TrueNet clocks Big Pipe as fastest ADSL
TrueNet's July 2014 urban broadband report says newcomer Bigpipe is the fastest ADSL ISP for downloading New Zealand web pages. The Spark-owned, no frills service provider was fractionally ahead of Slingshot and Flip downloading eight pages in just 3.4 seconds.
Bigpipe also turned in a solid time-of-day result equaling Orcon. This measures the lowest performance of the day as a percentage of the day's maximum speed — the pair delivered 98 percent.
