Actor Stephen Fry has implored New Zealanders to demand better broadband, describing the service as "pathetic".
Mr Fry took to Twitter this morning saying the broadband here is "probably the worst" he has ever encountered after trying to upload a charity video for a dinner function.
"Rise up, Kiwis and demand better? You wouldn't allow crap roads with pot holes and single file. [That's] what you've got [Broadband wise]..." he wrote.
The English actor is in Wellington for the filming of the Peter Jackson film The Hobbit.
"I know, it's feeble to moan. I'm on set now. It's 6:15 and the wifi here is good. But I have So many videos and sound files to upload."
