Any chance or way we can get Fergus back in business and in Upper Hutt?? Yes, I know why he was forced to close and that was not his fault. He provided a goodand valued service. I miss him very much. Come back Fergus.
Spark has announced that, because it costs so much to maintain their outdated copper wire network, they're raising prices for those using it.

But they don't provide anything else to Wainuiomata. So it's not as though we're *choosing* to use the network - which our parents and grandparents paid to have built in the old NZPO days, but which they haven't spent any of their profit on maintaining since they bought it.
We're being told we must pay more for less. It's like walking into McDonalds and being told "we haven't maintained our ovens, so all we can offer is salad. But you'll need to pay $5 more for the salad so we can call an electrician".
I've already told them no. I made the above point to them and got "we understand your frustration, thanks for letting is know" 🙄
There are competitors offering ADSL & VDSL (& I'm aware of one who'll give you a choice of new Samsung appliances if you switch, which will more than compensate for any early termination / new install costs).
So I'm curious. Who intends to #paySparkmoreforless and who has had enough?
The Curtain Bank will be taking orders between 17th - 28th September 12-2pm at the Rimutaka Baptist Church.

He/she has been there for two weeks now and maybe unable to fly. He does look a little straggly/weather beaten He most certainly would like food supplied and here are three greenies he would very likely enjoy - shredded cabbage, lettuce and leaves of the cauliflower. DO NOT GIVE THE GOOSE BREAD. He might like shredded carrot and grapes sliced in half. Apparently he talks to my wife - but who wouldn't.
Most Kiwis would associate a visiting Sri Lankan sports team with cricket – but the boys from Tri…
