Good Evening all,

I'm considering moving from our Internet access and toll calls from Xtra and
Telecom respectively to WorldxChange and would appreciate any feed back on this
company.

Any experiences, good or bad, would be most welcome.

Thank You

Good internet, passable pricing by NZ standards, and they have a usenet

I have been with them for several years and have yet to find any reason to
complain about any aspect.

server.
