How fast is Spark NZ 5G in your city, attach a Speedtest. 

 

 

 

When within 10m of a tower (DUNEDIN); seeing latency of 38ms / Download 613Mbps / Upload 82Mbps

 

6x faster than home fibre (DL) / 4x faster (UL)

 

 

 

When away from a tower, typically 300-400 Mbps download

@techwizard 6 x faster cause you are on a plan that limits your fibre speed true potential

 

Edit: check out this thread speeds around 1Gbps down out Block House Bay
