Things I am interested in…

Epitiro, a UK-based international internet measurement company, has recently surveyed the broadband speed of the five foremost ISPs in New Zealand.  What doesn’t surprise me very much is that the state telco ISP (NZ Telecom’s Xtra) is not first second, or third.  It is interesting that British Telecom repeatedly comes number one in the same survey carried out in the UK.

Epitiro press release here.

NZ responses here and here.

I have not been able to yet find a response from Xtra…

Or actually, my internet connection:

The best of several attempts…

This ranks in the bottom 17% of worldwide internet speeds according to SpeedTest…

Woohoo!
