Over subscription?

In all of New Zealand?

Or has Telecom decided that 2Mb connections are actually specifying the maximum you could
get in New Zealand and have nothing to do with international connections.

I for one congratulate Telecom on selling us a 942.9kb plan disguised as a 2000kb connection
without anybody noticing...

And what do you do about it? Nothing. There's nothing you can do. Except maybe get lots
of PSTN lines and a modem bank....hmmm that 56k's looking pretty sexy right about now LOL!
