Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the lifeblood of the Internet - it is the size and quality of the ISPs link to the rest of the world. Maxnet provides reliability and diversity to the network via multihoming the bandwidth of multiple upstream providers.
Multihoming is a technique to increase the reliability of the Internet connection for a network. Maxnet bandwidth is sourced through three separate upstream suppliers to provide the highest level of bandwidth redundancy available in NZ.
Multihoming is extremely important because from time-to-time an upstream provider will have either a total outage or a problem that will affect its ability to supply adequate bandwidth to its downstream ISP customers. This means that if one of our suppliers has an outage, we have two other suppliers able to provide continuity of bandwidth supply.
The diversity of our bandwidth supply provides another major benefit to Maxnet customers. It provides Maxnet with direct paths into several locations worldwide which means fast, low latency (i.e. reduced lag) connections to Australia, Asia and the USA.
