A friend of mine is moving flat in Wellington and looking for the best ISP for gaming. At the moment he has the worse connection out of our crew and regularly drops out so he's highly motivated to get something that doesn't suck.

UFB isn't available where his new flat is so he's looking at either Snap VDSL (with Fritzbox 7490) or Vodafone Cable.

I left Wellington a while back so I'm not really sure who to recommend. In Wellington I was on Telstra Cable/ Paradise at the time it was the best connection eva - which I'm guessing has morphed into Vodafone. However my experience of Vodafone DSL speed/ reliability/ customer service a few years back was appalling.

My experiences with Snap connectivity/ speed/ reliability/ support as both a residential and business customer in the South Island has been excellent, but I'm not sure how that translates across the Strait.

What do Wellington gamers recommend?
