Well Xtras always good for a start (yes I know you may argue that point
but we all know when every ISP has a glitch Telecom will work on Xtra
first).

Other than that I haven't tried Orcon, but the Orcon people here seem
very onto it. And an ISP with brains is always a bonus.

Web InterNet seem pretty onto it too. Have only heard good from them.

If your connection is going to used for gaming mainly (like mine gaming
to paradise servers) Id go for paradise (always less latency inside your
isp's network).

Best bet is stay with a sizable ISP though. Chances are they have SLA's
with the companies they supply bigger pipes to, so in general their
outages happen less.

Just my thoughts anyway.
