Broadband performance 

Broadband performance can be affected by many factors and the broadband speeds you experience could be different. 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. For wireless connections, 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.

See Measuring Broadband NZ for independent information on broadband performance across different providers, plans and technologies.
