I honestly don't know.

BUT . . . with my company Mobile phone package here in Bulgaria I have a 
WiFi USB dongle
that gives me unlimited (fairly slow) internet in about 90% of Bulgaria.

As I do not have a laptop, but do have a wild assortment of Pentium 4 
PCs at home, in my villa in the mountains
and at my work this really is rather a good thing.

I wonder if your NZ ISP might have these as an option.
