Congestion Issues Resolved
May 2015 Urban/Rural Broadband Report
New Zealand data use soared immediately Netflix launched in mid March 2015, according to Spark, and over the next two
months there was not enough capacity for supply to meet demand on some ISPs connections we monitor. But by May the
shortfall in supply was mostly satisfied, just a month and a half after the NetFlix launch, demonstrating the highly
competitive nature of the ISP market in New Zealand.
Rural Broadband is reported this month with a fresh look at Satellite which, despite high latency, manages to achieve
website downloads competitive with ADSL.
This is our first report on our new website truenet.nz
