Notes

New download and upload speed breakdowns were introduced in 2018 to match the faster and more modern speeds available on broadband connections.
These figures include both residential and business connections. They include digital subscriber line, cellular (excluding mobile phone connections), fixed wireless, cable, satellite, and fibre optic connections.
Due to rounding, figures may not add to the stated totals. The speeds indicated above are theoretical maximums, and do not necessarily reflect experienced speeds.
Data as at 30 June.

Inclusions

The Internet Service Provider (ISP) Survey is a survey sent to all New Zealand-based Internet service providers. The target population for the ISP Survey in 2018 was 92 businesses.

Exclusions

Businesses that provided other Internet services, such as web and domain hosting, but that did not provide ISP services, were excluded from the population. This is because the primary activity of an ISP is providing a connection to the Internet. Web-hosting units do not meet this condition, but rather, provide Internet-based services. Businesses that provide only occasional or unmetered access (including Internet cafes, kiosks, libraries, and universities) are also excluded. The activity of this group is covered by the ISP each business subscribes to, and so do not need to be surveyed separately.
