[News] Findings show that Vodafone has the fastest ADSL broadband network

Independent research from Epitiro, a global provider of network performance intelligence, reveals today that Vodafone has the fastest ADSL broadband network in New Zealand.

The Fixed Line Broadband (ADSL) Performance Report analysed download and upload speeds and network latency amongst the country’s top four Internet Service Providers (ISPs) – Orcon, Slingshot, Telecom and Vodafone.

Epitiro collected data between April and June 2013.

The independent report found that the Vodafone network, which includes a large number of unbundled exchanges as well as fibre from Whangarei to Invercargill, has the best average results:

• The fastest average download speed of 10.9 Mbps, versus the average for all other ISPs at 10.04 Mbps
• The fastest average upload speed of 0.9 Mbps, versus an ISP average of 0.85 Mbps
• The lowest average network latency, critical for real-time applications like gaming, of 132 milliseconds vs an average of 138 milliseconds
• The fastest average web page downloads at 2.26 Mbps vs 2.02 Mbps

Vodafone Technology Director Sandra Pickering says the Epitiro report findings are another example of the strength of the Vodafone SuperNet™.

“We have been building and investing in our network for the past 15 years in New Zealand and this report recognises the experience that our broadband customers enjoy every day.

“Further, last week we upgraded Vodafone customers with 100 Mbps ultra fast broadband in Wellington, Christchurch and Kapiti – giving them access to speeds of up to 130 Mbps.

“The Vodafone SuperNet™ provides leadership in mobile and fixed communications.  It’s the only way you can get telephone, internet, mobile and TV from a single provider, and allows more of us Kiwis to stay connected wherever we are.”
