I like my works connection :-) Pings a bit shite at the moment but the connections still tasty.

Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
One hell of a ride.

DSL is DSL in NZ...as in it matters not who you go with. If speed matters and you can get cable then that's the way to go. Why do you need such fast speeds anyway....most of the limitations are caused by $hit connections between this island and the rest of the world.
An important factor in your choice of provider is who'll give you the cheapest phone calls.
Think of your broadband connection like a water pipe. Now think of ping time as the distance from your tap to the resovuar...the longer the pipe, the more time it takes for the water to travel from the resovuar to your tap (the more "hops it makes" the larger the latency or "ping".
Think of your speed as the size of the pipe. If you have a fat pipe, more water can travel at any given time.
In short, a "fat pipe" or fast connection won't make your games run quicker/smoother. For many gamers, something like a cheapo Kiwi Online 10Gb/256Mbps connection is ideal as opposed to a 3GB/Unlimited speed.
