nope he pays and you pay, total rip off for local stuff.
Paradise seems to be keen to charge a minimal amount for local only stuff
plus they are good for games, might be an option in the future, if i could
change from xtra right now to paradise I would, i am not impressed with
extra one little bit, their web site is a mess.
Ihug would seem to be coming on board as well so it may get interesting in
the next few months.

Soon once the adsl is launched then you could have an account with xtra,
ihug and paradise (plus others i believe), of course telecom gets the $0.35
a meg who ever you deal with at the moment. But if this little wrinkle is
ironed out then you could move around IPSs at will taking the best deal in
town.

Its not sorted in detail yet, there would seem to be deals like 1 or 3 gig a
month plus volume from there possible in the future, such stuff is still
being discussed, or they wont tell as yet whats planned.
