the streets laying fibre like it's going out of style. Have you? We will be waiting for a good time yet.
Every month that Telecom make more $ than their competitors is another month they cement the prices higher. Prices have gone up, and will keep going up - not down - for broadband for a while yet.
The bit that hacks me off about this whole scam is that Telecom/Chorus knew that cabinetising LLU customers would result in massive service degradation (unless their engineers are as thick as two planks, anyway), then went ahead and did it anyway. I wonder why - trying to damage customer perception of other providers so they'll switch to Telecom perhaps?
I should also add, that when a customer is unbundled, Telecom should leave the line the heck alone. It should NOT be connected to a cabinet without the express permission of the freaking customers - Telecom is deliberately harming other networks' customers by cabinetising LLU lines.
Ben: Perhaps a Kiwishare-esque approach with ISPs required to provide at least an agreed-cost "base" plan to anyone who has access to public lines?

freitasm:
And all ISPs will then lobby to get the main centre areas, and battle to make sure Telecom is the only only who should provide for rural areas and other non-profit areas? Then they will complain when the Kiwishare portion of the bill is sent their way?
Regs:Kyanar:
Really, what needs to happen is for everyone else to get the same bill Telecom gets for the cabinet - to hell with the "return on investment".
that arguement is fine when the investor is the government or a SOE, not for a private company.Kyanar: Pity it's a National government, since you'll never see National do anything to offend Big Business.
take a look at who sold/privatised telecom in the first place.... it wasnt the national government!

But unbundled lines can be switched back to the exchange if requested as the copper is left in the ground when cabinetised.
