Broadband Pricing: A Study - Part 1

With Local Loop unbundling announced 4-May-06 it will be interesting to see how prices change over the next few months. We have been told over the years by ISP's that their pricing is controlled by Telecom. Now that they have access to the LL, lets see how much things change.

The original idea and data was compiled by Mike O'Leary and was suggested on the NZ Dot Net user group. Thanks Mike.
