Boy Nz certantly has its good points, but there are somthings due to our small population that we suffer for !!!

Hows this for a TV,Phone,Internet deal

We have been ripped off for years by telecom and sky with thier rates, you just dont realize how bad it is till you travel.

nzs internet is crap compared to other westerns countries.

America has a big problem with obesity, as a result of the cheap food etc .

When i was in LA, i was was suprised how big the food portions where.

Almost couldnt finish it.

After visiting several countries, still think NZ is the best to live tho.Wish my wife would think that way as well :cry:

yeah especially here with broadband though I have it, and now I coudlnt go back it is judt too expensive by far, but then telecom are only making 200 million or so profit so every year

I guess things are tight!

Prices in the US seem cheap as the dollar is nice high against the US dollar. Try filling one of those cars up and things seem to even out.

Anyone wonder why when the US dollar is nice and high the supplement prices stay the same....just an observation.

[brock_solid]

Won't the prices of everything skyrocket now after the hurricane

I saw on the tv them complaining about their fuel prices which we like half us much as what we pay here

They were like all sad about it saying they won't be able to run their cars cause the price is so high, shut the f*ck up.

New Zealand has a LONG LONG way to go in regards to technology.

Other countries have T1 internet access, think about 10 times the speed of broadband we have here at no limit for about the half price.

PXT phones, theyve been the norm in japan for the last 5 years, compared to 2 years here. 3G and Video Messaging is touted as space age tech here, its been around about 4 years ago in other countries.

It costs less to txt message and talk on your mobile country in most underdeveloped countries than here.

Companies need to get their heads outta their asses and wake up and realize we have to move on at practical prices for good technology.

Just my opinion.

Agree 100%

In Hong kong 100 free minutes cellphone free minutes means just that any time of day and at half the price we pay here for off peak.

We are becoming more and more 2nd world if there was such a thing

[westie]

I think its more how much it costs to deliver the technology thats the problem.Population is the hurdle.

NZ usually gets alot of new things first as a trial i believe.

In the uk we have only just gone electronic tickets for buses an trains.

The banking system is way behind as well.
