[wellylug] RE: Slightly OT: Cable alternatives

[Chris Hodgetts]

What I was trying to say, in my own sick little way.. was ...

I guess if you went UBS then be prepared to be shafted by both Telecom
and Orcon (Who yes is the best option)... but from what I understand,
once it's in, from what my friend has said, apart from the radius server
outage the other night, you wont need to call them again and things
appear to "just work"...


Wireless is still expensive, unless you wanna do something koo like
setting up a radio link to where Telstra does come to, and then piping
it into your neighbourhood, and onselling the connection to your
neighbours, wirelesses...

a friend from Helix in Auckland, got a connection from the CBD to out by
the Unitech in Waterview..which is a driving distance of 6km..

So it's possible :)
