Internet - Broadband
How quick is the internet in NZ. Read some crackers about it. We are going over this month (yeh) and this will be the most effective way of keeping in touch with family back home. Any info would be most grateful.

Re: Internet - Broadband
We are on broadband with iGrin. I think there is hardly anyone else uses our exchange as it is way quicker than we had in Glasgow! - I use an iSight to talk to family a couple of times a week and have only had a glich once in over a year. We think it's excellent. We are also on a plan that has unlimited downloads! They have changed this now and have tried to get us to change to a plan that they say will suit us better with a limit that is about $5 cheaper! heehee we keep saying no thanks!

There have been some growing pains of late as Telecom offered an "Unlimited" usage plan that sucked an awful lot of common bandwidth at exchanges, and some non-Telecom ISPs like ihug have been having infrastructure problems (which now appear to be fixed), but you get these problems anywhere.

I'm with orcon and get 6Mbs down, 600k up and up to 5GB per month for $50. Not a bad deal really.
