About us

Broadband Compare makes it easy to compare broadband providers and plans in New Zealand and find an option that suits your needs and budget. Whether you're looking for a low-cost plan, faster speeds, flexible terms or better overall value, our comparison tool helps you see what's available at your address and compare your options side by side.

Our database includes hundreds of broadband plans from a wide range of New Zealand providers, covering fibre, fixed wireless, 4G and 5G broadband, rural broadband and satellite services. We compare plans from major providers such as 2degrees, One NZ and Spark, alongside challenger and specialist providers including Simply Broadband (see more about our relationship with Simply Broadband here), Bryte and 360Net, as well as providers offering broadband as part of wider utility bundles such as Contact Energy, Sky and Mercury.

Our comparison tool is designed to be simple, flexible and personalised. Enter your address and you can filter the available plans based on the things that matter to you, such as price, speed, data, contract length, no-contract options, modem requirements and other features. You can also choose how you want to sort the results, we default to the Broadband Compare Rating, but you can change to by price too, whatever makes it easier to make your own informed decision.

We don't believe there is one "best" broadband plan for everyone. Different households have different requirements, which is why Broadband Compare uses your address and preferences to help identify plans that may be a good fit for you. Our aim is to give you the information and choice you need to decide which broadband provider and plan is right for you.

Simply enter your address to see the broadband plans available at your property and start comparing.

Broadband Compare is a trading name of Global Compare Group Limited, an independently owned New Zealand company based in Auckland.


How Do You Rank Broadband Plans?

The right broadband plan depends on what you need from your connection, where you live and what matters most to you. A family streaming, gaming and working from home will have very different requirements from someone who mainly uses the internet for email and browsing.

That's why Broadband Compare doesn't simply pick one provider or plan and call it “the best”.

We match broadband plans to your individual requirements and rank them based on the value they offer for those requirements.

Every broadband plan receives a Broadband Compare score from 0–100. This score is calculated using our comparison algorithm, which assesses the features and characteristics of the plan.

Broadband Compare Editorial Guidelines

Our editorial content is created to help consumers make informed decisions and is based on research, data and information we believe to be accurate and relevant.

Broadband Compare is a commercial business, and we may receive commissions, referral fees or advertising revenue from some of the companies featured on our websites. We clearly identify sponsored content and disclose relevant conflicts of interest, including where a provider is part of the wider Global Compare Group.

Commercial relationships do not guarantee a positive review or recommendation, and we aim to apply fair, consistent and transparent editorial standards to the products and services we cover.

Check out our Editorial Guidelines to find out how we produce our content.


Our Conflict of Interest Policy

We believe transparency is essential to maintaining the trust of our customers. We operate a number of consumer brands and comparison services, and some of the businesses we feature may have commercial or ownership relationships with us.

Our approach is simple. We disclose relevant relationships.

Where a company we feature, compare or recommend is part of Global Compare Group, we aim to make that relationship clear. For example, Simply Broadband is part of Global Compare Group and may be featured on Broadband Compare.

Our Relationship with Simply Broadband

Transparency is important to us.

Simply Broadband is also part of Global Compare Group, the company behind Broadband Compare.

Because of this relationship, Simply Broadband may appear on Broadband Compare alongside other broadband providers. We believe it is important that you know about this relationship so you can understand how our businesses are connected when using our comparison services.

How Do We Make Money?

Broadband Compare is part of Global Compare Group, and we generate revenue through a combination of comparison services, customer referrals, subscriptions and advertising.

Our comparison brands, including NZ Compare, Broadband Compare, Power Compare and Mobile Compare, may receive a fee when a customer signs up or switches to a partner. PriceMe earns revenue through cost-per-click and affiliate commissions when customers visit or purchase from retailer partners. We also generate revenue through display advertising, sponsored placements and paid promotional exposure across our websites.

Simply Broadband generates revenue from customers who subscribe to its broadband service.

Commercial relationships do not influence our comparison rankings, reviews or results, which are determined using our published methodologies.

How We Publish And Moderate Reviews

Our aim is to provide a genuine and useful picture of consumers’ experiences. We welcome both positive and negative reviews and do not remove reviews simply because a business disagrees with them.

Consumers submitting a review are required to provide contact details. These details are not necessarily published with the review and allow us to contact the reviewer if we need to clarify their experience or verify a review.

Any review we publish is done so in accordance with our review policies which can be found here.

We value your feedback and take complaints seriously. If you’re unhappy with our service, content, comparison information or the way we have handled an issue, we want to hear from you. Our complaint policy can be found here.
