Kia ora!
I am new to New Zealand and will be moving to Island bay on Sunday. I need some advice on Vodafone fibreX offering particularly in island bay parade. Is it any good? Cheers

I have been on Vodafone HFC cable (now sold as "FibreX") in Island Bay for 5 years.
As a TrueNet volunteer I have automated hourly speed test results recorded for every day of the past 4 years.
Cable/FibreX has been notorious for poor peak-hour performance, although this has partially improved this year.
Here are my own Time of Day (ToD) results for the past week:
This is for a 200/20 Mbps "FibreX" connection.
Wellington ToD:
Auckland ToD:
Sydney ToD:
As already stated, there will be no "real" fibre in Island Bay until December 2019.
Despite its faults, "FibreX" still out-performs VDSL at my address.
