Revealed: Where broadband is best in NZ

The Communications Minister said: "Access to fast speed internet is a critical enabler for the economy."

The best spots to access ultra-fast broadband in New Zealand have been revealed in a map released by Government this afternoon.

Communications Minister Amy Adams said the broadband map had been developed to help New Zealanders source the best broadband options available to them.

The website allowed users to pinpoint their home or workplace, and get information on broadband or wireless internet availability and maximum speeds.

It also told consumers when they could expect ultra-fast broadband or rural broadband coverage in their neighbourhood.

In a statement, Ms Adams said: "Access to fast speed internet is a critical enabler for the economy. People are now looking to have access to information anywhere, anyhow, anytime."

"Our UFB and RBI programmes are charging ahead and this map gives New Zealanders a one-stop shop where they can go to find out what services are available to them at their address and how they can connect."

The map was developed by the New Zealand Registry Service, a subsidiary of Internet NZ.
