personally, the most shocking part in the write up was the 40GB data limit. Isn't New Zealand supposed to a first world, developed country?

You'd be surprised how much of a limitation one has to suffer. I'm working in just 5 minutes away from center of decent sized city in the states (well, Bellevue, WA) and struggling to find a better replacement to Clear (that's dying this November) -- though, in case of network infrastructure, I don't know I'd be comfortable calling the US a first world. :-p

That aside, I've seen the same type of limitation in Australia, albeit was a while ago -- their hotel connection was paid and was metered (something like at 350MB), which I haven't seen elsewhere in countries I've visited. I wonder if it's something common in these regions.
