After a lot of investigation in to the various services for broadband in New Zealand I went out and picked up a Woosh wireless modem from Newmarket DSE on a 10Gb/month contract.  It gives us the ability to be able to move around within the coverage area and means we don’t need to sign up for a POTS line or ADSL service untill we work out where we will live.

So far I’ve found it great, pretty fast (~100Kbytes/sec from USA sites) the latency is a little high (around 150ms within NZ, and 350-400ms to US) but this was expected with a wireless service, it is consistant so have been able to sucessfully use VOIP with www.0064.co.nz.
