Cell phones are such a rip-off here! Back home I paid US$50 a month for like 1500 minutes - here you get only 120 minutes for NZ$60 (like 45USD)! Un-frickin'-believable! If you go over your minutes the cost is outrageous so you might be better off doing prepay but those rates are even more horrendous. I still haven't got one 'cause I just can't bring myself to spending that much for so little! The cheapest phone you can buy is $100 plus another $35 for the sim card. AND cell phones aren't considered local calls so I can't even use my flat phone to call a mobile...you have to get a calling card! Again - un-frickin'-believable!
My internet access pretty much sucks too. I have ethernet connection in my office which can be slow as hell during a good chunk of the day depending on usage. I usually just don't bother from noon-3 because it can get so damn annoying. Wireless access is limited to the main library and science library...
Lastly...the tv networks don't let you watch their shows online except from within the US. What the hell!?! So that means there's no Gray's or NCIS for me until I get a tv!
