Factors That Impact Speed 

Individual customers will experience different speeds at different times – sometimes higher and sometimes lower. Factors such as the performance of your modem, location of the server you’re connected to, the performance of your device and your in-home Wi-Fi setup can impact the speeds experienced.  

If your plan uses a wireless connection, then factors such as the distance you are from a cell tower, the network capability and the overall use of that cell tower by other consumers can impact the speed experienced. 

Plan Speeds  

Reported average speeds for the below plans included in the New Zealand Commerce Commission's Measuring Broadband (MBNZ) report. 

• Fibre300 and FibreMax - Spark NZ National Peak Time Average Speed (yes, we piggyback on Spark’s awesome broadband technology and save you money). You may experience a higher or lower speed than this.
• Fixed Wireless (4G) - National peak time average speed. You may experience a higher or lower speed than this.

For Video streaming, wireless technology works well if you are streaming HD videos and don’t have several other devices also using your broadband. If you are wanting to stream video content in 4K Ultra HD, then our fibre plans are better suited. Also, some streaming content services, such as live sports services and live TV may require greater broadband performance than others. Check with the service to understand their requirements.

For gaming, wireless technology will work well for games that don’t require fast reactions, like card games or Angry Birds (we refer to this as “basic gaming”). For fast-paced games, such as sports games or first-person shooter games, our fibre plans will be better suited.

Video conferencing on wireless technology works best when there are a smaller number of participants and you aren’t ‘multitasking’ on your computer or other devices at the same time. If you are likely to have several participants or there will be other devices in your home using your connection at the same time, we recommend our fibre plans to help reduce lag and buffering.
