  Gigabit Broadband NZ - What is it and how fast is it?
  Gigabit broadband is an ultra-high form of high speed Internet which is capable of providing download speeds of 1GB (gigabit) per second (Gbps). This download speed is the equivalent of 1000 Mbps where the average download speed across Chorus' networks is 30.5 megabits per second (Mbps). Gigabit broadband offers real world download speeds approaching 1,000Mbps and uploads of up to 500Mbps. This is the equivalent to uploading 25 high resolution images to Facebook in under five seconds; downloading 25 MPg3 songs in a second or streaming ultra-HD movies to 40 different devices simultaneously. Pretty sweet, aye?
