The New Zealand Commerce Commission (the Commission) is New Zealand's competition regulator. One of our functions is to actively monitor and promote competition in telecommunications markets; and ensure
consumers benefit from better service, prices and choice.
We are seeking proposals to implement and undertake nationwide measurement and reporting of the quality of experience for residential broadband services over a three year period.
We are looking for credible providers who have the capability, experience and infrastructure to deliver accurate and accessible quality of experience information on a regular basis. You will need to have a
proven track record in the management and implementation of broadband quality of experience testing, effective reporting and consumer engagement.
We are seeking to maximise the consumer benefits of testing, by making information more accessible to consumers to allow the comparison of actual performance with advertised performance. The testing
regime should be able to:
• Support consumers to make price/quality decisions between access technologies and broadband providers, by providing easily accessible, robust and relevant information.
• Accurately compare rural and urban broadband quality of experience.
• Assess and compare current offerings in the broadband market segment, such as fixed wireless.
• Deliver robust testing consistent with similar overseas regulators.
• Continue to evolve to remain relevant and consistent with good industry practice.
