SAVE OUR LANDLINES: Help us maintain full access to our well-established and vital copper landline network.

Fibre gives a very poor service, with only 2 hours back up in a power cut and the need for boosters bouncing Wi Fi round the home

Particularly inn rural and remote areas, this is the only system that opperates when there is a power outage. There are numerous places in NZ that do NOT have any cell phone coverage.

I’m 79, not in good health, no internet,

So many people rely on their landline and deserve to have this facility!

Land lines are essential for the elderly and the increasing number of people affected by electro magnetic pollution

It is so important to keep this to help with elderly alarm call systems

We are all being exposed in different degrees to digital damage. It is integral that we keep our landlines, before we lose everything to this, what is becoming a very robotic world.

Very true... We need Holistic Action based on joined-up thinking.

Many things in the past have been deemed ‘safe’ and after ‘rollout’ to the planet, the public and all creatures, with horrific consequence have had to be changed back or taken away urgently, due to adverse effects to health, or our planet, we only have one to look after, and all the life on it, historically this has happened more than once in the past, should we not learn from this, instead of disregarding warning signs from the beginning, and literally running with fire to burn all life from our people and lands? sadly, but with hope, we have enough intelligence, and world communication should we not take our roll as custodians seriously and look after our planet, and all life on it, before we destroy it irreparably more than the powers that be have done already? At the end of the day we have drilled our holes, made our poisons, blown up our planet strewn our plastic, rubbish, polluted waters,committed genocide on people animals plants insects the whole kaboodle, how long do we really think our mother planet will put up with this, its just another nail in our own coffins, and big corporate companies with their shareholders, there will be know one left to mourn you as all the children will be dead and money wont keep you warm or fed, our planet is angry and she will win with or without us. Think about the future we are creating for our young. Those ‘in power’ help us stop killing us. Again with sadness and hope Lucy

Good luck!

I do not own a mobile phone for health reasons and to set an example to my children.

I am upset and perturbed at the insidious coercion pushing everyone towards mobile wireless.

Not all of the elderly understand digital technologies also not everyone has broadband and without it you cannot have a digital landline also a copper line does not fail in a power cut a digital one does

We need to keep an alternative to digital

Older people cannot cope with so many changes that mainly will effect them

My mobile does not always have a good signal.so l need my land line.also hearing problems.

I don't want it on WiFi if that goes down you can't call emergency

These should be retained.

Save our land lines

YES! We need our landlines. I need to be able to receive emergency calls on the home line
