I'm new to NZ from the UK and have just rented a place in Murrays Bay, North Shore, Auckland.
I'm looking for an ISP for a fast DSL/VoIP and am close to the ADSL2 exchange BSY/Exchange.
The thing is i'll be needing to upload and download fairly hefty files from the UK as I am still doing a bit of work for my former employer. Obviously server latency to the UK will be a bit shocking, but I was wondering if the different ISP's have different routing to the wider web or dedicated pipes out, any of which would affect the speed at which I can upload and download.
i don't really know any of the ISP's over here (except Vodafone - and I'm not sure about their fixed networks) and have spent the afternoon in a state of investigative confusion.
From my limited knowledge, I was looking at Orcon, Xnet, & Telecom (non VoIP). Recommendations would be gratefully received...
