I don't know what speed difference between them, but as an engineer on the road most of time, the phone coverage from XT is way better than Vodafone. As I've got Telecom XT for work and vodafone for private.

Funny how the guy doing the tests wasn't wearing a Telecom t-shirt or anything... just sneakily performing the tests outside 2Degrees and Vodafone stores to try steal the customers away.

Still prefer 2Degrees as I live/work in a broadband zone and get much cheaper data allowances than with Telecom

WOOT Telecom FTW

Does the Telecom network cache any 'popular' data. If so, this test would be deemed an unfair test

"TelecomNZ network"? Only mentioned XT once - is the XT brand being dropped?

Carefully tested outside 2degrees and vodafone retail outlets
