Homer discovers Bart brought Telecom NZ SharesAbout bloody time.
I actually lived to see the day the government decided to unbundle Telecom's monopoly.
After a last gasp effort from Telecom to try and win over the New Zealand population with the claim of lower broadband prices, Telecom fails dismally, because their advertising was simply untrue.
If you want cheaper broadband, almost any other Internet Service Provider (ISP) can provide it for you: at least in New Zealand.
And depending on what ISP you choose, you can get a faster service, and no upload data cap for a similar price.
The interesting thing is that almost every ISP relies on Telecom to supply their broadband. This only goes to show Telecom's contempt of their customers, who are offered what increasing looks like a second class service.
With a recent reduction in Xtra services and Telecom's ongoing fiscal focus, charging certain services already offered by others for free, I suspect much darker days for Xtra and its owners yet to come.
Telecom adverts say "There's never been a better time to get broadband". In the coming months that statement may actually come to mean something significant. Perhaps even for their own customers.
As Homer would say....IN YOUR FACE TELECOM!
