How fast is your internet connection?

Speedtest.net will tell us which Kiwi ISPs are internet rocketships, and which ones are failing.

Thanks to the thousands of broadband users who took the time to take the test - we're now in the process of compiling the results of the great nzherald.co.nz internet speed survey - watch Technology for the results.

There's been a lot of talk about download speed over 'broadband' in New Zealand - and most of it has been less than complimentary.

Even users in the same areas, with the same plans and similar set-ups notice massive disparities in their connection speed.

Not a day goes by when the nzherald.co.nz inbox hasn't got mail from angry internet subscribers who are paying for one thing and getting a whole lot less.

Strangely, there's never been an email from a happy internet customer boasting about a lightning fast connection.

In the interests of semi-scientific research, we'd like to know how fast your broadband connection is.

Take the test at Speedtest.net and let us see just how quick your connection is.

On the Speedtest homepage, click the Auckland server and then make note of your upload and download speeds in kb/s; the ISP that your connection is through; and which plan you're on.

Then click on the link at the top of this page and tell us all about it.
