That pretty much sums up my hate for the internet here in New Zealand. We have a wireless internet connection with our ISP directly, and marketed 1mbit up/down.

Well, they recently have a policy (one month ago, we have been using the company for about a year!!!) that they are capping us to have 100g a month for a flat of 4 people, even though they advertised us a "true unlimited wireless broadband". Really annoying me as our whole flat pretty much clocked about 111gb.

And guess what, their speeds are not what they lived up to be, I get a direct downloads off international websites for about 110kb/s MAX.


How is your internet connection in your area? Is it cheaper and faster without any bandwidth limitations? It seems in terms of technology, the grass is greener when you go out of New Zealand...

Except if you head over to Australia, it's just as bad here.

Unless Gillard is spewing bullshit, the national broadband network is supposed to be ultra-fast.

I'm moving over to Boston. Got a place to crash for me? I really want some of the internet speeds advertised in USA.

The internet is publicly accessible if you're on campus, for the most part... :P
