The Basics of Internet Speed

Internet speed refers to how fast data travels to your device. For example, a Spotify song may need very little speed, such as just 1Mbps, but a 4K Netflix movie streamed at the highest quality would be as much as 24 Mbps. Many Kiwis are paying for more speed than they need.  Use our simple calculator below and find what you ACTUALLY need.  Then stop wasting money paying for more than you need.  You may be surprised!
