It's a shame that.nz Telecom won't just put their play-fair hat on
and start trying to give us service to complete with the rest of the
world. 128kbit/sec just plain sucks. So too is it a shame that our
leading newspaper can't employ a technical editor with enough
competence to get simple math right, or acknowledge a mistake in an
article instead of just editing the electronic copy.
This article also demonstrates an ignorance on the authors behalf with
respect to proper notation for network units. Let alone the blatant
crap he is saying about Windows Update being a server as well.
How about Telecom/XTRA paying 5c per Meg? It's more like 5c per
Gigabyte, if not less.
Lets hope the good-willing public of New Zealand don't happen to
encounter this pile of drivel.
