I'm a New Zealander too, but I've only ever heard, "Dub-dub-dub", said on student radio stations. I've been out of the country for the last five years, though.

As for needing to be a "techie" to understand it, I disagree. I still remember the first time I heard it said on the radio. I said, "Oh, so that's how people are saying it now."

I mean "dub-dub-dub" followed by "name.com" ? I'd be worried for anyone who couldn't work that out.

I personally advocate: "triple-double-U", but it hasn't caught on.

I also think we should change the pronunciation of "W" to "double-V". Then WWW could be "sextuple-V" !
