I live in Mangawhai and I can only get 41Mbit down and 10Mbit up!

What kind of shoddy service is this ?!?! ;-)

I think my move from Titirangi to Mangawhai is working out quite well ... a house 4 times the size, with 25 times as much land and internet that is 4 times faster download and 10 times faster upload!

Why would anyone still live in Auckland ? ;-)
