From New Zealand Connections
Here you will find the plans offered by Telecommunication company's presented in a table for easy comparison.
By selecting one of the arrow boxes located in each category in the tables top cells, the table will re-organize to that category, select the same arrow again and it will reverse the order of that column.
PSTN lines traditionally were the domain of only one provider, the New Zealand Post Office, which then privatised and became Telecom New Zealand. Due to competition, evolution of technology and various other factors, there has been an explosion of fixed line options as well as alternatives.
