You know, the sort of relationship where ratepayers will pay through the nose for the next quarter century or so buying 100km of fibre. <br /><br />Anyway the fibre is in the ground and the only people that can tap into it are people immediately adjacent to its route up the main road and a few side roads, the likes of Top Grass Road alongside the Ruahines. If like me you live distant from that fibre, even one road over or away from an exchange, 3G wireless is the only option. Satellite is too expensive and not portable. VF has the best range in the area, Telecom is useless in this region with it's poor coverage and speeds.<br /><br />I do not think Inspire have gone for a wireless facility on this side of the hill because of the incestuous relationship with the council where it is creaming it from the ratepayers and those connected.PM of NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02095175012980278919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597673223178271616.post-34207260663804144982010-09-09T09:42:12.784+12:002010-09-09T09:42:12.784+12:00Has Inspire Net moved over that side of the hills ...Has Inspire Net moved over that side of the hills yet.<br />They had an excellent wireless package to areas such as Apiti and Tokomaru.
