Just love this article as only 20km from Christchurch and my Broardband goes in and out most days. Sometimes it even goes down to snails pace.  We do not have cell phone reception here - can't even get 1 band of it. So to read an article like this gladdens  my my heart to read a well known person complaining as well.  They might take notice of him - because they certainly don't take notice of me when I complain.
