| 1421254 | 2016-05-31 08:26:00 | Hey everyone I'm currently doing a survey on "ISP". I would like to find out for what ISP you have and how much out of 10 would you rate it . If you would like to , show download and upload speed . Thanks |

| 1421255 | 2016-05-31 21:27:00 | Well lets., see there are really only 3 main providers left these days, with Xnet, Orcon etc all being bought by one of the 3. Spark Vodafone Slingshot. |

| 1421256 | 2016-05-31 22:57:00 | Download and upload speed is really irrelevant unless you're on fibre or cable - as DSL speeds decrease the further you are from the exchange or a cabinet . What would be more meaningful would be to compare line speeds in the modem with actual speedtests, and see what the difference is, that could give you a bit of an idea which providers suffer more from congestion during peak times, or are throttling . I'm with Bigpipe, find them awesome to deal with, I would rate them 9 . 5/10 . 10Mbps down and 1Mbps up, but that is because we're only able to get ADSL where we are, so it's a bid hard to compare that to someone who can get fibre . |

He's right, and thankfully we have the Commerce Commission who pay TrueNet to do this for us: . nz/story/2016/04/march-2016-urban-broadband-report" target="_blank">truenet . nz And yes, Xnet are now a part of Vodafone, and Slingshot are technically M2Group, along with Callplus / Vocus etc |

| 1421260 | 2016-07-03 01:35:00 | There's a lot of smaller providers that don't often get a mention due to the lack of marketing power but that get really good customer reviews. Flip has recently won a whole bunch of awards for good customers service. The report you doing sounds really interesting, would love to have a look at it once it's complete. | myCompare (17471) | ||

| 1421262 | 2016-07-03 04:29:00 | Have been with Vodafone for a while. Havent had too many probs with them, since they brought Telstraclear (my previous ISP). Soon find out how good their fibre is, when I get it it tomorrow. It's been laid and all that, all they have to do is put the box whatever it is on the house and activate it tomorrow |

| 1421263 | 2016-07-03 05:44:00 | I'm with Actrix, for quite a while now, and they are excellent. On the rare occasions I've called them, the call is answered after 3 or 4 rings and you speak to a real person who knows what they are talking about. My only minor gripe atm is that their spam filter seems to be somewhat ineffective as I'm getting inundated. | Tony (4941) | ||
