Enable Networks will be providing FTTH to Christchurch.


Cant wait !!!!!

Just a run down:

-Telecom & Chorus will be separated.
-FTTH will begin to be rolled out to much of NZ starting in the next few months.
-Schools , public buildings & hospitals will receive fibre first.
-Wholesale packs of 30mbps will be under $40 per month. Packages of 100mbps will be around $60 per month.

thats awesome aussie its going to get new net going to be 300xfaster my area not getting it till like 2013-2017 thats all we have been told and maybe it will start in 2012.(my local council are full of old people who hate fucking change and do a shit house job) there trying to say no atm to the government because they think our internet cables are perfectly fine even tho my internet runs at 1.1mbps. if it was 30mbps that would be what my internet provided said it would run at.

Problem is that Telecome will probably charge for Data caps. If the Data caps were increased to somewhere in the 100GB range. I will be happy lol

Vodaphone was talking to us about some plan where we would get sorta 100-150mb/s in the near future, some crap like that, nothing so far but let downs because they promised us 20-30mb/s when we switched, Telecom will soon dominate Vodaphone i reckon

Golden what town do you live in?
