Hi,

arriving in Christchurch on the 31st October for about 4 months.
We will be travelling around South then North Island.

I have an unlocked Huawei E160 HSDPA USB modem stick.

I am looking for 3 things (assuming that they are available in NZ as they are in the UK).

(1) SIM only deal - I assume it has to be PAYG unless someone does a rolling monthly contract.
(2) Good coverage on both islands and good rural coverage.
(3) Access to WiFi hotspots bundled in (as there is, for example, with O2 over here). This is a 'nice to have'.

Coverage is more important than top speed although both would be nice :-)

Cheers
