So you’ve seen it in the news and want to know if you are at risk.  Ransomware is the latest ‘super-virus’ to be released on an unsuspecting world… but what is it and how do you protect yourself?

Have you heard about the Internet of Things (IoT)?  You should have… because it is happening all around us... right now...

As we celebrate our first full year of trading as Broadband Compare since our official re-launch on 30th June 2016 we can look back and see the many achievements we have made.  It is this great progress that prompted us to enter the 2017 Westpac Auckland Business Awards.

The inaugural Broadband Compare Awards launch this week in response to the increasingly diversified sector of more than 100 internet providers offering services across the country.

Fibre broadband is much faster than standard broadband, offering download speeds from 30Mbps up to almost 1000Mbps. It is not yet available everywhere as standard broadband, but coverage is growing all the time so you have a good chance of being able to get it.

Latest figures on ultrafast broadband uptake have been released and it seems that New Zealand is loving fibre broadband with over a third of New Zealanders with access to Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) now connected.

The team at Broadband Compare are very happy to be highlighted in the #StartUpWatch section of NZ Entrepreneur Magazine!  Read more
