Ever bought a top tier broadband plan only to feel like you're not getting the speed you paid for?

"You don’t want to buy a Ferrari-level of broadband and find yourself stuck in second gear,” says Telecommunications Commissioner, Tristan Gilbertson.

Today we’ve released our first “RealSpeed” report alongside our quarterly Measuring Broadband New Zealand results, which highlight the importance of an effective Wi-Fi set up.

"Wi-Fi performance can be responsible for much of the speed consumers are paying for being lost – so consider the location of your Wi-Fi router or investing in a new mesh system to unlock the potential of your plan."
