Orcon's Broadband speeds beat out rivals

As a part of their on-going commitment to providing New Zealand's best broadband, Auckland based telecommunications provider Orcon has announced that it has increased its international and domestic network capacity.

"Orcon is making certain that our broadband product is light years ahead of everyone else! We are providing one of, if not the best bandwidth ratios per user in the industry, meaning that our customers are receiving the best broadband experience possible" says Orcon's General Manager, Scott Bartlett..

Orcon's network engineers conduct rigorous planning and forecasting to ensure that additional bandwidth is bought onto the network in plenty of time to satisfy demand. Because of this continuous upgrade process there will not be a noticeable difference in connection speed for most users.

"Users are placing increased demands on the network every day as they begin to use more sophisticated multimedia applications. This, coupled with the volume of users that we are bringing onto the service, means we have to be planning well ahead to keep up with demand. We are truly proud of the speeds our network delivers, with global internet speed test site speedtest.net ranking Orcon's UBS network the fastest DSL broadband in New Zealand among the larger providers" concluded Bartlett.

About Orcon Orcon is New Zealand's 4th largest ISP, largest 100% kiwi owned ISP and the third largest internet wholesaler in New Zealand. Currently we employ over 100 people in our four offices and we connect over 100,000 New Zealand businesses and homes to the internet. In addition we maintain a small presence in Australia for our trans-Tasman corporate clients. We provide a range of services including UBS, ADSL, fibre and frame relay, and we are presently deploying a Siemens IP-voice based soft-switch (Surpass HiQ8000) as well as building NZ's most advanced data centre on Auckland's North Shore.
