Ironically, I was saying this exact thing to a friend last night (I was all
excited b'cos I just got my ADSL yesterday. The download speed SUCKS due to
bad wiring in my house, but we should be able to get that sorted out. :-)

Lets say I transfer a file from one of the other people on the trial. That
means ALL the traffic goes thru IPNet. Telecom owns IPNet. Cost to Telecom?
Virtually nothing, I would guess. Cost to us? $0.35 per meg.

I can't wait for ADSL to be opened up to a bit of competition!

Still, I'm not complaining too loud. $140/month for ADSL is still MUCH less
than the ISP's around NZ charge for even a leased dial-up link @ 33.6k.
