SPARK COPPER PHONE LINES
www.stuff.co.nz...
Like the people in this article i was told last year that i had to change to wireless as copper lines were being phased out and i would have no phone or internet if i didnt change. I also know of some elderly people that have been told the same information. Just curious to see how many others are out there who have been told the same, It seems this is not the case....The incident comes as the Commerce Commission assesses a complaint that Spark may have breached the Fair Trading Act by encouraging copper home phone customers to switch to wireless broadband through a practice known as "inertia selling" – an allegation that Spark has denied.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
