Where do I find really fast internet access in Auckland, New Zealand?
I have a ton of data to upload to my dropbox for backup purposes and the wifi at my hotel is just too slow.
How would I go about finding access to really fast internet in Auckland? I have been to a couple of coffee shops , but they have a really slow upload as well.
Perhaps there is a library or a university that would allow guest access?

My latest technique is to get any connection, and then use Instabridge - a free app for Android, that does two very important things:
Shows where open wifi is (including password-protected ones which have been crowdsourced - e.g. a kind soul has added his home wifi to the list). This is displayed on a map.
For most of the access points shown, a tested speed for the connection is displayed as well. This quickly shows you at a glance where the fast wifi connections are.
Looking at it from here, it looks like there's a faster connection on Karangahape Road, and a community-provided one just west of Albert Park, both running around 6Mbps.
