From 3.5 to 12.7 just because 1-10 is so overrated, it's like a 6.5 out of 4.3 to 16.2.

Starlink, because the RBI 4G towers near me are full and congested for those who have access., and there aren't any local WISPS with coverage here. I'm in Kerikeri. I'll give them a 10.1 because I simply could not do my day job without it.

RBI needs a lot more investment in NZ. Starlink is the best/only option for a lot of people.

I’m on Starlink as well, and it’s a game changer. Similar wisp situation where I’m at (Wairarapa), but as I deliver a lot of online training I also have a backup 4g connection with some carefully placed antennas. Starlink means the whole family can be online, downloading, watching videos etc while I can still work. 4g can manage when it’s just me.

I’ll give Starlink an 11.248, as it’s pretty bloody amazing and been super reliable for a dish you can take pretty much anywhere in the country (or on a boat as is my future plan)
