If you want a fast internet connection, you should sign up for broadband. There are four main types of broadband connection available, but ADSL is the most commonly used. ADSL is available to around 95% of New Zealand homes and allows you to talk on the phone at the same time as surfing the net. Interestingly, despite its high availability, use of broadband in New Zealand is low, with most people having dial-up connections. Prices for broadband start from $30 a month.
