According to a report from TrueNet, Telecom was the best mobile ISP in Auckland for the month June 2011. Interesting chart on that report too, so you can spot where each ISP performed best.
The thing that annoys me about these Truenet reports is that being the fastest is pretty much the least important thing for most people. Once you get a decent level of speed (say, over 1 or 1.5Mbps) your connection is fast enough to do more or less anything you want to do with MBB (given the fact that datacaps prohibit mass torrent downloads etc).
Secondly, stating average speeds and average latency is a waste of time IMO. Once you get an acceptable level of service, the most important thing for me as a mobile broadband user is consistency.
For example, one carrier could have the best average latency of 104ms, but if the results were 5 results of 300ms and 15 results of 40ms, then that is far worse, to me, than a carrier with average latency of 120ms where the latency never ever goes above 150ms
