ISP stats

Stats NZ has done its annual ISP survey. Some changes over time:

Dialup connections have dropped from 13% in 2011 to 3% in 2014
Fibre connections up from 13,000 in 2013 to 46,000 in 2014
Broadband download speeds of under 8 Mb/s down from 33% in 2011 to 14% in 2014
Broadband download speeds of over 24Mb/s up from 2% in 2011 to 16% in 2014
Broadband upload speeds of under 1.5 Mb/s down from 80% in 2011 to 38% in 2014
Broadband upload speeds of over 10Mb/s up from 0% in 2011 to 16% in 2014
Plans with no data caps up 2% to 8%
Plans with a data cap of over 50 GB up from 2% to 39%
Monthly PBs (million GBs) used up from 13.4 in 2011 to 53.1 in 2014
ISPs that are IPv6 capable up from 30% in 2011 to 52% in 2014

Really good to see the growth in plans with no data caps, and also the quite significant speed increases.
