[News] Vodafone Edges Slightly Ahead in Epitiro Report

The latest independent research from Epitiro, a global provider of network performance intelligence, reveals that Vodafone still has on average the fastest ADSL broadband network speeds 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 July and September 2013 from its eleven test sites across the country.

The report found that the Vodafone network – which includes a large number of unbundled exchanges has the best average results:

• The fastest average download speed of 11.9 Mbps – 6% better than the average
• 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 134 milliseconds vs an average of 137 milliseconds
• The fastest average web page downloads at 1.86 Mbps

Vodafone was also awarded overall best performance in the last Epitiro report, from April to June 2013.
