TelstraClear is a special case when it comes to the unbundled service due to the fact they have their own wires laid down in parts of Christchurch and Wellington. TelstraClear is *not*allowed* access to the telecom network within 100 or 200 meters (can't recall if 100 or 200) of their own network. That is why Homeplan and direct connection to TelstraClears phone/cable network are mutually exclusive. Yuri -- ** WARNING to mailing list repliers ** Gmail over-rides "Reply-To:" field.
