Woosh bought Quick Silver

speedykiwi · 21st July 2006, 20:07

I wonder when Woosh will tell the world that they bought Quick Silver a few weeks back.

zeekiorage · 21st July 2006, 20:10

They are giving up on wireless are they?

Hotstuff · 21st July 2006, 20:10

what's with all these people signing up specially to post a message?

Where's your guts? Post as yourself.

speedykiwi · 21st July 2006, 20:14

I was shopping in Newmarket the other day and over heard 2 guys in suits talking about the Quick Silver buyout.....Something like 5 million

The Edge · 21st July 2006, 20:20

Er, proof? Link?

speedykiwi · 21st July 2006, 20:57

Sorry man no proof....maybe it is a lie but those guys sounded like they were telling the truth. Who knows...if it is true Woosh will anounce to the world soon.

Puchu · 21st July 2006, 21:46

guys i dunno if you heard but don brash is stepping down and john key is taking over as national leader NO PROOF but i'm sure of it trust me you'll see

Beccara · 21st July 2006, 21:54

Would make sense, Woosh have shitty wireless and QSI have shitty net

Bollocks. I used to work for QSI and I've heard no such thing.

The Edge · 21st July 2006, 23:24

I'm inclined to think this is all bs too. No link, not happening.

?>Superman · 21st July 2006, 23:38

Someone should definately get angry over this and use the flameface icon.

P-Money · 22nd July 2006, 00:32

Agreed.

The Edge · 22nd July 2006, 00:38

Will we ever hear from speedykiwi ever again?

crocos · 22nd July 2006, 00:41

Especially as "speedykiwi" signed up just to tell us that.

BURN!!!!

Limit · 22nd July 2006, 01:09

Maybe speedykiwi is from the future...

I hereby announce the union of Woosh & Quicksilver

WTF?

The Edge · 24th July 2006, 17:02

I have been disproved. I now believe.

What an odd purchase tho. I would have thought Orcon would have purchased them, they've been doing a lot of acquisitions lately.

What next? Will Woosh phase out one brand, or keep both running?

I wonder how many people would consider a change if WiMax did cover the country ?

shootme · 25th July 2006, 14:30

speedkiwi should become a professional evesdropper.

me waits for the "told you so" from him...

speedykiwi · 26th July 2006, 11:15

damn I should listen to everyones conversation from now on.....maybe I will get rich...To be honest I thought it was crap at first too....I mean Woosh and quicksilver..Oh well. WiMax bring it on. Woosh I have heard is going to get into WiMax but only after more larger companies around the world have fixed the bugs. Remember there are no wireless broadband companies anywhere in the world that are doing well so far.

You were doing well until you said that.
There are a large number of Wireless ISP's globally that would happily disagree with your assertation.

Stick to shopping in Newmarket and listening for market gossip.

Apologies for doubting your story.

Noodles · 19th April 2007, 17:09

fuck, woosh users used to get arse raped for excess usage charges, 6c per MB works out to be $61 per GB.

Rivertrog · 20th April 2007, 09:32

What the hell is this fascination with reducing to 'dialup' speed every isp in nz seems to have these days... If i wanted a dialup connection i'd buy a dialup connection..... at 1/10th the price!

The Edge · 20th April 2007, 10:50

Do Woosh still have crappy coverage? Is it still as slow as I remember?

If I had a dollar for every thread you decided to say that you don't give a fuck about it I'd be rich. If you don't care, don't look at the thread and don't post, it's pretty simple really.
