I suspect Telecom secretly hates anyone who lives in town too - it's only the money that they like.
Have emailed them pointing out their obligations - with a cut and paste out of their own website extolling the virtues of their wonderful fast internet for country people, which nearly everyone can get!
They have advised me that I am not apparently nearly everyone and they are sorry about that but I am a special case.
Funny, I was a special case in Nelson too. In fact we were so special up our valley 10 minutes out of Nelson that people couldn't even get a phone line for six months because despite being paid by the subdivider to provide a phone line to every LSB Telecom hadn't provided sufficient lines.
And fast internet in Nelson? In ya dreams...
I HATE monopolies

I HATE TELECOM!
opps missed an o
I wouldn't be surprised if nearly everyone who lives rurally is actually not part of the 'nearly everyone' who can get fast internet.
Not just Telecom. I hate the post/courier thing. We are closer to the centre of our town than some streets which are not considered rural, but, depending on the courier driver you get, they will not deliver the package, or they'll drop it at the local shop (2 ks from the house), and not tell you they did it. We get so many courier boxes etc with my husband's job, that we have managed to tame the couriers, and for the most part, they deliver to the door with a cheery smile, and no extra charges.
BUT recently found I could get the wine delivered home, which meant I didn't have to lug a big box home with me on the train. First couple of deliveries, fine. Then, wine didn't turn up... will take 3 days to get to you as you are rural, and charge you an extra $2.50 delivery. Has only happened twice so far, but I am sure it depends on who is driving.
