Ultra-shoddy broadband: exposed cables worry residents
Listening to ZB this morning on the way to work, looks like Chorus got ripped thro' Hosking and also lot of disgruntled people on talk back...
Disc: Non-holder, just an observation.
Digruntled people on talkback, who would have thought :) I think it is a given that big companies, especially utilities and utilities in monopoly positions, with many customers are going to have some unhappy customers. However that is not to say that they could always improve...

Holy cow, this mammoth drop over the past three days takes me back a year or two :)
Profit flat, large drop in copper connections, departing CEO has a moan about the regulated copper price.
The demand for fibre is stretching Chorus in both manpower and process.

Unfortunately the higher copper price (higher than many wanted) gives more room and incentive for the likes of Spark to offer Wireless Broadband.
Yes, some incentive but 4g wireless isnt a threat to fibre. Chorus can hardly keep with fibre demand at the moment.
Chorus share price increased 85% over the last year. If that momentum was to be maintained the Board needed to deliver more than a 5% increase in the dividned. Still, a nice earner until 2020 at least.
Uh-oh! Some toy throwing down in the ducting;

PS. Pretty impressed with Skinny(part of Spark) 4G wireless internet when I needed a temporary connection.
