Barometer of Fixed Internet Connections in New Zealand
H2 2020 – H1 2021
MyRepublic, the best fixed Internet performance during the last 2 semesters
nPerf Analysis
During the last 12 months, nPerf users conducted 32,238 connection tests on New Zealand’s five largest Internet Service Providers, distributed after filtering as follows:
TrustPower or WirelessNation, amongst others ISPs, haven’t been considered for this period, because of the low number of tests carried out on these operators.
The average download speed in New Zealand was 164 Mb/s during the last 2 semesters.
MyRepublic breaks into our study because it dominates the market, in terms of performance of fixed Internet connections, by leading on every indicator: first on download and upload average speeds, as well as in latency measures. Its commercial broadband plans clearly make the difference, when it comes to speed.
Its main rivals are the last year’s winner, 2degrees, and Vocus Group, through its main domestic broadband brands, Slingshot and Orcon, which are third.
The score gap gets bigger in comparison to 2019/2020: now the difference is around 16,000 nPoints between the first ranked operator and the second, and around 21,000 between the first and the third!
Spark and Vodafone are respectively ranked 4th and 5th, but are technically almost out of this performance race, although they gather almost 63% of the analysed tests. A great battle in perspective for the next period!
