I'm on holiday Wed [Golden Bay] and going to buy some prepaid mobile board band but it appears that despite 21Mbps capable [or higher speed devices] bandwidth speed seems to be always be below 7.2 Mbps in rural or semi rural areas
I tried a 21Mbps device in Otane [between Waipawa and Hastings] and despite the [TCNZ] coverage maps saying the area had the best coverage for 3G I never got more than 4Mbps [peak] over 2 days using their own bandwidth tools
Seems buying a 21Mbps device is a waste of time
What has been other peoples experiences ?
