Yeah, I should clarify that 'reasonable' in that context meant 'reasonable in terms of what NZ ISPs charge'. Not 'reasonable in terms of common sense and the actual value of the service'. :) I think the NZ ISPs don't percieve a great demand for fibre to the home just yet, so pricing-wise it's still directed strictly at businesses. They may be right, but I suspect they will become less so over time. Jasper
