Today we rang Vodafone to tell them that fibre had been laid along our street and to please connect us up to it.

That done, we also asked for a better deal on our phone and internet — and they gave us one, a reduction of about $38 a month — into the deal they gave us free calls to all landlines in the country!

Now, if only the KCDC would behave the same way!  But you’ll have to vote for a new set of councilors who have a platform of reducing the wastage on and by the bureaucracy — you won’t get that if you vote for the existing lot.
