A new broadband comparison website offers Northlanders the chance to find the best broadband deals on offer in New Zealand.
The Broadband Compare website opened for business late last week and offers internet users the chance to visit a free-to-use, one-stop-shop website to see over 2700 broadband deals on offer from 70 internet service providers operating in New Zealand.
Broadband Compare founder and CEO Gavin Male said the number of Kiwis online is predicted to grow to 4.4 million by 2020 and as ultra-fast broadband is rolled out throughout the country, the site would become a key tool for internet consumers.
"When compared to other markets internationally, New Zealand is actually very expensive for internet services, especially for higher data users," he said. "Broadband Compare will empower consumers to find the most appropriate broadband plan for them, at the best price."
He said there is a perception there are only a handful of internet service providers (ISPs) operating in New Zealand "but in reality there are actually more than 80 ISPs, offering a total of more than 2700 packages, and that's a lot of choice".
