just goes to show sky cant be trusted in regards to wholesaling of content to telcos.
wonder if the comcom remembers how they were treated, maybe a law change is needed to give comcom more powers of enforcement?
one step ahead of the herd

Death cross formation after today's drop, the first since April 2015, no worries though as 2017 guidance was confirmed at todays AGM so divvies will keep rolling in at around the 7% net mark. Disc-Hold a lot but not as cheap as today's closing price.

Any half-reasonable explanation why this is going down faster than the Titanic? Or why it is so volatile at this time?

Large US investor base in the stock, defensive divvy payers currently out of flavour apparently.

Thanks,couta1, So far I owe DT big time. I was sitting on an American sit watching his progress (about 30 minutes ahead of NZtv) and managed to drop mine at a good price and then buy them back cheaply at days end when the end of the world was being predicted. Sold again at a very high price next morning and watched them dive again and bought back 15cps cheaper but I was premature and could have done a lot better. No sooner posted y question than they are off up again.

Bit of disaster for Spark today with significant outages lasting 8 hours or so. Will be interesting to see if it leads to any churn in business.

Yes, bloody frustrating as well, that some 'hot standby' (redundant server) doesn't fire up when the production systems fails and hello, a whole day of no service while they deal with a large "backlog" of reconnecting devices re-authenticating to the service. For a miserable $19 a month pre-paid cellphone, one could argue there's not much to moan about, but multiply that over a family of connected teens and all their devices, then hello(!) they're all immediately looking to switch to the competitors. There's no loyalty anymore, it's plain and simple, provide continuous uninterrupted service or face the stampede. Shifting suppliers is easy, way easy. Spark dropped the ball on this one.

These 'hiccups' often seem to happen at weekends or bank holidays - our broadband often used to deteriorate gradually over a weekend - I presumed it was because those who knew how to keep the systems up to speed were away on their jollies.

Or it could have been due to capacity issues and more people using it on holidays?
