Hi-ho, As a general rule ISPs in NZ are much better than the bulk/cheap hosting firms overseas but my advice stands for NZ as well. If it's a *.nz domain you can go to the DNC and get it resolved, but if it's on another TLD and there's an issue. Good luck. Particularly as some of the well

On aside to what everyone here so far has said. what we (as in being vodafone customers) could do is ring them up requesting a new contract. when the sales rep starts talking internet we say we'd like $100 off the cost due to no email service being available and _how_ unavoidable annoying it is.

My 2c... Buy your own domain, pay for commercial email hosting with a provider you feel you can trust. Do not purchase the domain through the ISP who hosts the email, so when you decide you don't like the ISP you can go elsewhere and easily take your address(es) with you. Agree totally with
