We use multiple devises within our home at the same time.
Cons
Need to revisit our plan as with two teenage children we are usually out of fast internet by the 20th of the month.

We used ADSL as a temporary option while waiting for our Fibre to set up. However, it took us almost 3 months of rescheduling and in the end we just gave up.
There was a bit of drama when cancellig our fibre installation, we were promised that we can cancel and not get charged by the early termination fee. But then, they say they will charge us. When we tell them that we were promised by another agent with a reference number, they keep on mentioning that its part of the T&C. Needed to talk to a different agent who was willing to do as what was promised.
After switching to another provider, the same technician who came for our scoping said that his plan got rejected by BigPipe, but instantly approved by Stuff Fibre. It must be that BigPipe doesnΓÇÖt want to pay the extra price of installing fibre at my house, because it needs more work. Good thing I switched, if not we will never ever get fibre.

best internet we have had, we live rural and suffered on spark as it was slow and sometimes didnt work at all and now have been on primo for 2 years with only a couple of issues.
Pros
really fast like in town, hardly any issues.
Cons
more expensive than others but worth it i think, they need an unlimited plan and afterhours help.

Pros
good support, fast speed and no peak time issues.
Cons
would be better if it was cheaper and needs better coverage.

I've been with primo for years now and have never had my service interrupted through a failure of theirs or their equipment. They were the first and ONLY company in my area to provide an alternative to dial up or the overpriced and useless satellite options. I know there are cheaper faster options out there, but not where I live, and they could be ripping us the same way farmside does its customers but they don't. I have no problem with their contract as I have no one else offering me ANY access to the internet, let alone reliable, fast reasonably priced internet Those of us out in the hills were getting right royally ... by the companies that were and still are operating in rural areas. These guys had to build their own infrastructure and maintain it from the start . They are the only company I have ever dealt with that dropped its price and bettered its service of their own accord. ...read more
