The average peak hour 4G speed is 44Mbps download, and 17Mbps upload. Actual speeds may be faster or slower, depending on your distance to the nearest tower, your location, and how many people are using that same tower simultaneously. Full Speed Data means as fast as the cell tower will allow at that time. Speeds are from the Commerce Commission’s Measuring Broadband New Zealand (MBNZ) October 2025 report.
