Check this out! The State Services Commission and SilverStripe have mashed google maps to bring us the National Broadband Map, - a nice and easy way to find who's got decent data connectivity in your area - who's got fibre or radio etc. Judging by the suppliers who are not on the list, one can work out who's not being transparent about their capabilities. Genius! Hats off to you guys!
Now all we need is someone to use this as a base (it's open source) and allow the general public/user to contribute, compare the different broadband suppliers, their service, real connection speeds and costs. I'd love to know who's got a better connection in my area and tell others about mine too. Like foodspy.co.nz but for broadband with a map.
Any takers?

Added foodspy.co.nz, removed pricespy.co.nz
