#2 | Broadband but not DSL? What?
Telecom owns the lines and from what I've seen and heard they're the fastest (on average) nationwide. Just steer clear of XT ;) |

#3 | | all providers provide speeds as fast as your lines allow... unless you go for a plan that has a speed cap. so it all depends on what plans suit your needs ... best to check if where you live allows adsl2 connectivity , most isp websites will have a checker on there for you |

#4 | | This is not true. I have had Orcon here in the past and telecom is 2x faster |

#6 | | Telstra Clear Cable since you are in Christchurch. 25 Mbps down, 2 Mbps up is the fastest residential I think. |

#8 | | I have pretty much max speed you can get on normal ADSL with Orcon, normally just over 7mb/s. |

#9 | | If you are in Telstraclear Cable range, that's your fastest. |

#15 | | yeah, all providers are not as fast as you line will allow. We were with Orcon as well and our speeds went down to 700kbps (yep under 1MB) and changing to Xtra with everything the same it went up to 18Mbps instead. Orcon's network suxed for us. |

#21 | Well hello, broadband can be 100 times faster than dialup.
In fact on this connection, hubby reliably informs me it's almost 200 times faster. |
