When my Australian bosscame herr to work in NZ for a week she was weeping with frustration at the slow speed she was having to deal with.
Another made up anecdote to support your bullshit claim,what a shock.
Meanwhile in the real world:
New Zealandâs internet is about to leave us in the dust

It might be time to move to New Zealand.

THE rivalry between Australia and New Zealand can be pretty fierce at times, and the Kiwis are about to get another one over us.
Theyâve walloped us in the rugby for the 14th consecutive year, theyâve called us dicks and labelled us their âdodgy racist neighbourâ and now theyâre preparing to blow our internet out of the water.
The Australian taxpayer funded company tasked with the monumental job of building our national broadband network is fond of saying that the final product will make us a world leader in broadband capability, but the Kiwis might have something to say about that.
On Friday last week New Zealand fixed-line telco company Chorus announced it will extend its 1Gbps fibre broadband service across the entirety of its Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) footprint beginning in October.
Chorus already has more than 4000 fibre connections in Dunedin capable of such speeds but will now offer the âmaximum speed the network electronics allows todayâ to customers across the country, the company said.
Chorus CEO Mark Ratcliffe said by âchampioning gigabit residential and business servicesâ New Zealand will be âcatapulted up the league tables of broadband speed rankingsâ.
The current average download speeds across the Chorus network is 30.5 megabits per second (Mbps) but the upgrade will allow users to achieve download speeds approaching 1000Mbps and uploads of up to 500Mbps.
Comparatively, many Australians who have signed up to the NBN currently receive download speeds within the range of 25Mbps to a possible maximum of 100 Mbps. Full fibre connections are expected to make up about 20 per cent of the completed NBN rollout meaning retailers will one day be able to offer 1Gbps speeds to the lucky few.
NBN Co. is also working on future technologies in a bid to give the old copper fibre-like speeds, however it will be several years before such a possibility could benefit Australian internet users, and even then many technologists view it as a misguided desire to squeeze the remaining life from an outdated technology before it inevitably gets replaced.
While a growing number of smaller Australian service providers have moved into the market to offer 1Gbps speeds to Australians, they are quite limited in their footprint and are currently only available in specific areas.
Existing Chorus customers with a fibre connection who are keen to upgrade to the 1Gbps speeds will simply need to sign up for it, and wonât need a technician to come to their home.
In the highly politicised debate around Australiaâs broadband network, many people have lamented the disproportionate focus that has been placed on download speeds, but nevertheless it remains an important and much lauded indicator of internet performance.
A connection capable of 1Gbps speeds is the equivalent to uploading 25 high resolution images to Facebook in under five seconds, downloading 25 MP3 songs in a second or streaming ultra-HD movies to 40 different devices simultaneously, the company pointed out.
Obviously Chorus is servicing a much smaller population, and surface area, than Australia. The companyâs footprint covers most major towns and cities such as Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin.
So as always reality disagrees with you.
And since you are in Auckland your service provider Chorus has some of the quickest internet speeds in the world,far quicker than Australia.
So caught in yet another pointless lie Ada.
Will you ever learn?
