    New Zealand internet f'ing sucks

    Trying to upload a 300mb video to youtube. Going to take 10 hours.

    It appears there are no decent options for symmetrical broadband that do not involve the use of wireless.

    This is ridiculous .

    UFB will fix everything
    Whilst it is assumed we in NZ will only ever download and upstream only needs to support the http requests we are going to lead the world as a web economy

    No - unfortunately its the kinky one....

    This broadband upload thing is really stifling the amatuer porn industry in this country - I think you should conplain to an MP, I'd suggest Shane Jones or Darren Hughes....

    Well speaking from the country that has the fasted internet in the world ( sort off )
    I can say its bullsh,,,,,,
    We have unlimited usage at an advertised 1000 Mbps ( yes you read that right )
    We actually get 89 Mbps ......
    When u complain , you get told its best effort , or you live too far away from the server
    ( its across the road !!!)

    NZ actually ( in the main centres , from what I remember ) wasnt too bad you got a genuine 3 mbps international ( I or was getting I havent measured it lately ) 1.6 mbps
    You also had a lot of wifi hotspots ( they are quite backward here with wifi,,it is getting better though )

    You could always move to an area with Telstra cable, no problems uploading giant files - 2Mbit upload
