For those intereted, trademe has been running a survey of ISPs and a test of performance. http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/community/survey_results.asp The results are interesting - paradise comes out fastest in dialup and 2 Mbit customers, but only third in 256 kbit customers. DSL and Dialup account for ~40% of customers each, with wireless/cable/corporate taking the last 20%. The subjective questions of perceived reliability, customer support and value for money have little correlation to the speeds, which is interesting. Inspire Net comes out best in two out of three and second in the other category. Any comments on the speed differences for 256 kbit customers?
