    I thought it goes without saying that broadband Internet (or any kind of Internet) would not work without electricity, but the above phrase popped
    up while I was visiting broadbandcompare.co.nz.

    Took me a moment to realize what it meant: it meant I also have to have an electricity account with that broadband supplier.

    Not worth the hassle. The electricity companies sub-let their internet
    services from a proper telecoms company, so you're better off getting
    your internet direct from the telecoms company in the first place. That
    way there's no continual passing of the buck every time there is an
    issue.
