Alden Bates' Weblog

Feigning normality since 1973

You know you're in New Zealand when...

Filed in: Internet.

I noticed recently that tetrap.com has been upgraded to the current Basic account limits of 3GB of disk space and 125GB of bandwidth per month. Kudos to HostForWeb! However that lead me to notice something else:

At home, I pay $NZ40 a month for 10GB a month bandwidth (shared between me and 3 other people) while I'm also paying $US10 a month for a site which has 125GB of bandwidth a month.

The main reason for this, of course, is because all ADSL here is provided by Telecom, giving them a monopoly which the government has completely failed to break.

I wonder if HostForWeb would mind if I camped out in the server room...

"I wonder if HostForWeb would mind if I camped out in the server room..." That is soo funny Alden.

Most people would wonder why you would want to do such a thing.. But I'm laughing because there were many times (actually, I should say there are many times) I would love to to camp out at our server hosts data center..
