Perhaps it's their Monopoly

Those of who live in New Zealand will most likely be familiar with the overly expensive communicative services provided in this country.

                                It's widely agreed that the reason that cell phone usage can cost so much is because there's only two main contenders in the market. Telecom and Vodafone have control over pretty well all the services provided in New Zealand. Even though 2 Degrees attempts to provide a reliable and cheep service they can only do so much as they have to rent the use of the equipment from Telecom, although through my net surfing I did find a website which said they were going to develop their own network, but I have to admit I have no idea how reliable this information really is.

So overall I don't have much of a problem with the services they provide, but I know many do. All three networks have their fans and those who really don't like them. I've only really doubt with Vodafone so couldn't give a well-informed, unbiased view on the other two. But from talking to several people about their preferred networks, 2 degrees seems to come out on top.

What I want to know is what people think of the networks in their area, no matter where you are. Would you say the tele-communicative services are adequate, overpriced... etc? Please give what you truly think, I'd really love to know.
