Here's a very interesting report from Telecom and Alcatel about ADSL in New Zealand... Kind of surprising to see it publicly available, to be honest.

Days like this I'm glad I'm on the end of a wireless link. And I don't have to put up with the ridiculous latency of ADSL as well.

I live more than 2k from an exchange, and used to dangle off the end of one of those sucky ADSL connections where Heather would wipe out the usefulness of my SSH connection whenever she downloaded something. Every time another customer goes onto that stuff it seems that it gets worse for everyone else in the same cable bundle.

Awesome. And that is not talking about the current plan changes, but about the ones that happened in April.
