Commission says Telecom met service obligations

Telecommunications Commissioner Douglas Webb today advised Communications Minister David Cunliffe that Telecom met all service quality measures in the 2003/2004 year.

In September, Mr Webb said there was inadequate information to assess whether Telecom had met the measure for dial up internet connection speeds on residential lines.

Since then, Telecom had provided audited information allowing the commission to conclude that requirement had been met.

Telecom must ensure 95 per cent of all existing residential lines meet a 14.4 kps (kilobytes per second) connect speed and 99 per cent meet 9.6 kps.
