Wow...what a difference this is making. Didn't appreciate just how significant it would be having unlimited Broadband. The VDSL speed is excellent, the same or a little better than my son's fibre in Te Atatu North....Ooops...its meant to be Peninsular now. NETFLIX is giving us all the series and movies we are likely to need...will buy the odd DVD (eg Game of Thrones) perhaps from time to time. Can readily stream Fox News, CNBC (sometime) etc. Miss SKY sport....but can not see us going back there. Enough other sport to watch on Freeview or streaming, such as the Extreme Sailing series where a couple of Kiwi's are doing well. And its made us more social as well. We go out for dinner with a couple of bottles of red whenever AB's or other are playing. So my point....fibre not necessary to enable ditching Sky.
