False Name 7.2

We live in a valley near town with no fibre or ADSL available .We have been rejected by Vodaphone, Spark and Farmside as "outside RBI coverage".
Netspeed and their local Manawatu agents deserve kudos as the only company who tried to get us coverage on the RBI and succeeded.

Pros

Offered test with no charge if they could not supply reliable connection to RBI
NetSpeed offering cost and provision similar to wireless nation.
Pretty helpful service

Cons

Small company, sometimes don't have staff to deal with widespread problem individually.
Set up not cheap as had to pay for their selected and supplied modem

Ben with Voyager (business) unlimited UFB since it was available in our area. It's reliable and fast, but mainly they are just so easy to deal with.

Been with Unlimited internet twice. Both times have been a great experience. Jumped ship to Bigpipe to make use of a massive special and because 100/20 fibre was not offered at the time, only 100/100. Now 100/20 is offered for $70 flat, no contract making this THE BEST option out there for fibre users.
Only switched to Orcon as flat mate works there and gets account credit. The bottom dollar drives our flat account.

Pros

Best value for $$
Slightly above full speed (105mbps speedtest.net however I live very close to an exchange)
Great support (gave a 9 instead of 10 as I never had issues to properly test the level support)

Cons

Gave 7 for features as no direct debit option, had to use credit card or bank deposit. Direct debit preferred as no admin involved

Have been with Actrix (now subsumed by Voyager) for 17 years. The quality of service desk support is amazing - very technically able, with great problem solving ability. I just wish folk would see beyond familiar brands and price to an organization that will really help if something goes wrong.

I feel like Slingshot are focused on income not customers

Pros

We're still on ADSL; it's surprisingly fast: download 16Mbps

Cons

Slingshot increased our monthly charge a month after we began our contract in 2015. They then overcharged us for the next six months. Our landline lost connection for two months. They charged us for insurance when we di ...read more

works well but seems expensive

Spark 4G wireless broadband is our only real option as there is no spare copper cable to our new address and it would cost thousands to have one installed. Actually its a no-brainer as it is only slightly more expensive than the VDSL we had at our previous (neighbouring) address. We were near the limit of distance from the roadside cabinet.

Pros

Just slightly more expensive than VDSL and Landline phone. Free modem. Easy setup. Good incentive offer for changing at the time. Quite fast. VoIP, with NZ landline 'toll' calls free.

Cons

Rather expensive. Phone not available if electricity is off, though this is not too much of a problem if one has a mobile phone. Two year minimum term.
