🎮 Best Unlimited Broadband for Gaming
For online gaming, not all unlimited broadband plans are created equal. A smooth, lag-free experience in fast-paced games like Call of Duty, Valorant, or EA FC requires more than just a basic connection. To get a competitive edge, you need to focus on two key factors: speed and latency.
Why Speed Matters
- Download Speed: This is how quickly you can pull data from the internet. A high download speed is essential for downloading new games and massive updates (which can often be over 100GB) without waiting for days.
- Upload Speed: This is how quickly you can send data from your computer to the internet. It's crucial for sending your in-game actions to the server, ensuring your teammates hear you clearly on voice chat, and for streaming your gameplay on platforms like Twitch.
Why Latency (Ping) is Even More Important
Latency, often measured as "ping," is the reaction time of your internet connection. It's the tiny delay between you pressing a button and the game server registering that action.
- Low Latency (Good): Your actions feel instant and responsive. You see events in the game as they happen, giving you a fair chance against opponents.
- High Latency (Bad): This is the cause of frustrating "lag." You might get eliminated by an opponent you didn't even see on your screen, or your character might stutter and jump around. In competitive gaming, low latency is your best friend.
For the ultimate gaming experience, a Fibre connection is the undisputed champion. It offers both ultra-fast download and upload speeds, and most importantly, it provides the most stable and lowest latency available. When comparing plans, look for providers offering
(ideally 950Mbps or higher) and specifically mention low latency or "gamer" traffic prioritisation for the best possible performance.
👨👩👧👦 Best Unlimited Broadband for Streaming and Families
The modern Kiwi family home is a hub of online activity. It’s common to have someone streaming a movie in 4K on the smart TV, while someone else watches YouTube on an iPad, another person is on a work video call, and a fourth is scrolling through TikTok. All of this happening at once puts a huge demand on your internet connection.
To keep everyone happy and avoid the dreaded buffering wheel, you need a broadband plan that can handle a large volume of traffic simultaneously.
What Your Family Plan Needs
For streaming and family use, the most important factor is high-speed bandwidth. Think of your broadband connection as a motorway. The more lanes it has (i.e., the higher the speed), the more devices can run at full throttle without causing a traffic jam.
- HD vs 4K Streaming: A single HD stream on Netflix uses about 3GB of data per hour, while a 4K Ultra HD stream uses around 7GB per hour. When you have multiple streams running, the data usage adds up incredibly fast.
- Unlimited Data is a Must: With this level of usage, an unlimited data plan isn't just a nice-to-have; it's essential. It gives you the freedom to stream, work, and play without ever worrying about surprise bills or your service being slowed down.
The Best Choice: High-Speed Fibre
A Fibre connection is the ideal solution for families. It provides the consistent, fast speeds needed to support multiple 4K streams at once. While a standard is a great starting point, a family with very heavy internet use should strongly consider a. . This ensures there is more than enough bandwidth to go around, future-proofing your home and guaranteeing a seamless experience for everyone, no matter what they're doing online.
Plans like Spark's Unlimited Entertainment Plan are excellent examples, as they not only provide fast fibre but often bundle in a Netflix subscription, making them perfect for a household of avid streamers.
Cheapest Unlimited Broadband NZ
Everyone wants to find a great deal, and for many Kiwi households, securing the is a top priority. While it's tempting to simply pick the plan with the lowest price tag, it's important to make sure you're getting good value for your money.
💰 Finding the Most Affordable Unlimited Data Plans
The cheapest plan on paper isn't always the best deal if it's slow, unreliable, or comes with poor customer service. The real goal is to find an affordable plan that still meets your household's needs. Here are a few tips to find the best value:
- Look Beyond the Headline Price: A plan might seem cheap, but check for extra costs like modem rental or a one-off setup fee.
- Bundle Your Services: The single best way to save is often by bundling your broadband with your power or mobile plan. Providers frequently offer significant monthly discounts for keeping your services with them.
- Choose a 12-Month Contract: While open-term plans offer flexibility, you will almost always pay a lower monthly price by committing to a 12 or 24-month contract.
- Catch a Sign-Up Deal: Keep an eye out for special promotions.. Providers are always competing for your business with offers like "first 3 months free," a free premium router, or joining credits. These can dramatically lower your costs over the first year.
Ultimately, the best value plan is one that delivers the speed and reliability you need at a price you're comfortable with. A plan that's $5 more per month but never leaves you buffering is often a much better investment.
👍 Budget-Friendly Broadband Providers
While pricing is always changing, some providers are consistently known for their sharp, competitive pricing on unlimited plans. Companies like ,, and power companies that bundle broadband are often leaders in the budget-friendly space.
Here is a sample comparison of common entry-level unlimited fibre plans to show you what to look for.
Please note: This table is an example only. Prices and terms change regularly. Use our live comparison tool for today's exact pricing and offers.
Provider | Plan Example | Typical Speed | Contract | Good For... |
Slingshot | Unlimited Fibre | 300/100 Mbps | 12 Months | Excellent all-around value and power bundle options. |
2degrees | Unlimited Fibre | 300/100 Mbps | 12 Months or Open | Great pricing with the option for no-contract flexibility. |
Contact Energy | Unlimited Broadband | 300/100 Mbps | 12 Months | Significant savings when bundled with a Contact power plan. |
Unlimited Broadband NZ: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are the answers to some of the most common questions Kiwis have when choosing an unlimited broadband plan.
A: Yes, for the vast majority of households, it is. When a provider offers an "unlimited" plan, it means you can stream, game, work, and browse as much as you want without worrying about hitting a data limit or facing extra charges.
Most providers have a "Fair Use Policy," but this isn't something a typical family needs to worry about. Think of it as a rule to prevent a very small number of users from using a residential connection for massive-scale commercial purposes (like running a data centre) that could slow down the network for everyone else. For all normal household activities, no matter how heavy, unlimited means unlimited.
A: This is a great question, and it comes from a common point of confusion. Wi-Fi is the wireless technology that your modem-router uses to share your internet connection with your devices (like your laptop or phone) inside your home. The service you pay for each month is the broadband plan that brings the internet into your house.
Therefore, the cost is for the broadband plan, not the Wi-Fi itself. To find the "cheapest unlimited Wi-Fi," you need to look for the cheapest unlimited broadband plan, which will almost always include a Wi-Fi modem.
We cover this in detail above in our Cheapest Unlimited Broadband NZ section.
A: Choosing the right connection type is key. Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Fibre:This is the best and fastest option available. It uses modern fibre-optic glass cables to deliver internet at the speed of light. It's incredibly fast, stable, and reliable, making it the top choice for streaming, gaming, and busy households.
- VDSL:This uses the older copper phone lines to connect you. It's much faster than old ADSL connections and can be a solid option if you can't get Fibre, but it can't match Fibre for top speed or reliability.
- Wireless (4G/5G): This uses the same mobile networks as your smartphone to deliver internet to a modem in your home. 5G Wireless can be extremely fast—sometimes as fast as Fibre—making it an excellent alternative if Fibre hasn't been installed in your area yet.
Fibre is generally the best option if it's available. The easiest way to find out what you can get is to use our address checker.
A: Absolutely! Bundling your broadband with other utilities like power or your mobile plan is one of the easiest and most popular ways to save money. Providers will offer you a "bundle and save" discount for keeping multiple services with them. Not only does it lower your monthly bill, but it also simplifies your expenses into a single payment.
A: Switching is much easier than you think, and your new provider does most of the work for you. There is typically little to no downtime.
- Compare and Choose: Use our comparison tool right here on Broadband.co.nz to compare plans and find the perfect new provider for your needs.
- Sign Up Online: Click through to your chosen provider's website and complete their simple sign-up form. This usually takes about five minutes.
- They Handle the Rest: That's it! Your new provider will arrange the switch with your old company and send out a new Wi-Fi modem if needed. You don't have to make the awkward "break-up call" yourself.
Choosing the Right Unlimited Broadband Plan for You
You're now equipped with all the key information about unlimited broadband in New Zealand. This final section will help you bring it all together to select the perfect plan with confidence.
✅ Assess Your Household's Needs
The "best" plan is always the one that matches your specific usage. Run through this simple checklist to get a clear picture of what you need:
- How many people and devices will be online? The more devices you have connected at once, the more speed you'll need to keep everything running smoothly. A family of four will need a more powerful plan than a single person.
- What are your main online activities?
- General Use: Browse, email, and social media use less data and speed.
- Streaming: Are you watching in HD or 4K? 4K streaming requires a faster, more stable connection.
- Gaming: Competitive online gaming requires the low latency and high speed that only Fibre can truly provide.
- Working from Home: Frequent video calls and transferring large files also benefit from a faster, more reliable connection.
- What is your monthly budget? Decide what you're comfortable spending and remember to look for bundling deals with your power or mobile to get the best possible price.
Answering these questions will help you decide if a standard Fibre 300 plan is sufficient, or if your family would be better off with a faster Fibre 950 plan.
🗓️ Consider Contract Length
Your final decision is whether to lock in a deal or stay flexible.
- Fixed-Term Contracts (12 or 24 months)
- Pros: These almost always offer a cheaper monthly price and often come with incentives like a free modem and no setup fees.
- Cons: You are locked in for the duration of the contract, and leaving early will incur a break fee.
- Best for: Homeowners or long-term renters who are settled and want the lowest possible monthly cost.
- Open-Term Plans (No-Contract)
- Pros: You have complete flexibility to change plans or providers at any time without penalty.
- Cons: The monthly price is usually higher, and you may have to pay a one-off fee for your modem or setup.
- Best for: Students, renters, or anyone who anticipates moving in the near future.
✨ Ready to Find Your Perfect Plan?
You now have everything you need to make an informed choice. The ideal unlimited broadband plan—one that matches your family's needs, your budget, and your desired contract length—is ready and waiting.
