EZYsurf use Wired Country's network, as does Ihug, PCconnect and
several other ISPs (check out
www.wiredcountry.co.nz). Ezysurf have
the cheapest 2mbit connection IMHO but Ihug probably have the cheapest
1mbit connection although it depends on your usage patterns and such.
PCconnect probably have the cheapest 256k connection although once
again, usage patterns etc may change this. Ezysurf and Ihug are said
to have good low latency connections on their data limited plans (all
Ihug plans are data limited) but EzySurf's unlimited plans have shared
international bandwidth and crappy international latency on their non
data limited plans so unless you're a real heavy download, I would
personally suggest you stay away from the data limited plans. Most or
all Wired Couuntry ISPs are offering free/unlimited national traffic.
If you want to find out more, the people (including me) at
nzwireless.org (not .co.nz!) tend to be helpful...
